Thanks a million! Soo...more questions. If I put golf balls under her, would that eventually break her broodiness? I have 3 that are broody but don't want that many chicks. And I have a great rooster who loves his girls so I am sure I have fertile eggs. I'll check tonight.

I think I will just take all the eggs one day. Mark some of them and put them under her. How many should I give her?

Ok, stupid question, how do you tell fertile eggs? Should I remove all the eggs from the coop one night, check them (once I know how) and return them so I know they have all been laid the same day?

All right fellow BYCers, I am in need of some advice. I have an extremely broody buff Orpington and I have not been able to break her and I've tried all methods. My wife and I are at the point to where we are going to let her hatch out her eggs. Any advice is greatly appreciated as we have...

Back in the coop!!! Anyone heading to the Jasper County Fairgrounds Animal Swap/Flea Market this Sunday? My wife and kids will be out of town so I have told her I'm not responsible for what comes home with me... Also, we have officially decided to raise 15 turkeys and 50 cornish cross this year...

Yep. I think I tripped over a sewer pipe on the way in but things are looking nice!

We got pigs!!!

Whew, dodged some bullets at the animal swap/flea market today. Chicks for $1, Khaki ducklings for $3 and Pekin ducklings for $4! Almost came home with all 3!!!! Thank goodness my wife and I agreed that we aren't quite ready to add more.

Well bad news. Looks like our hive didn't survive the winter. Pretty bummed but hey, it happens. On the positive side, looks like we might be expanding our garden to a little over 2,000sqft. We are super excited!!!

Welcome! I am down 49 south of wheatfield and north of rensselaer!!

I honestly don't know if they have turkeys. I will look at their website and see. I also know that we have talked about a duck or two and also meat birds. We are just very busy this spring and early summer so any time to use the brooder will have to be July or later.

We are wanting to do a few meat turkeys but won't be ready for them until July. We are down in Rensselaer.

Quick question. Does this look like the beginning of a molt or is she getting picked on? No blood is present. She is one of my OEGBs.

Hello all! We are looking for 6-10 more pullets/hens to join our flock. We would like pullets/hens that either are laying or will be laying soon. My SILs family and MIL are loving the farm fresh eggs so we need to add more. No certain breed but good egg production is a must. I am in NWI but will...

My wife sent me this. They always have a good selection of animals and good ole flea market stuff. Up in Northwest Indiana.

First crack at pickled eggs. We had a bunch of bantam eggs so I figured they would work.

Well we found us a dog. He is a 2 year old Giant Schnauzer/Mastiff mix. He is going to be great!

Just soome chicken bonding during the warm weather!

We are on our second hive. Our first one did not survive the winter two years ago. This past year we put in a package from King Nuc (southern Michigan) and put them in a hive with lots of drawn comb. We fed the mess out of them hoping to have enough stores for the winter. I will let you know...

Holly cow! 17 eggs again today. These girls are unstoppable (for now)!
