Newhomesteader, I think processing rabbits is a little different than chickens also. I processed many roosters and chickens and finally have it down pretty good, I skin my chickens to avoid plucking, my DH won't help. Well I needed to process 3 rabbits that were about 8 months old and asked DH...

Cool website! My DH said he seen a coyote the other morning! Yikes!

Cute chick pics and piglets. Matt that is funny!

Pretty! Love it!

Your welcome let us know how they do! Rookie- Pretty prom dress and cool nails! I use to have pretty nails back in the day before kids! And chickens!

It IS upsetting when your chickens are sick and some start dying and to top it off, there is alot of opinions but everyone means well. Here is a link about the Duramycin. Also post #2 is answered by BYC member Dawg53. He is my go to person when I have sick chickens. My advice would be to PM him...

Quote: For the LF I give 1/2 an ml or 0.5ml, bantam 0.25ml. Part the feathers behind the neck and drop the liquid on their skin. For Duramycin I think I used 1 tablespoon per gallon.

Happy Mother's Day!

Here it is, the hygrometer My incubators were homemade cooler with a wafer thermostat and a computer fan. My temps were 100 and humidity 40% and 50% on day 18 and day 19 60% if I could get it that high. I really liked Pete55 hatching advice on the hatching thread and he has been stickied...

Wildriverswolf, If you don't have much $$ the WalMart glass fish thermometers work better than digital. The best hygrometer for the $ is from Eggcartons.com. They sell thermometers also. I would do a search here on how to calibrate both thermometer and hygrometer. It's not too terribly hard. I...

Thanks Bhep!

Sent you a pm!

I know she is glad! I have not been on this thread in a while but have been reading some here and there!

Thanks that's what I was wanting to know!

Hi, I'm ready for a good dry out. I have a quail question. My quail should be hatching soon and when(if) they get moved outside in their pen, can they be around chickens? I know the quail are too small for chickens but are there disease issues? How far apart? I know I should google but I...

My recipe idea uses more eggs! Mychickensrock, it took me 2 years to get the nerve up to "put down" my own chickens and eat them except if they are sick. Newhomesteader201, good luck with the potty training! Messy but worth it!

I was raised by yankees, NY'ers. How about pound cake? With peaches and ice cream?

Isn't cool when your roos and the neighbors' roos crow back and forth? I only can hear that outside! I finally had to put my big girl, farm girl panties on and learn to process my roos. It took about 2 years for me to get the spine and guts to do it. But I will say my DH cut down on the "You...

I think mine crow that early? I can't hear them! I asked my neighbor if they can hear them, they said no. I love the food pics! I only eat squash fried, same with okra. I have some grape vine that are in really bad shape and I have no idea what kind of grapes?
