Anyone in WV???

That looks so pretty! You will get some nice chickens outta that bunch! I can't wait to see pics! I don't have an egg turner. I turn mine manually 3 to 5 times a day. But I enjoy it. I have 12 ameracauna eggs cooking now. I only got six from the coup today. Girls are slacking a bit. Was getting 9 out of 9 hens!


I thought about doing that but I'm scared I'd forget.... I want to get the new egg Turner where they lay in their sides and they roll it! I'm scared to drop the temp a bunch when turning and messing with the humidity so much.... Ugh! Idk what to do :/ I didn't have great luck with the silkies but Idk why, the air cells seemed to move to the side!

Well, the way I look at it, the broody hen gets off them every day to eat and poop, and the temp goes down then. So it seems more natural to me. I've never hatched a chick tho. Lol. I'm home ALWAYS, so manually turning them works for me. I sorta enjoy turning them...so far. Lol.
 
Let me talk to hubby about it :) how many do you think? Some place was offering 100 roosters for 100 bucks


100 sounds good. Lol. How many in your family? I want to buy a food sealer too. We can both use it to freeze them. This would be so cool and we can save money doing it ourselves. Poor DH...killing all those chickens. Lol. Farm raised chicken is expensive to buy! And I hate buying factory chicken. They treat them so bad.
 
Do the solar lights have less of a chance of causing a fire? I worry running electricity out there!

Ohhhh Russian blue

Where can you get sand at? I'm from the desert, we didn't have to buy sand lol we had to buy and water our grass.... Totally different works for me!
The whole reason I got solar lights is because I will not run electricity to my coop. They recharge their batteries during the day and then automatically come on at night.enough light to do a head check and to give the girls a bit of a night light. but yeah practically no fire issues.

did my own last year the husband actually wielded the ax and mother is a darling with processing them but we do it as a family thing, bought a few red rangers this year and I have a ton of roos from the eggs I hatched. Food sealers are awesome. my parents got one and we used it on the deer they killed this year.

I'll talk to him when he gets back :) he's in Alabama this week :/ we would need to buy a deep freezer too, no way they're fitting in a normal freezer lol it depends on the week, any where from 2-5 of us. We have 50% custody, and sometimes his brother that lives pretty much behind us with their dad, eats here too.
I agree! And the nasty stuff they put in them!
