Hi,
I'm from Gainesville, Mo. Right in between Norfolk and Bull Shoals lakes. Love it, love it, love it!

 

[misschickenlittle]

to everyone new!

So, I think I broke the chicken addiction laws... Went to Orscheln this evening and came home with zero, yes that's right. zero chicks, even though they had Auracaunas and Polish... I think I'll be going back Friday. The only, and I truly mean the only, reason I didn't bring an home was because I don't have a brooder place set up! But by Friday.... Oh, I think I can!

Teddi, I would love to take your eggs off your hands but there again, no incubator...

Want to hatch them for me?

 

[teddiliza]

All the more reason to buy an incubator, dear miss chicken little. Come on, you are surrounded by enablers!

 

[misschickenlittle]

You are so right, Teddi! The other day I printed off someone's plans for a homemde incubator and my DH saw them... he said "Oh, I suppose you want me to build you an incubator now, huh?" me - "Yes, but first I need a brooder." him - "What's a brooder?"

He's so not educted on chicken lingo! So I explained it to him and he promtly came up with ideas on how and where to build one... YEA!!!

Of course, we have lots of other necessities to take care of first... like a new washing machine! UGH!!!!!!!!! I've been without a washing machine for about a month now... How do people live without one?!?!?! I'd be

every day! Oh wait... I already am.

Has anyone ever been to the small animal auction in Holden, MO? I've read about it but never been. I was wondering how well the chickens sell there and how much money I can get off the chickens/chicks I am wanting to cull...

Advise is appreciated...

Oh yes Misschickenlittle, You must build an incubator. I built one from plans on here and it worked great! I bought a little giant but still occassionally use the one I built. They are cheap and easy to build with a styrofoam cooler. My brooder is a large plastic tote with a lid, I cut out a section in the top and put screen on it and hooked a light fixture on the side with a piece of plywood under to keep it from melting the side. I have 2 of these one is small for smaller hatches and then a large one. I got a huge copy machine box from the local office supply shop that I am going to use for an even larger brooder.

When I built my incubator money was tight and my other half wasn't really into this chicken thing that I was addicted to so I needed something cheap.

Now I can do pretty much anything I want because we are both addicted!

Never been to this auction but if it is anything like the one in Keytesville you can sometimes get decent $ for you birds. It just depends who is there buying.

Check it out an let us know what it is like.

It's funny you mentioned the plastic tote... I saw one when I came home and thought, "Hmmmm, maybe I could use one of those...." Guess I can! Oh, and I also just remembered my neighbor has an incubator and offered to hatch some BO babies from their flock this spring... So, maybe, I can talk them into adding a few d'uccles...
