guess they're calling for another 8 to 16 inches of snow overnight tonight...at least in the loveland/ft collins area. lol. The kids are going to love it. The chicks/hens not so much

I still have no brooder - my chicks should be here within a week.

I really hope I don't end up keeping them in my tub!!

Anybody on here plan on traveling to or through Reno, Nevada any time soon?

I have a partial trip arranged for some birds/eggs coming from Wisconsin and need the rest of it planned. Any takers? Please send me a PM.

FrogEggs-you can quickly make one out of cardboard or plastic storage bins (which we used). The plastic bin worked great but mine are getting very crowded now at 6 weeks.

Can't wait to hear updates!

Just get a big old box or rubbermaid type tub. Nothing fancy but they work fine.

Where are you? I work at Big R in receiving in Elizabeth. I could watch for large boxes. We get some good size boxes . I could post when I get one.

This must be the day for large eggs. 90.8 gram egg laid today by one of my RIR. This is the largest one we have gotten from them so far. It is sitting next to one of my cochin eggs. The lid wond shut on the egg carton. This one must have hurt.Sure wish I would have been home to hear that egg song. LOL

I use a stock tank like that but smaller. I put old window screens across the top, the crisscross 2 X 4's and put the light on the 2X4's. Works great. You can move the screens easily to reach in to change water etc.
How many chicks are you getting?
