Well.. I cant believe it's been a year and almost 9 months since we threw this forum together. Now we have 100,000 views. "I feel so special"
LOL, not really but love you guys anyway.

If I remember correctly he said he would send the winner 3-3 nipple bucket setups and everyone else 3 nipples if we hit 100,000 before the end of the year.

Would I be right about that Hannah?

Not exactly, LOL
But I will bring a bunch to the Newport show for real cheap. I am hoping that TSC still has that bucket bundle so I can save a couple bucks on those also. But I'll bring just the nipples as well if anyone has a different design in mind

We actually found a supplier outside the US for pretty cheap and they look like they are made the same but I already had the order into the US supplier when I found out about the others. The good news is though that they have come down again in price I just found out. I paid $1.43 each after shipping this time. Next time if I decide to try the Chinese supplier, they will get a bit cheaper. If the buckets are not on sale that puts my actual cost at a few cents under 10 dollars for a 3 nipple 2 gallon bucket. Not bad at all considering avian aqua miser thinks they can get 60.00 for the same thing, LOL they must think we are fools?

@CONTRASTPHOTO

YOU WIN

I will bring your nipples to the Newport show (hmm, that did not sound right?)

To prove I am not as cheap as I thought, I am even going to attach them to a nice bucket for you

LOL

I have been wanting to do nipples... but I'm uncertain how to do it in some coops. I'd love a PVC set up for my quad coop... it's 4 coops in one building.

Agh, anywho. It is too late to think.


HELLO NEW PEOPLE!!!

 

[TNBarnQueen]

Yes and a very good price I think. I have got to get going on those hoop coops so I can be more flexible with breeding.
Speaking of that... I go into lock down on Thursday.

how funny....I was just getting ready to make one! That is all my cousin uses for his chickens. They easy to make...easy to move and very economical pricewise in making.

 

[TNBarnQueen]

Speaking of new folks....Yes of course and welcome. I hope you read fast though, we can be pretty active. LOL

Big DITTO!!

Oh I'm fairly pleased with my latest hatch that I took out this morning.

I set 29 eggs on 10-1
Dominecker Eggs Set 13, of that 6 were not fertile leaving 7, out of 7 only 4 hatched.
This is the first time I have tried to hatch off these. I think the rooster may be a little young yet.

Rhode Island Red Set 7 all fertile hatched 6.

Lavender Orps Set 9 all fertile hatched 8.

Really pleased with the Red's and the Lav's.
A little disappointed with the Dom's.

Will set another batch 11-1. Hopefully better luck on the Dom's.
Also setting some French Black Copper Marans this time.
Not sure of the Reds this round.
