EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Phage]

 

they didn't have it so we had them order some

wwe got de and dicodemas eaerth and hand baithed them with it

DE = diatomaceous earth, and it won't kill mites or lice. IMNSHO, it's a huge waste of money! Go back to the store, return what's left of the DE, and get some permethrin powder for the birds.

Is anyone Else having problems with egg production? I have over 25 chickens, and I'm only getting 0-2 eggs a day. I Feed them regularly and I always make sure that they have good water and a clean living condition. Is there something else that I should be doing that will make their egg production rise?

It was like that for me from August to mid October. Here's what I got today.

What kind of nesting boxes do you have setup for your ducks?

I'm trying to decide how to do them for my ducks.

A non flyer like a Pekin can do well with a box or tote on the floor with a three inch lip. A flyer (though mine has never actually flown) like a Muscovy will lay in the chicken boxes about two feet up.
