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

[5Sons Coop]

I have a 10x10 coop that is empty most of the year. Built a sperate one for Cornish cross just cause it is so much easier to have them on there own. It pains me to see it empty 40+ weeks out of the year, but it works so well for them.

Current coop is 12 x 14, I think.

I have the 10x10 for the Cornish another exactly the same split down the middle with turkey and quail and the layers are in a 8x8. I built a little urban coop for breeding, but it ends up being a brooder and sorting station for quail most of the summer.

That surprise early peep when you know it's only day 16 but them peeps are tiny boogers and hatch as they see fit! Serama loves

That is so tiny, so precious, early bird gets the worms.... in experiences, the first one out is usually the worm, rooster!

not me... I'm in trouble when hubby gets home (unless by some miracle he doesn't look in the brooder). I went into tractor supply without adult supervision tonight and these 6 little meaties were all that were left. I couldn't just leave without them! They've made themselves at home already, all stretched out and napping

How come every tractor supply but ours has chicks and ducks!!!?????

Hmmm according to my profile no new ovations since last night....just a little bump in the road or did 1 of my boys adjust my settings for me. I am about as good at IT as an elephant is at brooding.

Elephants brood for 2 years

build it bigger and keep the hay on 1 st story lofting hay sucks. When I build a barn I plan to pull in full hand stacked kicker rakes and unload them as I feed. 2 less times you have to touch a bale is worth a bigger building in my book. But I have worked construction the better part of my life and have full access to a sawmill. Just lack the rest of the $ and my back is shot and the boys backs are not strong enough yet....someday.

Oooh weeee where have you been all my chicken rearing life? I need someone that thinks like you and has the skills to back it up too...
