Hi, I can check tonight. I have gotten from what appears to be the same pullet. I also had another last night from a different hen (different box and color).

Howdy Dax.....you good?

hello! Check them in a day or two. Not sure where ur questions r at

Oh, sorry, didn't mean to be confusing. I just meant, I am "questioning" myself about them due to their appearance. Didn't really have a question to ask yet, but I am going to take pictures in a couple days and see where they are.

I figured that out after I re-read the instructions, but I bet many people will use 2 tablespoons of the powder instead. What I'd like to know is what is the shelf-life of the stock solution? Since the pack weighs 453.5 grams and makes 129 gallons (if you read it literally), the per gallon dose is 3.52 grams per gallon. The powder probably weighs about 3 grams per teaspoon, so the per gallon dose is 1.17 teaspoons. Check my math and let me know if that looks okay. -Kathy

Your math works out IMO. I wonder if there's a purpose behind making a solution first and then using part of the solution to dose the daily water.

Hey all

Staying high and dry?

I do want size especially over the tiny leghorns. Rory has meat on his bones at least.

In that case go with the best size rooster. Legbars aren't that much heavier than leghorns are they? A leghorn cockerel should go 5 or 6 lbs. My point was primarily that if crossing, color doesn't matter at all. What color eggs are you getting from your legbar hens? Have you considered a cross with araucana or ameraucana?

e Lets see... I'll get Serama CCL Sultan Polish Welsh Harlequin Call Cayuga OEGB Brahma Aussie spotted Ameraucana- some bantam, Black, Blue, Splash, and lav/self blue for colors EE Mutts NN BLRW LO Cochin Sussex Araucana Marans Salmon favs Ancona Houdan Hamburg Sebright La fleche Ayam Cemani Isabelle Leghorn Olandsk Dwarf Orust SFH To name a few......

I only see 2 Mediterranean breeds on your list.

Hi yall this is the second night that my chickens are in their coop

So they are safe out there?

Hi, yes I ran off to ride my horse. It was the first time in the eighties in forever. Then I gave shots to my quarantined goats, did chores, and now I am milking. While it is humid it is a beautiful 75.

Really cool here too - considering it is August. 72 this morning but 95% humidity.

[@=/u/151473/casportpony]@casportpony[/@]Kathy, what is wrong? For the second night one of my pullets layed a pullet sized egg with blood on it.

That's a lot of blood but unless it continues I wouldn't be concerned. Probably a split right inside the cloaca.

If my marriage were intact, I would have a horse for Duckling. A pony is a waste of time. She would outgrow it too soon.

How about a Welsh pony.

I just think that a horse should not be traded from person-to-person. They deserve to have one owner to love them and to love in return.

Good point. Like selling adult parrots.

Did you tried to ride a camel? I can assure you that it is one if the funniest ride you will have!

Haven't had the pleasure. How about an elephant.

Speakin of bators, I've been having a funny problem w/ mine...... I just plain can't get the temp above 98. I turned it nearly a whole turn up (slowly, over a few days) but notta, still at 98.... Turned it down in case I was being stoopid..... The temp went down. This is on all three thermometers. Might the wafer disk be not working? I have measurement level set a bit high, so I think the eggs are okay, (they feel like they have a 99.5 internal temp) but I like to run higher as last time I had late hatches.

How old is your wafer? Is it a homemade incubator?

not the darkest of eggs, but quality looks

IMHO, if not selecting for egg color, they're not worth having. A few years ago I bought 3 varieties of Marans eggs that were supposed to be from famous lines of Marans. The eggs weren't dark at all. About the color of JG eggs. I'd rather have Jersey Giants if the eggs aren't going to be dark.

I didn't know they made pens that big.

This clip is for all the hunters out there

That was interesting. Never heard of it before. From this picture, before I started playing the video, I thought the guy was a rabbi.

He certainly have the look!

Cut shells is an old poaching trick....people use it during bird season to harvest illegal deer.
