Hi!
whats new on the pea farm?

Not much... Just hatched out the last two eggs, and I'm trying to sell a bunch of older chicks. Had a large female Muscovy duck die in a strange way, so gonna necropsy her tomorrow and see if I can find a cause.


What's new at your place? How you feeling?

just wanted to let you both know:
I visited the Legg web site again and he is raising both large and bantam cochin , Large cochin in 20 varieties, I don't know where some people get all the energy, he must have 30 peafowl varieties, amazing

Good to know both can be used. Mine large ones never went broody, but maybe that's because they were hatchery stock?

Would love to see his place some day.

So is anyone going to remind a certain someone about candling and why it shouldn't be done every five minutes?

5 should be good for a first attempt at raising them.

That's a drop in the Tyson bucket. Perhaps a couple weeks' production from one of their processing facilities.
Some modern facilities produce nearly 20,000 tons of poultry meat a year.
Cargill is building a facility in Russia that will supply all the McDonald's restaurants in Russia. It will produce 18,000 metric tons a year.

That's the way I feel about all eggs. You know this already.
I remember when I was a kid, I was told that a chicken had to fight its way out of the shell on its own or it wouldn't survive. The effort makes it strong.

It was 94 a couple days less than a week ago. Today it won't make it to 70. What a relief.

Good luck. How many eggs will you be putting in?

Nice fish. How did he kill them?

Some mild steel square or round rod would probably be better than threaded unless you need the threads for nuts or something.

That's great. A LG is all I've used since the first of May. I now have about 70 chicks and adolescents as a result of hatching constantly. It wasn't always easy. Lots of temp spikes that I know killed plenty of embryos.

If the AC is running in the house (dry air), I usually fill them all and then don't add water again till lockdown when I fill them all again. If AC isn't running, I only fill 1 or 2 till the end. I always fill them all on day 19.
However, I weigh the eggs and keep track of weight loss. If it is on track, I don't worry about humidity again.


What kind?


In a perfect world that is so true.

My condolences to your country and the world at large on the loss of Shimon Peres.
I heard it a couple hours ago.

Usually it means they're content.

a chocolate Easter egger and speckled Sussex and I'm getting 6 ayam cimani eggs.he killed them by leaving them outside in a tube last winter with no heater instead of putting them back in there tank.
