And how many will this house?   Fabulous job.    

It can house up to 30 birds.when my chicks that I have ordered come I'll have 21. Some are straight run so might not keep all of them. I ordered 2 roosters hopefully I'll get lucky and only those two will be roosters.

Just one kind or a bunch? I have white rocks, golden comets, and delawares and I think I'm going to breed just white rocks next year. Hopefully I can get some good ones.

HI, I know this is off topic but does anyone know of a place in Shreveport/Greenwood area for rent, that allows chickens, cats, dogs, and 4 people? I've just been given notice that the "new" owner wants us out so he can "fix the place and then rent it" Shoot! Anyway just thought I'd reach out to some one here since I've had no luck using the standard channels, and everyone here loves chickens, lol.

Good Tuesday morning peeps!

CackedNut I know you have Golden Polish.

These 2 little hens I have are giving me a bit of a hard time. They have been raised right along side of a half dozen other breeds, 9wks old now. They are the most skittish of any of the chicks. WAY worse than any of the others. The Columbian Wyandottes were also, but never as bad as the Polish. The Columbians are coming out of it though, finally. But these Polish act like we are taking them straight to the killing cone if we even get our hands close to them, let alone pick them up (which we do anyway). Now their tophats are getting bigger we actually have an easier time picking them up because they don't always see us coming. But they still act nutty. I am going to trim a couple of feathers so they can see a bit better today. I think its better right now for them to see what's coming at them. But I am wondering if it is maybe just the McMurray line of Golden Polish that act this way????? Or is it all Golden Polish? Is it something they can be encouraged to grow out of? We have been working on all the chicks to keep them calm when we are around and with our hands close. We spend time feeding goodies and touching/holding the chicks that love it. It encourages the others to come close and they are all doing really well...........except for those 2 Polish. I got those 2 strictly for self indulgence. I admit it.

They obviously could have nothing to do with what my husbands aim is for us to start a new journey in breeding for dual purpose birds. Lol! These cuties are challenging me, but I won't give up!

There are so many reasons that I like our flock to be handled. Health checks and such. But even when I go and work around them, if they are all cool with it to a reasonable degree, that helps to avoid injuries from birds acting nutty because they are freaking out about a person being in their space.

Hi! 1st hatch here... Is anyone from North LA that is currently incubating? My humidity is staying between 30 and 40% with no added water. My air cells seem to be doing what they should (as far as I can tell lol)

Is this pretty normal? I figured I would be adding water!!!

I have used a medicine cup with water on a few days to increase but that is all and I would just set the cup in the bator until the humidity started to rise above 35 and then take it out.

Just curious.
