"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[Ron Skekel]

My uncle is soon to start the whole chicken buissness again (he used to raise chickens, not particularly knowing mucch about the breeds) and I was wondering if anybody had chicks 0-3 weeks old for a low price? I will raise them to a couple months old at my house. We need about 15, give or take depending on how many you could sell. Thanks!

I have some mixed breeds I'll sell cheap. Pam

No I don't think I can say it fast three times! Lol! I can hardly get it out one time. they are another rare breed from Germany. Big beautiful birds gentile like Biefelders.i have Lemon coukoo Niederrheiners. Seems like German breeds are named after the town they are from.

Those are some Georgeous birds!

I have decided to plunge into incubating some eggs from my hens.for those who incubate eggs, how high do you aim for your humidity to be? I have read posts where some recommend 40-45%, 50-55, 60-65 up to day 18 then up to 70%. What has worked for yall here in Louisiana?

Flock of Hens, where are you located? I'm Baton Rouge and have a good bit of eggs in the incubator. There are black old english, mixed bantams, silver laced wyandottes, barnyard mixes, and black copper marans in there right now.

I am also in the baton rouge area. I will PM you.

Dry hatch 30% or whatever it is in the incubator with no water added witch can be higher. It will go down as you go. I have had hatch that never went quite that low due to our humidty. I bring it 40 to 50 on day 18. I have done mine higher but get better results with it lower. I also move my eggs around in case of hot or cold spot in the incubator. Pam
