I just gotta wonder if 'Hubby' knew about all of the long term plans, before this post?

Be sure the heat lamp is very secure, I was told to secure it in at least 3 different ways and don't rely on the clamp!

I agree with Wild. I also do not use the plastic lamp fixtures. I only use the ceramic ones. A heat lamp bulb can get hot enough to melt the plastic and create a fire hazard. The ceramic ones are $9.97 at Tractor Supply and around $12 at Lowes.

Greetings from Greensboro!
Putting the finishing touches on a small coop, and about to start the run. Just waiting for my wonderful neighbor to hatch his eggs. ETA is 03/31/12 I think I may need therapy sessions before I start to plan a birthday party for them.
I just hope I get to see them the first day or so in order to help my neighbor sex them.

Hope everyone in NC is well!

Hi there! Happy to see someone from my area - I'm in Liberty!

Miss Lydia I would be very interested in some(maybe 4)of those ducklings! I am dying for a couple of muscovies! Let me know how much!

The "gals" or whatever they are

Hate to say it, but the 4 facing the camera are all boys.

Questionnn... How do I contact the local Extension Office? Does anyone have that number? I have a LOT of questions to ask them so also what are the hours? Sorry, Google is not loading on my iTouch right now and the computer is in use

I found one turkey egg three weeks ago, and nary another since, until yesterday! And today there is another. I'll put them all in the incubator on the next run, along with the BCM eggs I'll be getting this weekend! Hopefully there will be more to go with them.
