North to Alaska!

Rain in Valdez. Lots of rain...

Do you guys already have snow? Down here close to Homer, still snow free.

We've had a few light dustings but it's warmed up now and rainy. It's been sooooo rainy this fall!

All,

Is there a source for fertile eggs in AK? Probably too late now, but I can start looking.

 

[Alaskan]

It has been crazy rainy down here too!

As to fertile eggs... I don't think they would be hard to find... depending on where you are.

The valley has the best selection.

Facebook is a good resource... or stop by your local feed store and ask.

 

[Alaskan]

And yeah... hatching now?

I’m in Valdez. Tried one local source, but the eggs weren’t fertile after all. Figured there might be something in the Copper Basin area. No Facebook or feed store here

 

[Alaskan]

Yeah.... you might have to wait for spring, and make a run up to Anchorage or the valley... see if any of the feed stores up there carry local fertile eggs... or just grab some chicks.

At the moment I only have one rooster over a mess of hens... so no idea how good he is covering.... also, I am close to Homer.

Thanks. Tried some from a neighbor a few weeks ago and they weren’t good. I’ll keep my eyes open.

Do you have chickens now, and are just wanting to add to the flock? Or... are you trying to start up with chickens?

We have had a few old birds for many years from up country that would have been culled in our high tunnel greenhouse. Great pest control once the plants are bigger. Just looking to build a younger flock.
