I used to like you and now you bring this up !!!!! LOL. Yeah they do make a ton of $$$$ but their fan's need to read the book........ How to be a fan for dummy's LOL. Dallas would be a good team if they had some decent fan's who know how to be true fan's.

Never been Dallas fan, Liked Staubauch, but nothing else. Can"t stand their owner. I haven't had a team since Marino retired.

Good to hear it LOL, may I suggest you pick the Bears as your new team.........

i had lg bators to start with , but now i have a sportsman 1502 and im lovin it ..... it totally increased my hatch rate


Kathy -- i talked to frank reese about the barred rocks and they are not selling any stock this year , but i got ahold of another breeder and ill be getting eggs from him to replace my roo i lost that i got from jeremy .... i ended up loosing 1 pullet and the cockerel , so i have 1 pullet left from jeremy , darn weather ......

and i am about overrun with coronation sussex now lol , i have 22 chicks , 32 more eggs in the bator , and a trio of pure coronations , and 1 light split roo and 4 light split hens .... got two eggs today... 1 pure coronation and 1 split



joe - i think the breathing issue is from the weather nothing problematic for my girls , but i think the anitbiotics will help out
 
Lynn the hatchery is Country Hatchery they are located in Wewoka ,OK they do have a web site its www.countryhatchery.net I havent figured out how to show what you wrote at the heading of my message to whose question im replying to... maybe someone could give me a hand since im a computer dummy... thanks
 
Al on the side of the bator there are two dial type thermometers, the one near the front of the bator is the temp if I read the instructions right and the one nearer the center of the bator is the hygrometer and on the inside of the dial therm that is the hygr is a cloth tube like sock that covers the probe and hangs directly down into the tub of water under it, the tub sets directly in front of the fan and it blows across the tub and probe. Does this help explain it? I hope I am doing it right, this is what it has read since I started it up. Was wondering if I should take the sock tube off the probe to get a better true reading of the air temp/humidity??? Lynn

Quote:

Lynn : What type of Hygrometer is it ??. I am confused a little on the sock and why is it in the water. That humidity is way to high and you are running the risk of drowning the embryos. The hygrometer should have a prob on it attached to a long wire, that prob should be in some sort of water wiggler or a plastic bag shaped into one with the probe.

ok, here is the post- really amazing
I just had to post this.......I had no idea a hen would do this!

We do not have a rooster. When we first got chickens, a nice lady down the street gave us 2 of her old laying hens. She said these hens were smart, and would show our new chickens the "ropes". We lost Sue to a hawk attack last year. Yes, she lost her life standing up to a hawk so the others could get inside. That left Sam. Sam is our head chicken. She bosses the younger chickens around. Sounds the predator alarm and in general is in charge.

Yesterday, my husband got home from errands and heard noises in the hen house. He opened the door to find Sam "poofed" to twice her normal size, pecking and jumping a small oppossum that had gotten into the house. She had done serious damage to this oppossum!! The other chickens-all 15 of them, were up on perches, not scared, just watching Sam......taking care of business.

My husband dispatched the oppossum, but we were amazed. We had no idea that our docile, Sam chicken could be such a warrior. She was covered in blood, but when my husband cleaned her off, we realized none of it was hers....it was all oppossum blood.

Anyone else hear of such a thing? We are certain she would have killed it herself, if my husband had not arrived home when he did!

We are so proud of her. She is old, and not laying as well as she should be, but we have decided she just earned herself a permenant retirement home---no noodle pot for her.​
