Back to the regularly scheduled poultry talk

I would love to spare a few feed bag totes for the raffle! Let me know when you need donations by and I'll check with our York county group of keepers! ^^
Yay! It was great meeting you yesterday!

Oh thank you so much Kiomey! Won't need anything until early October, deadline the 10th if I am picking up, or if someone is coming to the show, they can bring along and we will add the donation to the raffle table. You guys rock!

I wish, seems when i want chicken for myself, I have to settle for old rooster,,,hubby says the customer comes first, we get what's left

Wing, maybe I'll bring you an extra Dorking cockerel for you to butcher for yourself to see how it tastes?? I can't be a butcher, my extras just go to Green Dragon...

I think you need to re-name your farm to "Camp Kenmore"....boot camp for wayward Cornish......

Ok guys. We managed to drag ourselves up off our butts and out of this gloomy house to work on the coop again. We're on the last wall frame and it's the one with the door for the chickens to go in and out. We have a few scrap pieces of wood that we were thinking of using up but we need to make sure it'll be big enough. Is an 11" x 16" Good enough size for them to go in and out?

I usually do 12x12 for chicken & 24x24 for turkey & geese. Ducks can make do with 18x18 unless you have a huge scovy drake who needs the 24x24.

I never measured my entrance, just eyeballed it. I should measure today, I isn't tell if my Australorp is huge or if she is just older than the rest!

I finally got the little stinkers. I couldn't take it anymore.

I just candled! The embryos look like "put in water to grow" animals you buy at the dollar store! They've about tripled in size from yesterday! They were just doing somersaults in the eggs! There were two very dark, porous-ish eggs that I had. I marked them and a green egg with a penciled X 3 days ago because they were my undecided, wait-and-see eggs. The two dark ones both have big, healthy, kicking embryos inside! The green was clear.

I'm just so excited 14/15 eggs are viable.

*not counting my chickens before they hatch*

Best of Luck!

Meadville, PA here!  Let me know if you're local 

Welcome to the fun!

Just candled my eggs..... still have 25 chicken eggs developing! I have four duck eggs in there doing great also! I am so glad I bought the fan assembly for my gator, it has helped so much in keeping the temps correct.

. You go girl!

Yeppers, just got back in....its raw out there...and I have gotten my peas in on St Pat's day for years....it will be a challenge this year...I still have some patches of frozen ground and after today it'll be getting colder.....

My raised beds still had a layer of ice underneath the straw. So I will be starting seeds inside soon. . I have tons so Jerusalem Artichokes (Sunchokes) stored in the beds, and if I can't get them out before spring, I will be overrun with them!

so how many country boys do we have on here??? .....and I couldn't help it sally, this one is worth it...

Can you PM it to me?
