Whats the closest town to you?I'm not sure how far you are from me, but I have an extra one that you could borrow. I had planned to use it for a hatcher but could live without it for a couple weeks. It's actualy brand new, never used. The old one that I had for sale was just sold or I'd have offered it to you
both towns are about 30-45 minutes from me but I'm always at one or the other for something lol
Now to convince the wife a road trip is needed.........Just let me knowboth towns are about 30-45 minutes from me but I'm always at one or the other for something lol
Are you going to incubate them? I want some of those chicks. If only I had the room in the spring...
My next door neighbor's little boy thinks my yard is a zoo. He has on multiple occasions rang my doorbell to so if he and a friend can come to the backyard to see the chickens. He loves to feed them and always tells me he wants one. Haha. I'm sure his parents would love that! I think I will let him name the next one I get.

Today I found the first 2 Bielefelder eggs!
I'm pretty sure it is just one hen laying and I missed the first one until today.
I ordered parts for the new incubator yesterday, and spent a while today rebuilding shelves in the chick room to hold the incubators and brooders.
Of course they are going into the incubator - I "have" to test their fertility, after all (don't I?). Next time you have a broody hen, I *might* have a few extra BF eggs that need hatching. I have to warn you that the males are quite handsome, you might not be able to let them go to other homes . . .Are you going to incubate them? I want some of those chicks.

I can't imagine putting in that many hours and still having primary responsibility for caring for the animals. You have good lighting in your pens to let you tend them after dark?
