Southern Bee Lady right, get a hot wire up.

An electric fence is not hard to put up. Just make sure you get a good ground rod. I use electric fences around my beeyards to stop bears. That is a little more complicated to do so a simple wire around the coop/run is easy.

Not sure if found any dom eggs but my friend has a bunch of doms. I could ask her for eggs. How many do you want? Are you in the upstate? Ok I see you got hooked up! I just did not read far enough!! Red bug I love the babies. I bought some marans last week(born on my birthday) and I have some in the batot due to hatch this week. My last two hatches were a bust.

Any suggestions on how to get my humidity up? I have soaked paper towels in the water troughs of the lg and wadded up wet paper towels in there. It is at 58%. That is as high as I have been able to gt it. Should I just keep adding wet paper towels?

Update on my flock: we are now living out in Trenton, SC. I had a recent security breech and lost my best Dominique hen to a possum. Also my second clutch of ducklings (Ancona) are growing like weeds.

I need some Dom hatching eggs and want to get started in Dorkings. Anyone know where I can get some hatching eggs?

Hey y'all!!! OMG it's been over A YEAR since I've been on BYC. Well 1 new baby, 1 new house, and 1 new job later here I am! Delighted to be back and hoping to get my new coop built next month so I can fill it with more lovlies. And yes, I still want a turkey. And BLRWs. And more silkies. But no more guineas. Definitely not guineas.

Several months ago we bought 3 big chickens and 1 little chicken at a livestock sale as our first ever chickens. Since then, we've figured out that the bigs are two BO, 1 Australorp but little yellow chicken is still a mystery. She's my 6 year old's chicken- he picked her cause yellow is his favorite color and named her Buttercup. All 3 bigs have been giving us eggs for a while but never Buttercup. We thought maybe she was old and didn't lay any more, which isn't a big issue for us. But today...

A little white egg!

Our first calf was born on the farm today, a little spunky heifer! I think we'll call her Valentine.

Our other cow is due very soon as well.
Also, I have silkie eggs pipping! Today is just a great day for new life, apparently!
