I have built a special roll-away cage for the egg eaters. I am convinced they are not going to be able to eat the eggs.


I got a PC egg and a Dom egg today. I also started building new feeders to try and cut down on waste, I am so tired of throwing out have the feed I buy when I clean the coops.










The following is a video to show how it works. This is an re-enactment no eggs were hurt or killed in the making of this video...

Thinking of names for my Poultry business.

2) Plum Creek Poultry
3) Suggestions?

Got a time lapse video of a chick hatching. He is in the incubator drying off as we speak. Still no Buckeyes hatching only mutts.


And it's time for a really confusing question. So tonight I got a blue chick with a single comb and no feathered legs. Now the only roosters old enough to breed are two Buckeyes and a Barred Roosterr who got butchered. The only birds I can get blue from are my Cochins. But it has no feathered feet. I examined it up and down to find little fluffs but there are none. And it has not head spot like a Barred chick would if it was out of the Barred rooster and no peach if it were out of my Bucks. What the heck is it?

We had it happen to a calf but i saw and was able to pull it out. It's just a poorly designed tank... we were to busy cross fencing this fall to fix it...
