    Separating Broody Hen & Chicks

    Do you have a temporary nest box you can attach to a dog crate like this? I set these up when I have not enough brooders under the poop boards. I wait til she comes off the nest for her daily, and either move the nest box or move the eggs. When she comes back I direct her where I want her to...

    Quality control showed up and noticed the scratch bucket was a little heavy. I don't think the lid would've snapped on without their help... And yep, blurry pics are back. That's a welcome change.

    Two heat exhaustion deaths in a month

    I don't have the heat you southerners do but a couple things I do that may help. Fans.... Alot of fans. Especially facing the hot nest boxes. I put box fans in the windows at night and if any windows are in direct sun that fan is in during the day I turn it to exhaust out. Another fan intake on...

    They should feather out like these.... The main purpose of these 2 experimental hatches is adding Solo's Type, low tail and much smaller combs. The slight sacrifice in copper I can breed back in.

    W/W hatched 5 yesterday. Just got her moved over to her brooder and took some pics. These are 5 more Kong x Solo. Males will be dirty dish water gold/silver leakage. Females are basically pure BCMs with a possible slight sacrifice in copper.
