Congrats on your hatch! Thank you, he seems to be doing a bit better, he (or she) is a little wobbly still, but he stands just fine, both feet under him, and he's pecking at the food a little. I was looking to wrong positions in the egg, and I think his issue hatching might have been that his...

Hey, can someone give me a little advice? I am hatching out my own chicks this year, instead of buying them, and so far everything has gone fairly smoothly. I've had an 80% (give or take) hatch rate. Not bad for my first try I think, but the newest chick had a very hard time hatching, it took...

Hello. I've been offline for a while, so I have no idea what's been going on on the thread, but I was wondering if anyone near Harvey-county has any hatching eggs for sale.

At least I can sympathize with the arthritis. My ankles have been one constant pain for the last three days. I was seven weeks preemie and some of my joints never developed properly. I have had arthritis in my ankles since I was 5 years old, and in my right wrist since I was 11. That's part of...

I am so sorry to hear that. It was hard enough for me to manage two little boys and my little farm by myself, I can't imagine caring for an injured loved one at the same time. Kodo's to you for managing it, that's strength. The V.A. has always done well by my Dad, lets hope that they do well by...

That is a relief, to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't actually read everything. I always feel bad about it though. ...but....but captive audiances are so much fun! My alergies have been bad this year, I think it's just a bad year for respritory systems everywhere. My youngest has...

Wow, this thread moves fast, either that or I don't have the time to check it as often as I would like. Thanks Danz, The temp in the incubator did spike to 103 for most of one night not quite a week ago because someone (a.k.a. my fiance) set his shirt on top of it without thinking about it when...

I know I haven't been on for a while. I decided to take some of my eggs and try to hatch them. It's just a makeshift incubator, a toat, with a towel on the bottom, a 60W lightbulb and a thermometer (and a spunge, for humidity) I put a dozen eggs in around the 15th of august and two of them are...

The watery ones with the broken yolks are in a hard shell. I have four that are about 18 months old, and sixteen that are right around a year old. The only ones coming out without a shell are the eggless yolks.

In the last two days I have gotten several eggs from my girls that are very watery and the yolk seems to already be broken. Twice one of my hens has laid a broken yolk with nothing else, just "sploop" yolk, nothin else, then all the chickens start eating the yolk, so I know it was yolk, not thin...

Hey, I found some Australorps and some Easter Eggers, ten months old, I was wondering, how long should I keep them confined to the coop? The last time I got got more chickens I got five new girls, and I only kept them cooped for two days, they followed the rest of my hens back into the coop at...

Very few of my rabbits were for show. I had two males, one New Zeland (flawed I guess, something to do with his ears) and one very oddly colored Californian. The Californians I would sell to 4h, but any that weren't sold as babies were dressed out and put in the freezer. I usually had about...

I used to have a rabbit farm in Michigan. 32 rabbits in total (not incuding any current litters, just the breeders). They were all just fine out in the winter. I had New Zeland, California Giant, Lop, Dutch, and some hollands. They did just fine in 30 below zero with a nice thick layer of straw...

Deleted, since I can't figure out how to delete the post. Thanks everyone.

Fishing net? *chuckles* I've done it before.

Orpingtons are actually on my list. I went through all the breeds of chickens that I could find, writing down qualities (good and bad) and made a list of birds I would like to see in my flock. I am actually rather young, only 26 (yesterday as a matter of fact ^_^) I hope to breed in egg laying...

Brocolli is one of the things I grew in a small bed last year, it did wonderfully, I put it under a small tree where it was shaded from about 11 to three-ish. it seems to do well when you can put it somewhere where it avoids the direct sun when it's overhead, but still gets morning and evening...

Punctuation saves lives! Example: "Time to eat kids!" - "Time to eat, kids!"

Hi, my name is Kasey. I'm new to this site (kind of, I made a profile a while back, but never really had the time to look around) I live in Harvey county and I have been looking for somewhere to be able to talk with like-minded people, ask questions, compair notes, that kind of thing. I...

Well, it's getting cold here, and while I have not seen a drop in egg production like I was expecting, the eggs have gotten smaller. is that normal?
