You can make it stronger or really soak the coops to get enough on the roost.

Reading on beesource from some of the master mead makers one said a kinda fresh batch was some of the worst he had. Shoved to the back and forgot about for 5+ years was later an excellent tasting and smooth mead after aging longer. I guess you can try a bottle every year until it's...

Howdy And no. I did several batches of incubating this year just to have some more/enough hens for me. I still have to eat a few more of my roo's.

:bow:celebrate :he:barnie:barnie:eek: I hate to say.... sometimes such is life.

A higher protein, game bird starter/grower crumble could help with a little more weight at a younger age and could help with health of a lot of your larger breeds. I keep saying I'm going to switch but...

Easter egger. Lays green or green/blue eggs. Not a true ameracana or aracana (no I didn't check the spelling first. the point is the same). Just a loose word for that type of breed but not being a true pure breed.

Doing well. Instead of making my own salt electrolyte mix for them I've been adding a small amount of Gatorade mix into the water. Enough for a 12 oz bottle to a gallon of water.

Well hiddy ho. Pull up a chair and a drink. It'll cool off here in a bit. Sometime after August.

Much thanks to you both.

I've been reading this thread and I admit I skipped 20 pages in the middle. I have dark cornish and was thinking of switching to a game type bird for better broodiness and ability to protect themselves from predators, although anything is gone when something gets in the coop at night. I don't...

Apis m pretty well covered it. Short story. Years ago they started foundation with 'larger' cell size to make bigger bee's (closer to drone size) to make bigger bee's to carry more nectar/pollen back. In such making it easier for mites.

:thumbsup I split 2 last week, hope all works out:fl for us both. Don't treat. I never treat. https://bushfarms.com/beesnotreatments.htm R2 said it. Probably starved. I've had it happen not checking on them and ASSumEing they were good. Beesource.com. Can be very opinionated but still a...

We (really she while I'm In Blthyville) fired up the Incubator last week. I need another broody box like my good one. I should probably start another round soon after those hatch out. I'm going to go out on a limb and say we're not incubating as many as you. I lost a couple of broody hens over...

We had 1 tree bloom about 6 weeks ago. I guess I should've posted then, but I wasn't posting anything then. We are getting a decent amount of dandelions for the last month and several other early flowers are blooming nicely now. I planted about an acre of buckwheat a few weeks ago, just as...

Listening to the market last fall, there was a report of the cows sold in/at several select auctions in a 3 month period. It was almost the same number as the previous 3 years combined of the same 3 months. Replacement heifers will bring a pretty penny this year for anybody who could afford to...

Hello NanaKat. I guess I should check in more often, although I don't think I've done any thing much on the internet for months now. I hope your leg is healed by now. I barely got enough hay for the winter after selling stock as well. The pasture is just now getting to be more than enough to...

I did a little inspection yesterday. They are not looking strong. I never took any honey and started feeding a little in Sept and they perked right up. I was gone Aug-early Sept. I know that's late, but I thought they were built up enough after the spring feeding. I'm still feeding. Been in a...

Pizza is a healthier breakfast than most breakfast cereals. How do you think anybody made it through college. I must not have had enough pizza.

If you haven't done so yet (or your already beeking) it's time to read. Grab some beginner bee keeping books. Beekeeping for dummies, the practical Beekeeper etc... And I'd do a hive inspection just to make sure they really do have honey to get them through the winter and you can get an...
