I just bought a sportsman 1270 incubator which is a few years old.. It was modified with all kinds of upgrades... I have the manual here and it talks about the auto turner setup and levelling etc but each time I go to take a look the trays are all tilted to the left.. I have made it turn the...

So we have breeding pens of royal palm, eastern wild, black spanish and bourbon red.... everyone has been laying for about 3 weeks except the bourbon red. Obviously its not the feed or time of year... does anyone have some thoughts of what may be her issue.... she is supposed to be a couple of...

No issues, I do that too... no one really identified the beige one or the two brown one's either... once again pretty but not what I ordered. The beige one has beautiful colouring.

Quote: Definately not a barred rock anything, they aren't barrs at all given what I have seen of a real barred rock ... I took him to a breeder I trust and the best they could get out of him was a mix of some sort (can't remember). He is still hanging around... massive sweet boy, don't have...

Quote: Or even... wow that is a big funny looking chicken isn't it! Or... geez who dropped that off, people should be ashamed... But SJ's right ... appeal to the belly, works on my Simon every time (not that I consult him on these things very often.. thereby the two pregnant sheep, ram lamb...

agreed... strange. Were there any feathers about which would indicate anything strange?

yes that's right, as Robin stated above. Its no different than any other critter though my hooves beasts can't fly!... they need to become used to their new home.

My blue slate toms follow me everywhere... love the tom turkeys. When they were younger they would be on the wrong side of the fence... even across the road on occassion but always came back, the eastern wild when to a neighbour past our site line and needed to be retrieved... they could care...

that's easy enough, one of the guys on my job site also works on the dock yards unloading the grain carriers... I get 1/2 ton's full or corn, soya bean .. barley. Cheap and the pigs, goats and sheep all love it, come to think of it that's why the turkeys and geese yell for some when going by as...

Quote: Interesting, it was the breeder who told me that! Mine are coming as chicks this year so it worries me not anyway but its odd she should say that if its not the case.

I was told that if you didn't raise them from chicks they won't ever bond to their coop and will try and return "home". If you have had them since babies I would sit and listen... like robin said perhaps something scared them?

Quote: Island?... nope! Nova Scotia has 55 thousand square kilometers.... its 7 times the size of Rhode Island and about 60% the size of Florida and has quite an urban upbeat population.... now Prince Edward Island which is just off NS is another thing So enough of the geography lesson I...

spanish black (even blacks) are very rare around the maritime provinces... I agree it seems fairly steep but I suppose if you look at it from an availability standpoint... We paid 100 for a breeding trio of Royal Palms and blue slate poults were 20. each! I won't mind so much if we can get a...

well since I am usualy the buyer... I bought a breeding trio at 200+++ eggs per year so I asked my Simon to get a phone number and clarify! Seems odd to me but he (the current but second owner) obviously bought them and hasn't bred them... we got a phone number so will clarifty but hope others...

My simon wants to buy a breeding pair of black spanish turkeys...... the gentleman said the hen laid 30 eggs last season but its hard to get info on these birds... guy says the birds are 2 years old and he wants 100. a bit high in our area but very rare so not odd if they lay as expected...

Quote: that!
