Thanks!
a neat thing about Wheaten Marans - you can easily sex them at 2 weeks! Males have Dark Black feathers.
a mostly male batch I hatched out a while back:
Hmm i'm not sure what's wrong with the picture thingie.... I'll try again:
I'll post the other feeder I'm working on when it's finished.
Edit:
someone messaged me asking if it was adjustable, yes it is! The canister is attached by a threaded rod and it can be lowered or raised to adjust...
If you have a broody hen, might as well place some eggs under her amIrite?
born day-before-yesterday, Wheaten Marans, sold 'em before they were born, buyer picks them up in two weeks.
Thanks for the compliments!
I never got around to putting in a back hatch for the feed. The hen house floor is hinged though. When you're ready to wheel the coop to another area, you just move the latch and the bottom drops down, spilling out the pine shavings and poop to fertilize your...
Ok! PM me. I still have my patterns!
Yeah,
the problem is I really have to put some time into them. The material comes to about $200.

I have 24 Wheaten marans
I have 24 Wheaten Marans in the incubator due to hatch on tomorrow. Two hatched last night and 4 hatched this morning! I don't even have the brooder cleaned out and set up yet!
Runaway,
is it possible to sex a Lav Orp chick ?
The first time, I tried growing it in a pan first and laying it down like sod. It didn't work very well. I used millet that time and I don't think it liked the shade. This time i just covered the little bit of earth in the box with a layer of wheat seed and then I hardly covered the seed...
I thought I'd share a few pictures of the grazing bed I made in my main coop. I put it right next to the sides to discourage perching/pooping on it. Since it's always in the shade, wheat seems to be the best crop to grow in it right now. I probably made it too high, but I read somewhere the...
