Custom vinyl decals! I can make about anything, so message me if you would like something that you do not see. Message me with any questions!
Thank you for looking, have a nice day
I am a college student and I had to give up chickens when I moved away to school. I started making these...
I have shipped eggs spring-fall with a good hatch rate. I wrap the eggs individually in bubble wrap, and pad the box with shredded newspaper.
I have seen some people offer heat packs for eggs being shipped this time of the year. What type of heat packs are these? The only think I've come across...
We have decided to build hoops for our raised bed gardens to keep the chickens out. Has anyone done this and have pictures? I would love to see what people have done that works.
We have free range guineas (I am just assuming they are french guineas but I am not entirely sure). I am considering adding a few Jumbo guineas to the flock. Will the two breed together? Are there any considerable differences other than the size? I have read a few places that they cannot fly as...
I would love to get mine into the coop at night, but they are pretty wild and don't want to go back into the coop. I would think they would follow the chickens in at night, but they do not.
Yes! We had a very hard time finding their nests (actually our dogs find them first). But that is good...
We have had guineas on and off for many years but haven't had much success with them free ranging. We have them to keep bugs down as well as snakes. They do not roost high enough to stay away from predators. And they come up onto our porch all the time and make a mess.
I have kept our guineas...
Well then I guess your a bit a head of me! haha
My new incubator will be much bigger than the LG, so your right. It may take too long for it to heat back up after it is opened or something.
I guess I will still take it apart, just to see how it works.
Wow, that would be nice to have an all digital circuit that monitors and controls everything! I'm not sure if I'm electrically talented enough to create something like that.
I ordered a wafer thermostat and it should be here later this week. I can't wait to get started on this project! I'm...
I agree, I will be doing my own electronics too.
I think I will be using a wafer thermostat vs a hot water heater thermostat. From what I've read it seems that the wafer thermostats seem to be more reliable and accurate. If someone has experience with the wafer thermostat can I have your feedback?
I have been using a Little Giant incubator for years and I am wanting to make a cabinet style incubator. I have looked through the articles on BYC and found some really good information. I have a base line to start, but there are some things that I am wondering about.
I am hoping to build...
I am worried about my hatch I had a temperature spike, I am not sure how hot it got... It looked like all but one egg was developing, so I will re-candle in a few days.
Awesome! My temp went down when I put the eggs in, but I am not going to adjust it yet. It should come back up after the eggs warm up...I think.
That stinks about your friends flock, but the upside is that you have an excuse to set more eggs!
We were having a raccoon problem last year. They are so annoying! Once they find your chicken (an easy target) they will keep coming back, and they will bring their buddies. You need to get rid of him, if you live in an area where you can shoot them that would be best. We keep live traps set...
I have merged groups of chicks together no problem, especially at this young age. There may be a little bit of pecking just to get the order established, but they will do fine!
