I have it on good authority that Moonshiner no longer has any leghorns. He now exclusively grows Moonhorns and Legshines. They all lay white eggs. He's been gathering eggs and putting them in incubators so many years that the chickens have started laying straight in the incubator. Inquiring...

Feeling the pinch of feed costs yet moonshiner? We are up by 25% from $10.00 per bag to $12.50 in the last year.

Small minds, easily amused. :O :D

Reminds me of the ancient Chinese martial art of Wang Chan which turns any offensive move against the user. It is so effective that when two Wang Chan masters meet, the only thing they can do is sit at a distance and hurl insults at each other.

I took a look at incubators on Craigslist in Missouri and it was bad. A buzzard would have to carry a backpack if he wanted to fly over Mizzery looking for something to hatch eggs in. Here is what can be found in my region...

https://www.sandhillpreservation.com/corn has it listed as "Chicken". If you try it, keep in mind that it won't produce like a hybrid corn, but the corn it makes will have significantly more protein. Also, it works pretty well to make a hybrid with most other open pollinated field corn such as...

They are rubbermaid for the most part though I have a couple of heavy duty tubs that were given to me and don't have a brand name stamped on them. These are from Walmart. I think 2 of them are 100 gallon, 2 70 gallon, 2 50 gallon, and I have 1 30 gallon that I use for small hatches. The...

I keep chicks anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 months. Some can be culled at hatch based on color and other physical traits such as comb type. When they are very close to desired traits, I keep them longer until I can tell for sure just how close they come to the desired feather and body traits. AI...

That is why I installed a new fan motor. The old one was worn out and did not circulate enough air. With the new motor, temperature regulates within + or - half a degree day in and day out anywhere inside the incubator. I also have it set up in my basement where temperature tends to be very...

I'd like to convince you to get a better incubator setup. In that theme, here is how I run mine. Each week I gather a variable number of eggs, between 50 and 150 depending on how heavily the chickens are laying. I have egg trays that hold about 50 eggs each with 2 trays fitting on one...

These are all the blue egg laying Silver Laced Wyandottes. My cull rate is still about 90%. From 1000 chicks hatched, I expect to keep maybe 100. I'm going to cull some roosters tomorrow. I have roughly 200 chickens currently and want to go into winter with about 125. Note, when I say cull...

Given some eggs that are not fertile, some that do not develop, and a few that hatch weak chicks, a good hatch for me is 70%. I have a GQF 1202 incubator that holds 6 trays or roughly 300 eggs. I try to put in 100 eggs per week usually from March to May. That gives me roughly 1000 chicks to...

Writing a book is just the beginning. Then you have to promote it, go to book signings, travel across the country to libraries, etc. All of this gets in the way of hatching chicks.

What I see all too often is someone so hidebound in their opinions that they discourage a less experienced person from asking questions and taking on a dream. We each needed encouragement at some point in our lives. Instead of putting up roadblocks, try smoothing the pathway. disclaimer: not...
