IO might give ebay a try this year. But mainly have just sent people my paypal addy and once they pay ship the eggs, same day most times if done before 11 am. There is an Aloha breeder facebook group that I sell a lot on. Iy is also the best place to get differing lines right now. Though I do...

I'll soon have the youngsters from teh grow out pen photos split up and in breeding pens mid February. And ready to ship eggs end of march, with chicks in April. I have confetti and Dun colors easily enough. The Millie color will be later in teh fall I think as I don't have many breeders for...

Sorry for the delay, I came down with Pancreatitis. It's not fun at all. Anyway, here are some pics from tehj growout and pulloet pen. Thse birds are starting to lay but have not yet been moved to the breeding pens..

I breed Aloha's. I probably have the biggest breeding flock (200). I have pens with both body types and all 3 color combinations. The Issue I can foresee is shipping costs and travel times. Plus is there any special paperwork needed since you are in the US VI

Have had a few health issues so have not been around. This is something you test for post mortem as it is done mainly through a microscope, so hatcheries don't test for it unless they have to do necropsies. It was a small hatchery in NM, and I am not going to state their name in an open forum...

Yes but you have to look at the date of the post. it is form a year and a half ago and his new post is from this month

Meme's to make you smile when times are tuff.

I fed Meat bird 22% protein start to finish. I fed, under continuous light, unrestricted, meaning feed in front of them at all times, for the first 5 days. it is important to keep the feeders full at all times. After that I only allowed them to eat what they wanted for 12 hours and went back...

I've raised batches of Cornish from 3 Hatcheries. Welp, Privatt and McMurray. At 8 weeks those from Welp hatchery had the highest processed weight. Males ended up between 8.75 and 9.5 pounds. The Females ended up between 6.5 and 7.5 pounds. Lots of breast meat and a decent amount of leg and...

Cull all birds, why take a virulent disease to a new property and contaminate it. Also you said you want to sell hatching eggs and or chicks. to legally do that and cross state lines you need to be NPIP. You can never get to be NPIP with a Mareks flock. the USDA is really starting to crack down...

Your offer is appreciated, but sadly you are correct way to much water between us to be viable :)

21 days is an average not a rule. Some breeds routinely only take 19 days and some 23 days. if you've ever watched some of Murray McMurray hatcheries videos, you will notice that for a Monday hatch some eggs are set on Saturday and some are set on Tuesday to get the most hatched for a Monday...

I'm down to 1 four year old hen that has mostly given up laying, the roo and other 3 hens that I brought with me were taken by an owl that found its way into the barn through a ten inch hole in the rafters I could not see from the ground. Here before Halloween I had a good 50 5 month old grow...

The reasoning off the days between doses is that is how long the first dose takes to get out of the system and the second dose will not have a chance of building to toxic levels in the system. so always err on the side of a longer interval between doses than a shorter one.

23 or 24 gauge insulin needles is what I use. I normally only vaccinate for Meraks in my area. that said there are other vaccines out there for poultry that if I noticed an outbreak in my part of the state I would order and administer the appropriate vaccine. the one that comes to mind is a...
