    Grow Out Pen

    I recently completed my grow out pen for my 2 month old RIR's and Delawares. I'll use this as my intermediate pen between chicks and adults. I built a feeding pavilion since there wasn't enough room in the coop for a feeder

    rusty chicken wire

    I use heavy gauage welded wire for the exterior of my runs but I've used common chicken wire/netting to separate the runs. I've noticed recently how it rusts quickly. Yesterday I had to replace a 25' section because it had rusted so badly after only 2 years that my chickens had pushed it open...

    Egg pipped at wrong end, intervene or not?

    I'm sure this subject has been discussed many times before but I've never had this happen before so I never really paid attention. I've got new hampshire chick pipping on the narrow end of the egg. Anyone have any experience with this? Can it hatch normally or will it need help?

    Before and after

    When I built my first coop I didn't give a lot of thought to predators. Ater losing 5 hens and 3 roosters to raccoons I decided it was time for some reinforcment. This is the coop as it was originally built. Now with heavier gauge wire and totally enclosed the coons can do nothing more than...

    Heritage Delaware hatching eggs

    I'm trying to get one more hatch in before cold weather gets here. I'm looking for heritage breed Delaware hatching eggs, not the ones from a hatchery. I've had 2 hatches of dels this year but ended up with mostly roos.

    Heritage Delaware Roosters and Black Copper Marans Roosters

    My hatches this year produced more roosters than hens. I have several heritage breed Delaware roosters and Black Copper Marans from the Wade Jean line. These are beautiful roosters and I'd much rather they get their own flock of hens rather than the stew pot. This will have to be local only, I'm...

I'm willing to...

    Buff Orpington eggs 10+

    Selling pure Buff Orpington eggs from Colonel Mustard and his girls. I currently have a batch from these girls in the incubator and 15 out of 16 are developing so far. The other started but quit after day 5 so I'd say fertility is pretty good. I accept paypal or money orders. As with most all...

    Buff Orpington cockeral/roo 7mths old

    Buff Orpington roo. From a batch hatched in Aug 09. Good natured, docile and not aggressive. Only reason I'm letting him go is he and my other roo are competing for only 4 hens and they need a break. No shipping, pick up only. I can drive out 30 minutes if you're distant. I also have him listed...

    Fox or coon?

    Something got my silkie cross roo last night or early this morning. The run door was wide open and the hens were roaming the yard when I got up. When I went to feed up there were dark feathers everywhere in the coop and I found a few drops of blood on the chicken ladder leading to the run. I...

    Just about ready to give up on my homemade forced air bator. Fixed it!

    I've built several still air incubators with limited success, usually 30 to 50% hatch rates. I've always heard that forced air bators are superior because they're supposed to distribute the heated air evenly. Well, I'm on my second prototype and I always have at least a 2 degree difference from...
