Hello! All the eggs I hatched came from a pure BCM roo who was over several pure breed hens including BCM and Creme Legbar and barred rock...I know with the exception of the BCM hens he was with, that the rest were going to be BCM mixes.....Since one of the breeds that daddy roo was in with are...
Curious if anyone has incubated eggs for other folks? I love the process but don't need a bazillion chickens! How did it go? Any tips? I was thinking about incubating and then returning chicks within the first week or so. Pics just because. :)
I used an old wheelbarrow. Added peat moss, fine dirt and a light sprinkling of First Saturday lime...Not only do they love the dust bath part, but they like sunning on the handles! I need to get a pic sometime.
Hello! I'm just across the river in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Wanted to share that I have several BCM roosters and BCM mix roosters if anyone has a need! Thanks!
Has anyone had any luck with Repell All around their hives? Would it be bad for the chickens? I've used it successfully for the past few years around my garden for deer and coons....just wondering if around the coop could help?
I'm hoping to soon have more eggs than I can use and no neighbors to share with....my thought was to donate to this great soup kitchen I know of, but how do I know if they will be "permitted" to take these fresh eggs? How do I find out about the rules about such a thing? thanks!
That's sad! I've got the whole coop surrounded with 6' fence and adding a skirt of hardware cloth, too. I'm hoping that will prevent coons from getting in....finishing the gate portion. I'm putting in hardware cloth under the gate portion, too so they can't dig under and get in that way...
