    Antique Incubator

    I have one that is the same, and i use it as a Coffee Table in a Bed and Breakfast. Sure would love to see it working but I'm just not that creative to repair or inovatively adapt it....

    *Buff Orpington Thread!*

    Anyone's Cotton Patch Geese laying?

    There were NOT orange feet and bills. They were exclusively pink. The Pilgrim Geese, totally unrelated had the orange. People have mixed them to sell because everyone breeding has waiting lists and at 50.00 per bird in a dead economy thats a small fortune.

    Icelandic Chickens

    Hi ya'll, I haven't been on in a while, but when I got on today and was looking at the new format, found our beloved Icelandics rated at 44th and only a couple of reviews! I though you all might want to jump on that quick and boost the ratings on our favorite fowl! Andy from Fredericksburg

    Review by '' on item 'Leghorn'

    Leghorns are in my memory the primary small farm egg laying chicken. We had a hundred leghorns, and a few dozen bantams for hatching eggs, and a scattered few assorted other breeds just for fun. There was no waste when I was young and it was an event when we would get new chickens and butcher...

    Icelandic Chickens

    Another great thing about Icelandics.....I've been hatching and distributing till I am burned out...loan out my incubator, have two hens setting that hatch, two more setting about three weeks later and suddenly I go from 7 Icelandics to 27 in about 5 weeks ....and am able to bless someone else...
