Hi I haven't even bought an incubator yet but if I could find some sources of hatching eggs of various Bantam breeds in Maritime Canada I would like to try hatching some to add to my little backyard flock. The eggs would need to be from Canadian sources because I can't bring US Hatching Eggs...
Hi Everyone. I've done an introduction before but I thought I would do a little post on where I'm from. I live on a small Canadian Island, east coast Canada in the Bay of Fundy called Campobello. Less than a thousand people live here and I'm only aware of 2 or 3 people with backyard chickens. I...
Three short videos that I made while I was building my little coop last year. Thought these might inspire other non builders. This was the first thing I ever built, not perfect but the chickens and I think it's quite comfortable.
And the finishing touches:
Earlier in the year several of you help me identify the different breeds I'm my little mixed flock so I thought you might like to see them now that they are almost fully grown. This little video clip was taken a few days ago.
I have a dozen seven week old chickens six each of standard size breeds and bantams. This lady is one of the standard size breeds and the only one that I can't decide what breed she might be, have a look at this photo and if you have a suggestion please let me know...
I guess I'm not in a rush for an answer to my question, my little flock is only a week old today. I have 6 straight run bantams and 6 brown egg laying pullets. Next year if I get a rooster and pullets in the bantam flock I want to by a small incubator and try hatching some eggs. Because of the...
I ordered mostly breeds to be selected by the hatchery and at 5 days old there aren't enough feathers for me to even make a guess. Anyone out there who wants to suggest what some of these birds are. I know I have 3 Mottled Cochins and one Silkie who right now is almost all black. Some of these...
We had quite a day yesterday and a long road trip to pick up my birds in Maine and get them imported into Canada but all seems happy and well this morning.
Check out my blog for a video of the story and a few photos...
I'm a little late asking if anyone uses one of these and if so do you think it really works, I bought one and installed it today.
This photo and short explanation in my bolg explains what I'm talking about and how it is supposed to work...
I'm not a carpenter by any stretch of the imagination, actually my new coop is the first thing that I have ever even tried to build. I thought it might be an encouragement to any other chicken enthusiasts out there who are thinking about building there own believe me if I can do it you can do a...
Good day everyone I'm glad I found your forum this morning it looks like a good resource tool for lots of information that I will need in the next few weeks. I live on Campobello Island in the Canadian province of New Brunswick on the east coast. It has been at least 20 years since I last had...
