You could try Skara Brae Farms. Not sure if they still have them but are listed for sale.

By far the best crowns come from Sandy Shore Farms. They are huge compared to what you find in stores and also inexpensive with only a 25 minimum, I think. A few years back I bought them by the 1000 to resell and made decent cash. http://sandyshore.ca/asparagus-crowns/ These crowns are big and healt...

I do supplemental lighting 6500K (daylight) bulbs from 4 am- 5 pm. Most of my older hens are moulting and I have about 40 % 1st year layers but overall my egg production is down about 20 %.

Fall hatching = ready to lay pullets for spring. Big $$$ pullets come April.
Good luck! Way toooo far for me and pens are all full.

Just a thought. Download the free app. "Plantsnap" to instantly get an answer to variety. They claim over 585,000 plants are identified with 90% success. My wife uses it quite often to help her identify plants.

Don't give up, it will work.
Happy chickens = more eggs.

Are you trying to incubate the eggs to check fertility or just cracking them in a bowl? If so maybe your missing something. I would put 2 dozen in for a week. Crack them all open to know for sure. If any are fertile then probably another few weeks will correct that.

Nice, chinchilla cages I think. Everyone was going to get rich breeding them years ago. Can the sections be separated? As is maybe $300 each.

Welcome back. Real estate prices are still very strong in our area. Sure they maybe dropped a little bit with the new qualifying rules but 5-10% atmost. Now they are talking of lowering interest rates again. I think the spring market will be strong with higher prices. If you wait until the next rece...
