Instructions on how to post a photo. First, you need to load your photos onto a website. The 2 most common sites people use are PhotoBucket and Aussie Chicks.
Once you've registered and uploaded your photos, for Aussie Chicks click on the photo you want to post so it's the only photo that appears on the page. Right click ON the photo and click on 'properties'. When the box pops up, copy the entire URL address that is there. An easy way is, right click ON the address and click select all. Then right click again and click copy. Close that properties box and come back here and open a new message. You can now either put that address in the 'optional image URL' box (right click in the box and click on paste) or you can click on the 'EBCode legend' at the bottom of the page to show you the code to put more than one picture per message.
If you're using Photo Bucket, find the picture you want to post. Under the photos are 3 boxes with addresses in them. Copy the address in the bottom box (IMG) and come back here and open a new (or existing) message and copy that address into the main window where you type your message. This 'code' is the same one you'd find in the EBCode legend. To add more than one photo, repeat the above steps. Only put one address per line.
Remember, if you are buying or selling stock, add your location and email address to your message so people know where you are!

Dear Peach,
I breed chickens to live at my guesthouses for fresh egg as well as show them for shows. I breed my own chicks and ducklings each year.
I think if you would like tyo do this anually - even to produce just your own chooks then it is important to get an autoturn with thermostat.
I have a 72 egg auto from IM its really good and has worked tirelessly for 7 years. I just have to turn it on put in the eggs (check in the window to see the water tray at the base isnt empty), and then put them on the lower row on 19 days to wait the final days and then hatch, taking them out in the morning of the day after they hatch and pop in a brooder.
My brooder comsists of a recyled fridge I bought for ten dollares at the reviva centre - simply normal light globs suspended from a rod, over an overturned fridge with flyscreens on top.
The incubator was $950, - but the price is distinctly due to the size, you could get a really good auto 24 eggs for ???350.
Id rather spend my money on the Incubator than a brooder - it so much better to have fully auto if you can find one.
I think otherwise I wouldnt be able to have done it each year for the seven years, I would have done it just to replenish stock -maybe every third year...
