Well after reading more on here and researching more I have decided to try some games. Went to the feed store the other day and they had 2 different trios and they had some eggs that were just layed. Asked how much for them and they were given to me. So now the 9 eggs are in the incubator with...

It all depends on the species of hawks and how the weather in your area has been. We have some red shoulders hatching now but also have some red tails still working on nests along with coopers. Also for all hawks when the female lays her eggs she never leaves them until they hatch and the male...

Me and a buddy have been having problems with out white leghorn hatches and we need help to figure the problem out. They are on a good layer feed with high protien, there are 2 roosters and 12 hens together. We both have been having similar problems in different incubators and in different...

I havent read through all 113 pages but did read alot and loved the pics of all the very good looking birds. If this has been asked Im sorry but I would like to discuss and ask why you would want to keep games? I know in the past it was for illegal purposes and thankfully that is banned. I did...

anyone???

Got these eggs as a dozen mix. Most all were purebred some may have been crossed and Im not sure what all of them are. Does anyone have an idea? These are just a few of the 15 I have so far with more still hatching. 1-?? not sure he is black with some red and black legs 2-?? he is brown/copper...

After I dried one of the troughs out I let it warm back up and at 99.3 I was at 73%. I then dried out the other trough as well and it went up to 77%. I am letting it run for now and let it dry out as its running before I put the eggs in. Would this be too much humidity for chicken eggs? THis is...

I have checked it and its right. Its the Accurite hygrometer and temp. and they are both correct. I did take some water out just now and wiped the bottom of the incubator and its clean. Gonna let the temp come back up some more and check in a few.

I am due to go on lockdown tonight/early tomorrow. Last night I had my hatcher hovabator setup and added humidity to it after I had gotten them temps regulated. Last check last night it was right at 66% and now today I cant get it to go below 70, right now its at 76% and 99.1 degrees. I have...

I have the still air and it cant keep the temps regulated for anything. Last year with bad hatches from my quail I bought a fan and made it a forced air circulated model myself. Since then hit holds temps steady and keeps humidity under control. The dial is sensitive and very small. What I find...

Well today I set 3 dozen eggs and now time to wait. I got a dozen from a local hatchery, they are just a barnyard mix of sussex and some others for a dual purpose bird. Then I got 2 dozen from a guy close that has orpingtons,delewares,RIR,and a bunch of others. I just asked for a mix of all. Can...

Im a falconer and I will tell you that yes falconers do trap with permits wild raptors for use in falconry however we release them after a few years. Why? The mortality rate of first year raptors is so high on average one out of a nest will live to be a year old. We give them a jump start and...

With my coturnix eggs I never put any water in for the first 15 days and my humitidty stayed about 45-55. During lockdown I filled the bottom rings of my hovabator and got 65% humidity and I always have good hatches. I set 20-30 eggs every week and never had more than 7 not hatch and most of...

When you say a breeder do you mean someone from here or what? I do have incubators as quail are not broody either and I usually set 30-40 quail eggs a week during the laying season.
