& what would happen if there was no non-turning time before hatch date? Do they die in the shell?

how would one go about keeping them at that temp? I cant even think of a way other than a wine cooler but I would hate to have to go out and buy one just for that.

Im new to breeding quail, I have a 2.5 colony and they just started laying. (1st egg yesterday!) I have a circulated air sterofoam type incubator with the automatic egg turner. I have it set to 99.5. I want to produce as many as possible since Im using these as feeders. However my question is...

I see your in georgia, but check out california potbellied pig associations website, one of the most informative websites of pb care out there! Iv adopted my two girls from them and love them but they are a unique outer and require alot of dedication, my advice is to do lots of research first!

Update please!!

Im shocked they are girls!!! I was so convinced that I had males... But yay!!! Im so happy for them. They will think they are in emu heaven with mary. They will be so happy!!! Ill be sad to see them go but I know its for the best.

The emu's have out grown the chicken pen so I moved them into the pigs pen (potbellies) and they have much more space now...however my dilemma was that I couldnt figure out how to feed them without the pigs getting to it first --- so I hung their feeder (like the hanging chicken/poultry ones)...

Sorry I spoke too soon. Just read prior posts that answered my question! Thanks

Hi there. I have a 5 acre farm with practically every thing short of peafowl. I have always wanted to add a pair to the farm but have put off doing so because of their needs of an enclosed pen. there is a pea hen who is for adoption at my local animal shelter and I hate seeing her there in a...
