Hi all I have a coop measuring (1 12ftx8ft) linked to a run (2 12ftx6ft), from that run its joined to another standard (3 8ftx6ft) shed and that's got a joining run (4 19ftx8ft) 1=main shed with nest boxes and roost but also as a brooder within. 2=shaded area with roof 3=old shed, used now for...

Is the 48egg incubator from china?? Is it a janoel? If so I've heard bad feedback on these, massive temperature fluctuation inside which isn't good. I recently brought the jn12 model and its bad!!!!! Only holds 9eggs but have a temp difference of about 2c from 1 end to the other. I've used it...

Thanks I saw movement on the 27th but nothing since its the 30th today.

Hi all I know the cycle is 21 days. But I have a question, silly question, but non the less a question. If I set eggs on the 8th may @8pm What will the hatch day be? Is it 21 days from then or 21 days from the 9th?

My sablepoot with 3 of her chicks, 2 are still hiding

Hi all My broody sablepoot hatched some of her eggs today that I purchased for her from eBay. 4 hatched and still waiting on 2, she's doing great. My question is will she leave the other 2 if no good? She's still on the nest and not showing signs of leaving yet, I'm not concerned because just...

Hi, I've just build mine with pallets. 6 on the floor and build up the sides with more pallets till my desired height then put hardwood on the outside and thinner on the inside. Didn't take any photos of the construction but have got this, although its changed a lot since. I've added an outside...

Hi I've brought several eggs from eBay and get mixed results to be honest. Some don't start some start and stop. I usually blame myself for not being an incubating expert. I'm incubating 12 at the mo, 6 vorwerks all doing ok at the moment from 1 seller and a 6 wyandottes (gold and silver) only...

I built a 12x7ft pallet coop, well still in building stage. I've finished the outside and put 12mm hardwood all around and on the roof. Trick is to match the pallet sizes. Hope your construction works out. I would post a pic but can't figure it out.

This happened to me also, so frustrating!!! :-( I got told I drowned them with humidity, I raised it to 75% just like the instructions with my bator.
