I use the Brinsea Mini Advance and the Brinsea Eco Octagon 20 with auto turner. As far as the LG and Hova Bator from all I've read you should go with the Hova Bator. There is a new version on the Hova Bator that has electronic controls and it's getting good reviews. Good luck and have fun. Creed

Creed's Hill Poultry. I live on top of a big hill and my name is Creed. You can figure out the rest.

Yes. Once will do it. When I separate my hens that I want to breed I put them in the pen with the rooster that I want them to breed with and throw away the eggs for 3 to 4 weeks before I collect them to incubate.

Hey Nancy, I would be interested in some speckled sussex hatching eggs as well. I have all my incubators full at the moment. I should have room for eggs toward the end of September. Will you be able to supply me with a dozen around then? Thanks! Creed

I also like the Brinsea Mini Advance. Add water every few days and forget it. At lock-down I take out the disk, put it on a paper towel and trace around it with a pencil, cut it out with scissors and put it under the eggs so the chicks can get traction when they hatch to prevent spraddle leg. I...

I didn't have 36 hens go broody at the same time. Wheeew....Don't even think that! I had 4 hens go broody. I ended up with a count of 39 chicks now. Three more hatched yesterday out of the eggs I put in the incubator that 3 of my hens left in the nest. There're three more in the incubator. Can...

I store mine in a egg carton on the kitchen island at room temperature of 70 degrees. I turn them every couple of days. Most of the time I only gather for 7 days before they go in the incubator.

I have white Leghorns. I ordered 10 hens and 2 roosters the last time I got chicks. One of the roosters was the meanest chicken I've ever seen and the hens were very flighty. I advertised some roosters for free and someone took them off my hands. The hens are now very easy going and are great...

I took one of my hens to the local vet and he told me that birds weren't his thing but he helped me get the bird fixed up. He just charged me for the meds that I needed. He gets all my business now.

I get the steroid pack for poison oak/ivy and they tend to make me a little more irritable than normal but it only last a few days after I finish the pack.

Hey MagicMarcy, don't you love it when a plan comes together? I was thinking about a cigar for my Japanese bantams that I've had hatch the last few days. If I had a cigar for every one I'd have smoked 36. All my Japanese hens went broody at the same time. They're like rabbits around here! Good...

I'm with Hawgon. I have the Brinsea Mini Advance and it is almost a set it and forget it. Just add water every 3 days or so. I also have the Brinsea Octagon 20 eco with a auto turner. It's great too. Set it add water every few days and take it off the turner 3 days before hatch day. Both are...

I have the mini advance. All I have to do is add water every few days and take the chicks out when they hatch. It's a great incubator and I've had 100% hatches before. I did have what I thought to be a warranty issue. During one of the batches of eggs that I used it on the fan started to make a...

Thanks Joan!

Thanks Pozees, the coop part is all metal except the floor. If I build another coop It will be just like it with just a few "tweeks". I'm thinking about a greenhouse now. The place that I buy my metal from has clear panels. The hardest part was notching the metal j channel so it would conform...

It's finally finished. front view. side view Nest box access door Sliding pop door. This has been the easiest housing I've built so far. There are a few things I would have done different that would have made it even easier.

Just because you get a dog from the shelter doesn't mean it's got problems or is a mutt. Now I love mutts. Some of my best animals and friends are mutts. My wife and I had to put two of our dogs down last year. One was a beagle that was 18 years old and the other was a beagle mix that was 15...

Please go to your local animal shelter and get your dog. I have 6 dogs Yorkie, Maltese, Chihuahua, Westie, bird dog and a Collie. All came from our local shelter. Adopt don't Shop!!!

Yea the metal is pretty loud with the hail, It happens maybe once or twice a year but usually it's not very big. I need to update my signature line. I sold the three turkeys I had and then hatched some from their eggs. I started with four and ended up with one that stayed alive. I think...

I was thinking the same thing! +1
