    Processing quail

    I usually eat mine within 3-4 hours of killing them. After killing them I let them sit in the fridge during that time in water. Then take them out and cook them.

    I've built two pluckers in the last month or so. My first one i left the bottom of the barrell on. What i did was turned three fingers in a row upside down on the plate and cut an 8 inch opening in the barrell oposite side of the motor that way the 3 fingers sweep the feathers and water out...

    Need plucker spacing help and Q's- In the middle of a build

    lessons learned from my first batch....

    Hova-Bator Genesis Electronic Display Issue - Is this happening to you too?

    Hova-Bator Genesis Electronic Display Issue - Is this happening to you too?

    I've purchased two of them so far. I have my second batch of eggs in each one of them right now, and no problems. My first one gets a little bit of condensation around the yellow box of the display, but none on the display itself. Are their any screws that hold the display up to the glass...
