Just my ten cents ........ here on Vancouver Island we have racoons, mink, otters, skunk, feral cats and dogs even a rare cougar or two. I have buried stucco wire ( 2x2 welded wire mesh) then steel roofing 30 " wide panels set horizontally screwed to 4 x 4 posts then stucco wire above that and...

Try scrambled eggs -------- duckies love them...... we use all our pullet eggs that we don't eat ourselves to feed the baby ducks ................ they are so so on the chick starter crumbles but watch out when I put down a plate of scrambled eggs - just use a bit of milk for moisture and do in...

I am in the same position with a 1588 genesis on day 27. I have 15 pekins and 22 Khaki Campbells starting to hatch. My Humidity is also at 75% which should be lots for a succesful hatch. I did a similar hatch last month and all turned out well. Best advice is #1 do not open the bator during...

I have Khaki Campbells coming along nicely in my Hovabator 1588 with auto rack turner and am planning on using my Hovabator 1602 as the...

We have found that a room temperature around 60 deg leads to wide temperature swings in our hovabator 1602, whereas the 1588 seems to handle it a bit better. Increasing the room temperature to 70 deg seemed to smooth the variation right out. Good idea though to get a new wafer also.

Hi - For my Khaki Campbell duck eggs I have been using a Mini - Mag lite - works great but any suggestions on how to candle really dark eggs like Marans, Welsummers or Barnevelders ? thanks for yr help.

Hi all, we have a major coon problem as we have a neighbouring farm two properties away that is a commercial poultry farm. His chicken coops are massive and fortified but he throws all his culls in a pit out back and provides huge protein for the coons. Net result is we have a problem here...
