Hello all! I have quite the strange predicament. I recently hatched out three poults, keeping a pair to raise for educational purposes; planning on bringing them to several 'petting zoo' events in the coming year. I have them hand tamed (maybe too tame, as they cry constantly when they can't...

((It's 4 am here so I apologize for any poor grammar)) My poults are a month old today and here is my situation: It got up to almost 90 in my room last night where I brood my babies, and nobody was happy about it! It was 75* in the rest of the house, so like an idiot I unplugged the heat lamp...

I know it is a controversial topic, however I have had some problems with omphalitis and blood rings in the past trying to incubate for my friend who pretty much demands I hatch their filthy eggs. I have already decided to wash and sterilize the eggs this time around, but need some advice on...

Turkey eggs that I received from a neighbor were covered in 'yuck' before incubation, but they insisted that I hatch them for them anyways. Four out of six eggs pipped yesterday evening, three hatched on their own in only a few hours, one died in the egg. Unfortunately the survivors have varying...
