I just bought this incubator on Sunday, it was running cool (@98) based on 4 different thermometers (all within 1 degree of each other.)
So I upped the thermostat to 101 and it’s maintaining at 99.5. I have eggs due to be here in a couple days. Is this a normal thing? Should I take it back and...

Well in September I bought my new home. It is a fixer upper that is liveable. The people before me pulled all the trim down, there are a few other interior things to do as well. However, all I can think about is the outside. It has a small garden pond that needs redone, and last fall I saw...

9+ Easter Eggers. I have a white rooster over 7 different colored EE hens. I also have 2 Welsummers and a light Olive Egger and can include those eggs too if you want.
I will only be sending blue/bluegreen eggs unless you want the Wellies and OE as extras. All of my EE's...
I have 3 KRC-59 egg trays for bantam or pheasant. They fit in the GQF Sportsman or Dickey's incubator trays.
They are in good condition.
I am looking to trade them for chicken egg trays. I PREFER the 48 chicken egg trays, but let me know what you have.
I am looking for an even swap, or...
Ok, that is not true, I can find LOTS. I can find so much information that I cannot find what I am looking for. I used the search function ALOT on the old BYC, however, now I get so many posts that I cannot get any useful information.
An example:
I was searching for threads on incubating...
Well I thought I had a couple of people to send me Wellie eggs for my last hatch of the year, but I cannot get a hold of them. I do have some of Faykokowv's wonderful eggs coming, but I would like to get a few more.
Let me know what you got and what you want.
Thanks!!
I have a Canon Xsi and I like the stock lens that came with it, 18-55, but I find I really like to use my 35-135mm lens more. On my list of lens to buy are a 50mm 1.8 (I would love the 1.4) and a nice macro.
I like the 35-135 because it give me a nice range of zoom, I guess it is my best all...
Ok I have searched and found the names of the meds that will help, however I checked online at Tractor Supply and they don't seem to have it. We do have a vet supply that should have it, but they won't be open until Tuesday. I will be going to check out TS to look for myself, but if I can't...
So I am cleaning algae off the inside of my aquarium. Yes, I have algae. I have a slightly planted tank, so I have extra watttage on my lights and I overfeed so I don't have to use fertilizers for the plants....so back to cleaning the tank.
So I have my razor blade and I am scraping the...
Hello all!
I have a sportsman, but even before I got it, I wanted larger hatches. I have asked people who I am swapping with if they would sell me additional eggs and send them all at the same time. I guess I like the odds better of something hatching from 15 eggs vs 6.
What do you prefer...
I spoke to my main post office in a city with a metro population of 600,000. I had a few moments to ask them some questions about shipping packages. I asked them about the treatment of normal packages, versus fragile. They told me normal packages are tossed, and not much care is given to...
I am sure that this is another great debate, but I am truly curious.
When you ship eggs do you just put fragile on the box? Or do you go into huge detail? Cover the box with chicke graffiti?
If I am shipping eggs I usually put fragile only. If whomever I am sending them to has things they...
Hello,
This is the first time that I have incubated duck eggs. I have some that are due to hatch on Saturday and those look great! I am a little concerned with what the humidity should be for the last 3 days. The ones that I am most concerned about are some eggs that are on day 12 (today.)...
