    Anybody raise crickets?

    Anybody raise crickets?

    Not sure if this is the right group for this question, but I am trying to raise some crickets, and have a few questions. . . Hopefully someone will have some advice for me.

    Set more duck and chicken eggs

    I would like to hatch some duck eggs, and maybe some turkey eggs, but I didn't know if you can put them in at the same time with chicken eggs? I know they take a week longer than chicks, and I heard that duck eggs need higher humidity, but can you hatch them together? I am putting some chicken...

    Boy/Girl ratio?

    Sorry I haven't replied sooner, I was having computer problems. I found out about the wing sexing on BYC, but this is the first time I have used it, so I don't know a whole lot about it. But it seemed to be consistent with the sexed ones at TSC. When they are a few days old, the easiest for...

    Boy/Girl ratio?

    I had 13 chicks hatch on Saturday, and by using the wing growth method to determine sex, one is a boy, one I am not sure, and the rest are girls. Has anyone else had that happen? I always thought it would be about half and half.

    So... best nesting material...

    I usually use either sawdust or hay, usually sawdust, since it is easy to clean out and replace when an egg breaks.

    MARCH HATCH-A-LONG come join in

    I just candled my eggs this morning, out of 24 it looks like about 15 are growing. I think some of them weren't fertile, since I was switching the rooster back and forth a bit between the two coops. And it was also kind of cold when I was collecting the eggs. So if I get 15, I will be more...

    can u just make a hen go broody

    I got some chicks last spring, some of which were Buff Orpingtons, and I had one of them go broody on a nest that just had one wooden egg in it - and she wasn't even a year old yet! I am hoping at least one of them will go broody this spring, to hatch some eggs for me

    This makes NO sence!

    I would like to hatch some duck eggs, if my chicken eggs hatch. Do they need different temps and stuff? maybe I will see if one of my hens will go broody and hatch the ducks for me. . . . .

    I just put my eggs in the bator this morning!!!!!! YAY!!!! I have had my alpacas for about a year and a half, but I have been working around them for about 4 years now. They are lots of fun and easy to take care of, and they don't eat near as much as a horse! lol They all have different...

    Day 17. Lockdown tomorrow! Couple of questions.

    If you are supposed to keep the humidity at 70-75%, but you aren't allowed to open the 'bator during lockdown, how do you add more water if the humidity goes down?
