My hens are a nice size. I would say equivalent to orpingtons and other plymouth rocks such as barred rocks. I'm sure there are differences strain to strain. I have PRs from both Murray McMurray and from Sand Hill. They are both very pretty and are a good size. They all lay a nice medium...
I have an advance but do fill the chambers. I bought a box of filter papers at a much better price than buying small batches from Brinsea. I place the filter paper with a right angle fold into the chambers I take out the tray and fill the chambers when the incubator is at it's most extreme...
Just as an update I was told to unplug the sensor plug and plug it back in to the board. Did it a few times without result. I will call tomorrow.
By the way the support person was not the same as last year. I felt he was more specific in regard to problems but he said that it was very...
There was a problem last year with the Brinsea humidity pump working with the Ova Easy. I have been told that when a pump stalled it could cause injury to the control board in the Ova Easy. I gave up on fixing the humidity last year because I couldn't risk the down time. This year I am trying to...
I have been so sorry that I purchased the Brinsea 190 last year.
I bought the humidity pump and the 190 was unable to activate the pump. Apparently the only technical person was out on sick leave for a while. I'm sorry they were sick but they need more help than just one technical support...
I bought Red Bourbon and Sweetgrass turkeys from BlueSky Hatchery last year. They were all healthy on arrival and all made it through the brooder phase without any problem. They are beautiful turkeys.
I have a small flock of Holderead blue Magpies (a drake and three ducks). They are with some WH ducks but the only drake is Magpie and the Magpies lay a smaller pale blue eggs. I'm not sure if that is universally true but it is true with my flock. I would be happy to send you some when they...
I had a very young Partridge Rock pullet go broody on me in November. She never really broke until the full three weeks were up. I doubted that she would be able to keep any babies alive in our cold winter. I picked her up every morning and took her to an outdoor food and water area. Had...
I don't seem to be able to figure out how to add a picture in a post but I uploaded the item below for the Brinsea Hatch along for April. This little duck was the first of four in my hatch of Magpie x Blue Swedish and Magpie x Khaki Campbell ducklings on April the 17th. Had three more a week...
