I'm still reading through the posts so if I have missed something since I've been gone, I'll find out soon enough. Wow, two weeks equals over 400 posts. We are a busy bunch, eh? I've hatched lots of turkeys since my first one and I've set up a quail pen with only Dark Brown, white, checker...

Hi Sparkles :D What chickens do you have?

****Warning, the following post is me talking about me culling my Roosters so if that is something you don't want to read, skip over it (and I'm sorry I upset you)**** Today I finally culled my extra roosters (with lots of help from my Mum and a friend). That's 10 roosters down and I also...

My Blue Australorps are hatching! I have 2 out and plenty more pipping. I love Australorps, the second they dry I'm stuck wondering how such a big chicks came from those eggs... The contortionists of the chick world. 8 turkey eggs in lockdown tomorrow. All look great so hopefully I'll have a...

Gorgeous baby horses. I'm sorry about your Red

That I did! I love them all

It's raining here, which is great. Turkey pics!!! And while I was putting them up, more pictures snuck in... I tried to keep them out, but my cat gave my the big eyes. Here are the cats, and that heat mat they'e sitting on? That's my laptop. You can't really see it but Leo, the Devon Rex on...

Yay! Congratulations on the hatch. Let us know how the Araucana hatch goes, I love Araucana chicks. They just have the classic chick look.

I have different incubators for incubating and hatching (but I use the same thermometers and hydrometers to make sure it's even) but The humidity commonly got up to about 50% even though I was trying to keep it at about 40%. I thought that that might let the chicks grow a bit bigger, but I...

Welcome Lou I have a couple of Silkie cross Pekin and they are the cutest chickens. Feel free to pop up some pics of yours, lol.

My temp was 36.5 and my humidity was 60%. I keep my eggs mixed around for this exact reason, none of the same size clumped together so the air flow is fairly even. My little turkey and the buff are doing well. I got another 3 turkey hens today and a dozen Maran eggs that are a mix between 4...

...Bugger. Here is my hatch: All the Buff sussex are out or pipped and zipping. 11/11 I have 2 surviving Speckled Sussex and both look like buff sussex. I have 1 surviving Minorca who has pipped but not hatched. And 1 Turkey poult (yay, a turkey poult!!!!!). Everything else was...

Luke, I'm sorry about your Araucana

Okay, here's the hatch count as it stands on day 21 (today): - 8 out of 11 Buff sussex. That is all so far, though my turkey is slowly but surely making a bigger hole (their membrane is almost a fabric, it's so thick). I'm not if the buff who hatch are all related as I got some Speckled...

You got 2/38 hatch? Bugger... Good luck with the new hatch! I hope you have much better luck this time round.

2 Buff Sussex out, 2 turkeys have pipped (neither hatched yet but one is starting to zip). I seriously can't wait for this turkey to hatch, it's putting me on edge. I actually started building another grow out pen so I wouldn't be inside waiting (the pen is 1.2 meters by 3.2 and 1.4 tall. It's...

Bye Chickaroo! Have fun

Hello How are your chooks going? Are they laying yet? I HAVE PIPS!!!!!!!! One of the turkey's have pipped and 7 chicken eggs. This isn't my first hatch but I can't help but stand over it, making nose prints on the lid of my incubator. In another incubator I have 2 lots of my own...

It sounds like she's in good hands, I hope she's walking normally real soon.

The box wasn't big enough for them but an auspost worker would have really needed to stamp on it as apparently the top was caved in. Of all the times for it to happen...
