Thread Starter 

I'm happy I found the site and I am looking forward to it! I raise a few Backyard Chickens and want to learn all I can.I farm my own land and raise my own food..."Dancingfire Farm"

I am just getting ready to incubate some Buffs...It is an older Incubator that someone let me borrow and there are no instructions with it...Hope I can figure it out...It's a Little Giant.Does anyone know anything about them? Looking forward to the exchange with all of you!   Dancingfire

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan big_smile.png

Little Giants are notorious for being unpredictable and unreliable incubators. There is a whole thread dedicated to helping people who use them - check in the Incubating and hatching eggs section of the forum

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
              one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?

Hi and welcome-byc.gif from Ohio. So glad you joined. thumbsup.gif

TIME is the best thing to spend on a child!
Always calibrate your hygrometer before you incubate!!

If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit,

for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man.

All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth.
