Good explanation and video for how to do this, but I'd rather see more of a step-by-step narrative as I'd probably be reading this step-by-step if I have to ever do it.
Such awesome ideas! Thanks for an entertaining article with great pictures too! I may try a couple of them out!
I found some of your pictures are from other websites. If you fix this, either by giving them credit or contacting them for permission, or finding someone on BYC perhaps that would let you use their photos, send me a message and I'll change my rating.

Otherwise, the content of the article is very informative!

Great explanation and photos so that anyone could build this incubator with turner. Awesome videos and handy wiring diagrams too. Nice job!
Great pictures and identification of the innards of a female quail. I'm sure this will come in handy for folks doing their own necropsies to try to figure out what's wrong with their quail.
Good comparison of various water bottles and bedding for quail kept in cages. Helpful to have pictures to go along with what was tested.

This is a great list showing us the awesome perks of having PFM status. It was just updated to include Dark Mode as an option. 🎉
Excellent information to get someone started in photography!
Good to know as for us up here in the north, to mention doing this to a frostbitten rooster is sometimes the best thing to do to help them.

After you stated what is needed, I was waiting for a brief explanation of how you do this. I'm left to assume that sharp sheers has something to do with it, but now I'd have to google how to do it. :)

I'm planning a second part for explaining, or showing the process.

Very informative and pretty pictures that help.

The spelling and grammar still needs help. This particular paragraph I pasted below is the worst of it but not all of it. I don't mind helping clean this up if you want to, just message me.

They will protect there nest aggressively, and even though they look harmless enough, they can pack a tiny, but still angry punch. However, it better for everyone, inducing the eggs, if you just leave the nest alone so the parents can do what there made to to.

Very handy article.

Agreed, you could keep building on this with other breeds, but you don't need to raise every breed there is. For instance, if you need silkie pictures, ask me if you can use a couple of mine. I'd love to share some with you and you can pick what you want. If there's a breed you see you don't have, just message them to ask them. I highly doubt most would mind a bit!
This is an informative article for anyone curious about peanuts! I buy the salt-free ones for the squirrels, and I suppose the free-ranging chickens find one here and there.
I have hatched many eggs over the years and have never heard of this. I'm going to test it out because it intrigues me.

You could use some more information in your article and could run your own tests try to prove your method works. For example, test 12 eggs, and say you deem two dead via your float test. Mark those two and put them back in the incubator to show us.

Overall, informational, but a lot of typos and grammatical errors take away from it or make it harder to read. If you want help, send me a message.

I never knew even half of this about parsley. Very interesting and informative. I've never grown it but I'll look to next spring.

I would have liked some links to read more about, for instance, it being a natural dewormer.
