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.

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.
Very informative article!

We have a lot of mint but never used it much. Now I will!
Great article!

I bought a comfrey plant last year, but it just got ran over by a tractor. I know it's pretty prolific so hoping it comes back. If it doesn't, I'll get some more, but good to know all of this for whenever I can actually use some of it!

No pictures of the build or instructions, and that run looks way too small for the number of chickens in there. Maybe this could be added onto though. 1/2" hardware cloth is safer.
