Thank you for this. We have a member needing help with a prolapsed vent and I've never had a chicken with it so searched for something to help them. This is it! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this. I see someone's asking about frostbite so I searched for someone else who explains it better than I could. I'll give them link to your article. Thank you!

This is very thorough for anyone considering an NR360. You covered everything well! We owned one for a couple of years, then wanted to go bigger so found a used Brinsea 56 EX and use both of them now.

Your condiment container for the distilled water is ingenious. I have a 2-cup plastic measuring cup I use and often spill.

I may try those plastic clips as I have probably opened the cover at least 100 times and it just never came easy to me.

I lost the red plug...probably a cat found it and batted it somewhere but until it shows up, I cut a piece of hard plastic to cover one side during incubation and both sides during lockdown.

Thanks for the tips and the article. Next time I see anyone asking about this particular incubator, I'll give them the link to your article if nobody else does.

Oh for fun. Thank you!

I realize this is an older article but I was looking for something that explained breeds of chickens for a new member. This was great! Thank you!

Excellent illustrations and explanations! I don't have ducks, just chickens, so was looking up how to help another member who thinks their duck has bumblefoot. I don't think it does but I'll still share this with them in case it would lead to it. Thank you!

This is awesome. We have a coop, and an aviary, but are looking at building something else for an outdoor breeding pen for our silkies to be used for every month but winter. Something like this would work great and also, if I get my wish to raise quail someday!

As for the anonymous person who commented about your chicken wire not being preditor-proof, I would have too but I read your explanation which makes perfect sense. I just wish people would read before judging. Nice job!

Thank you for a thorough article on egg development. We have a member looking to learn about it and I searched and thankfully found your article to share with them.

I'm sorry but I was hoping to find more help here in the development of chicks in an egg. This article is a decade old, but came up when we search "candle eggs" and it's not hugely helpful to someone who is asking what do they look like each week. I have to try find some other article for them. If you're still here, you could really spruce this up!

Thank you for this article and all the great pictures you have to help explain it. We have a member with a newly hatched chick presenting with curled toes so wanted to show them how to splint it. I shared this with the member, and grateful I found this!

This is a great article. I'm an old chicken tenderer, and have helped answer questions through the years, but now I'll just share your article when someone asks.

The only thing I personally don't agree with is to just worm my chickens to prevent something they don't have or get. I've never had to worm mine, and if the time comes, I will then.

Excellent article and pictures! I'm sharing it with someone who is asking about bumblefoot. Thank you!

Thank you for this very helpful article. A member is asking about treating it and I searched for an article and like yours so sharing it.

Love this! We have a huge garden, wildflower field, and a woods behind us. There are a lot of things around here they shouldn't have, such as Lily of the Valley which grows wild on the hill, and whoever said silkies were smart, but they don't eat it. This is a great reference though for some things I SHOULD grow. Thank you!

Thank you for the great article! We have someone asking about assisting with a duck egg and I searched articles to find a good one to refer him to, and found yours. I shared it with them. Thank you!

We've got someone interested in doing this and looked for a good article to explain it. Yours fits the bill so I'll share it with them. Thanks for a good job!

This is awesome and filled with so many good ideas to try, and if not, you have alternatives there which is great as things often depend on the breed or types of chickens we're all dealing with. I love the Plan B of raising the temp pen with bricks. Ingenious!

This is a cut/paste job from https://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=17568.0 but saw you gave them credit. You could find one for ducks to add to it and make this more of a resource, as many of us just go to the above link for chickens.

I was looking for a resource for someone with a duck that has bumblefoot and came upon this and skimmed it. I love how thorough it is. The font is very small to me but perhaps you did that intentionally. Good article though!

Educational! Love this. I was trying to help someone find out what is wrong with their red sex-link but after many back and forth's and not resolving their issue, now I think I know. I shared this with them.
