    Eeek just started lockdown and the humidity won't stay up

    I use to help alot until I started building my own incubators. Now they work so perfectly there is no need to help out. I have had some success in the past helping but like I said ussually its a chick with bad legs or feet and there is no help for them. If your having trouble with all your...

    I don't ever sale anything as beeing show quality. That is up to the judges. Mine did come directly from show birds though. I plan to enter a pair this year in several contests.

    Incubator temperature

    Yes that is fine. I wouldnt let it go higher than 100.5 and it's fine to let it drop a few degrees. The more acurate the better but not the end of the world. Some people use the hot water heater thermostats and those vary a lot but they still hatch them out. I use a C* that has a .5 degree...

    Supreme Emu Visiting

    I have 4 emu chicks hatching in 3 weeks. I have never hatched Emu before and have NO idea what I'm in for. Is there anything I need to know? I raise quail and standerd chickens. What should I expect?

    What is this?

    My dad is a big hunter and knows all there is to know about wild animals. He took one look and instantly said it's a coyote. Said the tail was a dead give away because it's perfectly round like a hair brush and the foot placement straight in front of the other. Dogs dont walk like this.

    And whatever you do, do not help the chicks out. If they have been trying for more than 24 hrs then maybe help them but at that point only a few make it.

    "who's building an incubator"

    No I don't have it on paper just in my head. As much wiring goes into these it would not be easy to layout.

    "who's building an incubator"

    I build incubators also, some with auto turners and some that you install the LG turners in. I have also built them out of everything from stand up freezers to reclaimed lumber. http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Wooden-Hen-Incubators-Wyandottes/170980346351074 This is my facebook page that...

    Don't panic. I have hatched 10's of thousand's of eggs and I always hatch between 45-60% humidity. Your eggs should do fine at the state they are in now.

    I have Silver Laced And Blue Laced Red Wyandottes That are almost 2 years old. They stopped laying about 2 months ago and I have only gotten 1 egg since then. I expect them to start laying again once the days get a little longer. I'm not sure what you have fed yours all along but my grandfather...

    What is this?

    Looks like a wolf, but hard to say for sure since we can't see it's head. Any neighbors with big dogs near by?
