    Will this work as a ramp?

    Extend a roost from the nesting box. Chickens can fly that high, but a roost will make them more interested in it.

    Another Chinese Incubator Issue

    You have a link to one of those strips? I have a similar incubator and I can already see modification is in order. You're right about the bottom fan. Mine is most likely upside down. I calibrated the thing after getting about a 14% hatch rate on some quail. It's default calibration was 2...

    Banged up turkey

    Just figured I'd give an update. The turkey poult is up and about in it's crate. It's eating on it's own and drinking on it's own. It's droppings are typical poultry droppings now, the color of it's food for the most part. No longer that black, tarry stool. It also really does not like being...

They brought it to me because I had a bunch of runner ducks already, so I just tossed it in the enclosure with the runners. The Muscovy definitely ran the show in there. I tossed in some guinea and chickens a little...

    I'm a total newbie here.

    I've had chickens for about 9 months, ducks for 8 months, and Guinea fowl for 7 months. I got my first chickens in early July of 2020. I have 4 Rhode Island Reds, 7 Golden Comets(they're still in the brooder), five Plymouth Rock, 1 Broaster Rooster(who I think is dying from Botulism), 1...
