    HELP - Prolapsed Vent

    This is great news! Thanks for sharing. My Henrietta is dealing with this right now, same exact situation as R Tuggle where it's been crazy cold and the prolapse went necrotic. I'm on day 3 of her treatment. It was hard to find any info on this but thankfully I was already on the right track...

    GQF 1502 Cabinet- multiple hatches are going HORRIBLY!

    Thanks for your reply! These were all eggs that I confirmed were viable/had chicks in them. I remove any quitters or infertile around day 10 to 14. And then check again before lockdown. So they all appeared to have chicks inside. I've invested in a bunch of Wi-Fi thermometers and hatches are...

    GQF Incubator 4 to 5 Degrees Cooler At Bottom?!

    It is a 1502! I've ended up putting Wi-Fi thermometers in 3 different places in the incubator, I've had to turn the heat up quite high on the panel to get the temps right as per the wifi thermometers. I ended up buying a GQF hatcher cabinet..same issue. Had to turn the heat way up, what the...

    Isabel Ameraucana x Black Copper Marans - lavender split offspring?

    I want to end up with lavender Olive eggers. (Just a project I want to do since I have the birds here, why not!) If I breed my Isabel (lavender wheaten) Ameraucana with my black copper Marans hens, will that give me black birds split to lavender? Or does the wheaten genes make things more...

    New GQF Hatcher - Trays too Short for Egg Cartons?

    Hey guys! I have always always always hatched in egg cartons. I just personally find it the best way to do it, the eggs don't get bumped around and it seems to give me good hatch rates. I just bought a new GQF Hatcher. I had one of the old ones years ago but these ones have much shorter trays...

    GQF Incubator 4 to 5 Degrees Cooler At Bottom?!

    So I actually have two of the newer model GQF incubators. Both of them have the same problem - the temps in the hatching tray in the bottoms are 4 to 5 Degrees lower than they should be! So if the incubator says it's 100F, in the bottom it's actually 94F. The temp on the first tray will say...

    GQF Incubator Vs Hatcher Question

    I'm having trouble with my new GQF incubator where the heat is not getting down to the bottom of the incubator/hatching area sufficiently. I want to buy a GQF hatcher but wondering if it has the same problem? Is the heat source/fan in the top of the hatcher like it is in the incubator? Thank...

    GQF 1502 Cabinet- multiple hatches are going HORRIBLY!

    I have absolutely no idea what's going wrong. I just got back into chickens after about 6 years. I've always used either a genesis hovabator or the old 1200 series GQF incubators. I splurged and bought myself two 1502 GQF incubators, fully digital. My first hatch went great. They were just...

    Isabella Ameraucana x Black Ameraucana??

    Hey everyone, if I mix an Isabella Ameraucana with a black Ameraucana, What is that going to give me? I want to work on a Easter egger project that will eventually look lavender / Isabella. Will this give me black birds split to lavender wheaten?? Will it give me black birds that could be...

    Opal legbar x Wheaten Ameraucana?

    What will opal legbar x wheaten ameraucana give me? Hey everyone, I have some Wheaten Ameraucana hens. I'm debating getting a lavender Ameraucana rooster and slowly working towards Isabel over the next few years. I do have an opal cream legbar. I have a project going with him and some...
