    Sick Guinea

    I live in NE CO and we have had drastic weather changes in the last few weeks. One day it is 70 and the next it is -6. Today I noticed that one of my Fowl wasn't acting right. He is all hunkered down and I can pick him up. When I did he was breathing hard. What can I treat him with? I am...

    first time hatching

    I let mine set 3 days. I had them in an egg carton with one end propped up. I would rotate 2-3 times a day. I had 9 of 11 hatch. Other eggs that I didn't do this with I had none hatch. Good luck.

    Incubating peafowl

    I don't have the tray for my RCom, I just put paper towel on the floor after I take the egg holder out. Works great and less clean up.

    Incubating peafowl

    Which Brisnea model do you have? I have looked and can't decide. I have a RCom 20 and really like it, just wanted to try something different.

    Shipped Cream Legbar eggs. Success I think.

    I ordered eggs off of ebay from 3 different people. I put 6 in the incubator from 2 different people and 8 from another. I had 4 of 6 and 5 of 6 hatch. 0 of 8. If I hadn't ordered that last 8 to fill my incubator I would of had over 75% hatch rate. I think that is really good. Can't wait...

    One chick early hatch

    What kind of incubator do you have? I have read different things, some say to leave the chick because it will cause the others to want to hatch. I always worry that it will get to "rough".

    Dead babies at day 7. Questions

    I did notice that the ones in the middle of the incubator were the ones that were alive at day 4. The one that is still alive was in the middle. I had ventilation and it had been cleaned. Makes me wonder if it was a heating element thing. Thanks.

    Duck incubating question.

    I have read many different things and would like your opinion. What temp and humidity do you set your eggs at? When they go on lock down what do you increase it too? I am going to try and hatch some of my own duck eggs. Thank you
