    Tips for incubation

    I've hatched with a hen before, so I thankfully knew about the first bit! And I always store eggs pointy end down (though most of mine are quite round so it sometimes takes a good look haha). Though washing my hands first is new information, I'll make sure to do that now, thank you! I'll candle...

    Tips for incubation

    Ooooh, okay, that's cool! And good to know if I ever get turkeys! Thabk you! I can't remember the exact model. My mum got it for me as a gift yesterday. I attached a screenshot of the one I think it is. It looks the same from the breif few seconds I saw it when she showed me...

    Tips for incubation

    We have a generator in case the power goes out. Also, my house is quite warm because I have a hedgehog and they need to stay at 23°C (73.4°F) or they could attempt hibernation, which if not stopped in an hour, will likely kill them. He's an African Pygmy hedgehog, which are evolving out of the...

    Tips for incubation

    Oooh okay that makes more sense. I was confused, when I've hatched with a broody hen I took them all out from under her (i had them numbered so I never missed one) to candle them and make sure they were undamaged almost daily

    Tips for incubation

    Don't open it at all? Not even to candle eggs? And the only reason I'd mark the eggs is in case the rotation thing breaks and I need to start doing it myself. Good luck, let me know how it goes for you!

    Having geese with chickens

    I'm in Canada so Meyer won't ship to me now, sadly. But it's good to hear that yours get along. And good to know to separate them when it's mating season. I'll have to figure out when that is, since I'm sure it is different based on where a person lives. And yes, I'll definitely start with all...

    Having geese with chickens

    Mini geese are a thing? That sounds absolutely perfect! I love mini versions of animals! Other than chickens, then I say bigger is better because little ones seem to be easier prey

    Tips for incubation

    Hello everyone! My family finally bought an incubator today and it's supposed to get here Wednesday. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on using an incubator. The incubator routes the eggs on its own and has a candling light in it, it's real fancy sounding. I've heard that one old...
