    New Brinsea Humidity Pump Not Working

    I've tried various humidity levels just to get it to kick on or off. Doesn't seem to matter. I got a hold of Brinsea and they said it sounds like it is a problem with the control panel of the incubator - which I disagree with because the incubator is working fine alone. I convinced them to let...

    New Brinsea Humidity Pump Not Working

    The incubator beeps rapidly for about 20 seconds when I unplug the pump, but then works normally. When the pump starts beeping it beeps continuously with a few seconds between each beep. It flashes Brinsea v1.9. I am at home right now so I don't have a picture of it at the moment as the...

    New Brinsea Humidity Pump Not Working

    I have an octagon 20 and just got a new brinsea advance humidity pump. When I get it all hooked up and turn the incubator back on it just keeps blinking the version number of the incubator and beeping. If I unplug it and plug it back in enough times I can get it to start up but when I go into...

    Can they really stay in the incubator 3 days?

    I am hatching ducks right now and my ducks are typically pretty late hatchers. They may pip on day 28 but typically take until day 30 to really hatch. However it seems I have a super eager duck on my hands who is going to be out either at the very end of day 27 (today) or very early part of...

    Duckling, Increasingly Bald Back

    Oh no! I knew you weren't being a know-it-all. :) Just sharing what we have been doing. I may look into adding more niacin if it doesn't start improving though.

    Duckling, Increasingly Bald Back

    Oh and they do get bathtime daily. That is what the picture is from actually and then after that bath today they took another one in cleaner, deeper water since they had gotten this water so dirty lol.

    Duckling, Increasingly Bald Back

    They are currently eating Gamebird/Showbird food that has some niacin in it. Plus I have been doing alternating the Sav-a-Chick electrolytes with the Sav-a-Chick probiotics. The farm we got our eggs from also has khaki campbells so this one could be mixed with that. Maybe it is a khaki...

    Duckling, Increasingly Bald Back

    We have week old ducklings that are doing really well but we have one Rouen mix that keeps getting increasingly bald on his back. He had just small spots before so I assumed he was just growing too fast for his feathers and it would cover up, but it seems to be getting worse and not better. It...

    Delayed Hatch - Holiday Weekend HELP!

    I would take the incubator with me for the weekend, but unfortunately since they are in lockdown they are way too fragile to move. They roll around like crazy in the octagon incubator.

    Delayed Hatch - Holiday Weekend HELP!

    So we are hatching chicks in our third grade classroom. Due to tornadoes and severe weather in our area this past weekend we lost power for about 2 1/2 hours. The chicks went in lock down the next morning. They were DUE to hatch yesterday, but due to the temperature drop they are a little...

    Anyone willing to donate 24 chicken eggs to a 3rd grade class?

    Hello breeders, I am looking for someone that would be kind enough to donate 24 chicken eggs to my class to hatch. I am willing to pay for shipping, but I am not sure I can afford to buy eggs this year as I have in the past. We are looking for chicken eggs and we are located in Iowa so...

    Kildeer Baby Help

    Well I heard there was a second baby that had been blown away as well. (It is INCREDIBLY windy here in Iowa today). So I went outside to put the two babies together at least. I couldn't find the other baby, but I did find the parents. So I put the baby out in the middle of the play area...
