Help! Humidity keeps dropping in incubator
If you are hatching Coturnix quail, you have just a few more days to go to find out. They are pretty tough and you could have a good hatch. If moisture is condensing on the insides of the incubator, the humidity is too high. You can use the water bottle with nozzle (supplied with the... -
Oyster Shell - Free Choice?
Depending on the container you have the oyster shell in, they can waste quite a bit. It is recommended to free feed instead of rationing it. The laying hens need it, but the roos do not. If the hens do not get enough calcium, their egg shells will be thin and break easily. -
Help! Humidity keeps dropping in incubator
I have the HHD brand of Chinese 48 egg incubator, which is probably the same as yours. Do not trust the humidity display. Mine reads about 20% low, and also will not display below 20% (i.e. a real humidity of less than 40% will display 20%). I use 2 additional humidity meters to get a more... -

clip quail's wings?
They have wing feathers by a week old, and can (will) jump straight up and out of a tote box. A screen top will be required to keep them in. -
Normal cere....?
I use a similar feeder - rabbit feeder with 1x2 inch wire inside. I have occasionally had birds with some blood across the bridge of their nose. I figured they hurt themselves on some of the sharp edges of the feeder or wire. It usually heals up and does not leave a bump as in your pictures... -

I had a Coturnix youngster in the brooder that sat a lot. One if its legs would not straighten out. It would shuffle over to the water, then shuffle over to the food, spending the day with it's head in the feeder. As it grew older, both knee joints swelled up. I left her in the brooder when... -
Love Bird Hatched 2 Quail
The original post didn't come through properly. I think I had the picture too large. My son has a Love Bird that layed a couple of infertile eggs, then went broody. I gave him a couple of fertile quail eggs to place under her. She started sitting on the quail eggs late April 4, and they... -

I could not find any technical information about the LG 7300. The Chinese (HHD manufactured) incubator uses a 12 VDC fan and 110 VAC to the 80 watt heater. The controller can briefly handle more than 80 watts, since the PTC heater draws higher wattage when it is cold. I found that the...- GeneP
