I currently have them in a large plastic box but as there getting bigger they don't have enough space till I get them in there coop which unfortunately doesn't have power I have tried sourcing an appliance box without much luck, why else do you think k would be suitable Thanks

Currently using pine shavings and its around 3x5ft with 18 chicks Really needing more space though but not sure what to house them in either until they are off the heat

Hi, We are changing the chicks nearly every day, but they are really starting to smell, is there anything that can be done to reduce this? Thanks very much

Hi, My quails are fighting with each other, what can I do to try and prevent this? Or should they be separated? Thanks very much

Hi Thanks very much and goodluck with your hatch :-) I have Buttons, Cortunix/Japanese quails at th e moment, and have a batch of chicks in at the moment testing out my new brinsea, I think most of the issues I have had are down to the chinese no name incubators, I am hoping things are...

Hi does anyone have the ovation 56ex? I was wondering if you fully open the vent on the top and if so how much and at what stage Thanks very much

Hi yes I checked them regularly now I have 3 thermometers/hygrometers in the incubator and they all read the same It is a Chinese no name incubator that I had these eggs in and the temperature is not stable compared to my new brinsea so I assume this has not helped :( Thanks very much

They were put in on 2nd if this month, I didn't candle at day 18 temps been 37.5 and humudity 45 on day 18 I stopped turning and increased humidity to 70 it looks like he has died and has not fully formed Only one has hatched and the other 10 have not :(

Hi I have 12 Rhode Island Red X Light Sussex Eggs which are on day 22 today, how long should i leave them? one has hatched and one other started trying to hatch yesterday but he seems to have stopped, there looks like a hard jelly on the egg, is this normal? Thanks very much

I couldn't see anything just strange how they were fine one minute then dead the next :(

its strange I had 3 out of 4 hatch from my own buttons, but ones I have ordered online have not been to good, I have some chicken eggs stuck in the delivery depot which I will have to pick up I am hoping I have a good time with these in the brinsea, unfortunately it is closed until tomorrow...

its such a shame as they were fine first thing this morning so not to sure what happened, they sure do :(

one unfortunately died this morning and another has a bad leg, they were fine up until being a week old this has happened, what tends to cause it?

Thats great :) how many have you got in there and what type?

Hi what types of hatch rates should get you expect when buying eggs mail order? and what else hinders there development? thanks
