    Our first hatch using an incubator!

    Thank you! Wait until they get bigger, they can make some noise. I had some problems when I first started last month. I ended up buying the fan kit and automatic egg turner. The fan kit has helped keep the temperature constant. Good luck in the future.

    Our first hatch using an incubator!

    Well after 26 days we had 5 of our 6 guinea hen eggs hatch. I was getting worried, they started external pipping the morning of day 25 and it took them about 36 hours to hatch. I have attached some pictures. My girls love them...

    Any good thermometers out there?

    I think one of my problems is I'm using a still air incubator and as you know the temperature is not uniform. I think I'm going to buy the circulated fan kit for the incubator and hopefully this will allow me to maintain a uniform temperature.

    Any good thermometers out there?

    I just bought my first incubator and have about 25 eggs. I have three thermometers and they range from 96-102. Do they make one specifically for incubators?

    Determining the sex of my Silkies?

    I was given a pair of Silkies over the winter. I thought I had a boy and girl however my hen started crowing recently and now I'm not sure. Anyway can you take a look at these pictures and help me. The first two are of my "hen" and the last one is my rooster. Thank you.
