    Can you incubate at 95 degrees 60% humidity?

    I saw this post and I have similar problem. I thought I had a good thermometer, but I must not have. My eggs seemed to be developing well until day 18 when I saw little movement. I found my adjustable thermometer and tried it and it seems the temp has been closer to 95-96 the whole time...

    Any experienced OPINIONS on GQF Mfg. #3018 Thermometer/Hygrometer?

    I wish a knowledgeable person had answered your question as I to am looking for the same info. Here is a web page that may help. I think I'm going to try a cotton shoelace on the end and see if it works. I saw this on you tube. http://www.gqfmfg.com/PDF/3018%20instructions.pdf

    Silkie thread!

    Can anyone explain the color "blue"? I have been told some black with gray are blue and that white with gray are blue. I do not want to advertise blue if that is not true. I'm very confused. The only one I'm sure about is the partridge.

    Silkie thread!

    Thank you for the information. I never knew there was so much to learn about Silkies. They are so cute and tiny. Our power went off for about 10 minutes tonight and they cried and cried until I put a flashlight in their box and covered it. When the power came back on one was curled up to the...

    I need some help and advice. I have tried for 3 years to hatch peafowl in an incubator because my hen would not sit. I only had success with 2 chicks. Last month my peacock , who had already shed his train, died suddenly and we only had one peahen so we let her out of the pen for the first...

    Broody hen

    I kept thinking of posting this question for a few days, but just did it this morning. Then I went back outside and there she was off nest and stretching. None have hatched, but 1 is beginning to crack the shell. Now the real waiting begins!
