    chukar hatchlings

    hello! i recenlty hatched out some chukar. I ended up with 18 of them. I know I dont want to keep them all and I was wondering what they usually go for if sold? I am in ct and have not been able to find any prices to compare them too. anyone ever buy these birds?

    dirty eggs

    so i got some local duck eggs to hatch today. I never wash my eggs before incubating but these seem pretty dirty. wondering if their is another way to clean them or if i should just leave them alone?

    recomendations please

    I have heard a lot of good things about the brinsea they dont seem to have a large egg capacity (at least the ones ive seen people use) but maybe that is a good thing for me LOL

    Does anyone know where I can get the old style body of a Genesis 1588?

    i went to the local pet store and the fish department had plenty of styro boxes to give away. I took out the parts from my hova bator (after melting it next to the wood stove in a power outage LOL) and put everything in the styro works great!!! I have hatched quail, chickens and I have duck eggs...

    recomendations please

    hello everyone! I love hatching eggs and I have used a hova bator a couple times and built 2 incubators ...one out of an aquarium and one out of a styro cooler both work great and i am currently using them. However i would like somethin easier to control and more sturdy. I have 2 boys a baby on...

    when to candle?

    I am a candle-a-holic LOL I have some pics of almost every day when ive done incubation before! haha i know its better for the eggs not to be handled so much but I cant resist wanting to see them grow!

    when to candle?

    I have duck eggs in the bator ...magpies, cayugas and sweedish. I really want to try not to handle the eggs and was wondering what other people do for candleing. Do you candle more than once or wait until day 25 before moving them out of the turner? Thank you!
