    Help with mites! I’m not sure if they’re red mites or NF mites?

    I found Exzolt at this web-site https://pestiless.com/product/exzolt-50-ml-fluralaner-origianl/ It's pricey, but with eighty birds and six coops, I need something that will work in water. I hope this will help others with mite problems.

    Possible depluming mites?

    Oh my gosh, I had never heard of depluming mites. I have several (5) RReds that have been looking like yours. They are the only ones out of 60 laying hens. Should I treat the whole flock? thanks so much for sharing.

    Sand or deep litter for a warmer coop?

    I use both in different coops. I use sand in an old camper we converted into a chicken coop. It works great, but it must be play sand. If you use construction sand it is to dusty. The sand stays dry. Wet sand is no good! I also occasionally add sweet PDA stall refresher. Very easy to clean...

    Boy, it's hard to say. Grey foxes are smaller than red foxes. I'm going with grey.

    Brinsea Octagon 20 advance incubator review

    Both, and now I added a paper towel. It's still only at 49%. I candled and I think my air sacks are to big. I didn't discard any eggs, there were 3 that I wasn't sure of, but I thought I can get rid of them later.

    Brinsea Octagon 20 advance incubator review

    I decided not to use it this time. But I am wondering if I could start at anytime during incubation? Hope my candlleng goes well. I am having a hard time keeping the humidity at 45%.

    Brinsea Octagon 20 advance incubator review

    May 8th will be 28 days. I'm incubating turkey eggs. I plan to candle tomorrow. I only expect half to be fertile, as not all my hens were sitting for my tom. Do you use the cool down feature?

    Congratulations. So exciting. Baby turkey's have to be so strong to get out of their shell. When I got my first turkey egg I was amazed at how hard it was to crack open.

    So maybe I should open the vent all the way and add water to both channels? I do remember reading that keeping the vents shut for the first three days is ok, to get humidity up. But why wait. Not sure if I should be trying to achieve 45-50% humidity?
