    Cabinet Incubators

    We use a Dickeys cabinet that has 3 trays for incubation and 1hatching tray. We also have 2 styrofoam bators that we use for hatcher as sometimes we will be hatching a hundred + eggs. Our cabinet has definitely increased our success rate due to being more stable temps and humidity.

    New to raising Kentucky Bourbon Reds

    All of my bourbons started laying in April the year after they were hatched. We get about 4 a week from each hen. We incubate all the eggs. The ones that we have let the turkeys hatch dont seem to survive long.

    Need HELP to identify turkey chick breed!!

    My Narragansett poults like like your darker one but so do my easterns although they are darker. Can't help with the white ones. Bourbon reds are usually yellow with a buff head and wings.

    Can I brood Turkeys, Chicks, Ducks, and Guineas together?

    We hatch out 70+ poults every spring. They always get raised with chicks. They get warm days on the grass at 2 weeks. I have not had poult losses any higher than chick losses.

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    We also have 7 acres of woods but the chickens don't venture there. Now the turkeys love to go in the woods.

    Winter for us is very mild. Summer hurts more. Where do you get opaque tarps?

    Hoop Houses -Plus and Minuses

    8x12 the coop is 4x8. I use a reflective padded insulation under the tarp this make them last a lot longer. Also make sure they are tight. It is just over 6' down the center.
