    Low fertility in my hatching eggs PROBLEM?

    I would put the older rooster in with the 3 or 4 hens as he has a good chance of breeding them succesfully. I would let the younger rooster go with the big group of hens, he will probably jump at the chance. If oldie isn't doing his job, it's time for the youngin to get his chance.

    Hovabator Genesis Owners BEWARE!

    I can't tell you guys how disappointed I am, it looks like I'm completely screwed here. GQF has brushed me off and will not be helping despite this being a known problem with these incubators. They admitted that they are aware of this problem but yet won't do anything to help. I do understand...

    Hovabator Genesis Owners BEWARE!

    Our house temps were 59.9 or somewhere around there for sure. Didn't think to check the room temp but yeah it wasn't too warm in the house, 15C or so. Interesting about them not working well below 70 degrees. The built in hygrometer was saying 75-80% humidity the first time before it died but...

    Hovabator Genesis Owners BEWARE!

    hello everyone... If you own a Hovabator Genesis BEWARE. I had bought mine brand new and had only used it a few times when it died on me during the last few days of a hatch. What happens is the humidity screws with the computer somehow and the temp all of a sudden sets itself for 59.9F. The last...

    Not sure if this worked!Updated pictures and info 5-2-14! What are we?

    Does the blue bird have dark legs? She really looks like a blue ameraucana pullet that doesn't have muffs. Whatever breed she is that is a girl for sure. The little E

    Condensation Problem in Hovabator Genesis 1588 Digital Version--Fluctuating Temps

    The same thing just happened to me but instead of the temps soaring up, the temps are going way down. They just keep declining and the little red light that is usually on is off. I had to get my other extremly old incubator running and I'm struggling to bring it up to temp. I do not have high...

    OMG! My HOVABATOR Genesis Just MALFUNCTIONED midway through a hatch! WHAT TO DO

    my almost brand new Hovabator Genesis just stopped working midway through a hatch. thankfully I did have a really old incubator laying around and I got the eggs in there. This is only my third hatch in this thing! I can't believe this. I spent a lot of money buying it and no longer have the...

    Are my Lavender Orpingtons Pullets?

    gotcha. I hope they are pullets. it can be hard to tell at that age with the lav orps, at least in my experience. The ones my neighbor had seemed to grow real slow.

    Neighbor filed a warrant against me after she saw me with a camera yesterday!

    Get the game cam. IF they are throwing rocks at your coop that is just idiocy. What is that going to accomplish? idiots.

    Real Ameraucana causing confusion

    that's a roo. It looks all white. I would be asking the breeder what they think it is. it's definitely not a wheaten or any of the other colors they say they breed.

    Which Incubator to Get?

    You'll need two incubators to do what you are wanting to do... you can put in a hatch each week from your hen and then move the eggs to the other incubator which you will use as your hatcher. basicly you need to up humiditiy the last three days before the chicks hatch and the eggs must stop...
