    My Dove Family

    It hatched March 26th, a Saturday, so the day I posted it was actually, 16 days. I marked the date down on the calendar. Couldn't forget that date since my chicken eggs hatched the day before, on the 25th....so no, it's not over three weeks old. Quote:

    though I've only had two hatches to speak of, I've let them get almost completely dry (about 4-5) hours and into the brooder they go...but if you see the baby panting, go ahead and give it some relief by putting it in the brooder.... Quote:

    What One Do I Buy

    I went for it...was sitting on the fence about which one to get, sportsman or dickey....I went with the Dickey - figured it has great reviews and it's cheaper...only downside - THREE weeks for delivery! Guess I'll have to sit on my hands and try to hatch my hands.

    Nice pups, nice chicks and REALLY nice Sportsman! I'm currently torn between Dickey and a Sportsman.

    When to take the chicks out of the incubator?

    As long as my brooder is nice and warm they go into the brooder. This amounts to 4-5 hours in the bator after hatching and they're not completely dry but they're okay and seem to do well.

    thermastats for LG

    I can only give my experience and because this is the first time I've used it, it may not mean much...BUT, I am currently testing out a Zoo Med ReptiTemp 500r - a thermostat reptile keepers use - and I am really kicking myself for not having bought it before doing my last hatch....It is working...

    Whats in your incubators?

    Just came off a hatch and currently have two white dove eggs in the bator. Once you hatch, you just can't stop!!!!!!
