    Please help me Need Help Fast Please PICS INCLUDED

    you're doing great! I've done this a few times before, about 4 times in total... i just couldn't keep my hands off. Two of my attempts (the most recent ones) were horrible though.

    Quote: Yea, i could get to Saratoga.. do you mean to say that they'll be ordered in the springtime? Do you have an approximate ordering time frame? And I'd be willing to take 2 black, 2 silver and 3 or 4 wheatens if no one else wants any..

    Hi!! I just saw your post... i'm interested in a few!! I'd like the rainbow.. maybe two each of black, silver, wheaten? If that's possible... I live in Hillsborough (San Mateo County) but I go to school in Berkeley, so I could meet here or there!

    Help! Premie chicks?!

    well for anyone who cares, the poor guy died. I didn't know what to do, but i found from another website that it was probably a bacterial infection and now all my eggs are goners. :'(

    Help! Premie chicks?!

    well yeah, a few hours ago i resented cutting off the yolk, but it was stuck to the bottom of the incubator and the baby was stepping on it and it was pulling out it's insides. . . i didn't know what else to do.

    Help! Premie chicks?!

    I have two chicks that have hatched.. and the first had not absorbed the rest of its yolk... i was worried about what would happen when it floundered around, so i cut it off and made a gauze diaper with neosporin to help it heal a bit.. so far that chick seems to be doing well, i've also been...

    Made a mistake

    i just did the SAME EXACT THING, only I got quail in one bator, chicks in another... i had a stinker in the quail bator and with 30+ eggs i wasnt sure which one was the culprit... i picked em all up and sniffed em and took out the two smelliest and something in my head told me to chip away...

    'New-to-me' Button Quail color

    YES. He'll look beautiful. other than that, i have no idea... I'm waiting anxiously for my babies to hatch (any day now!!) P.s... did he get picked on? in the second picture he's got a little wound?

    What does it mean when you can't see through an egg when candling?

    just a question to clarify on what Grillo said... if you can see the airsac as obviously illuminated and everything else is shadowy, that's a GOOD egg?? and if you put the candler where the air sac should be and don't see ANY illumination, that's a BAD egg? thanks for the help!

    The BEST brooder thermometer... NO JOKE!

    i've got one of those and they're pretty fantastic, but they only tell the surface temp, so not good for incubators!
