    Questions About Dickey's Brand Cabinet Incubators

    Hello all, I'm looking into purchasing a cabinet incubator that can hold about 200-300 eggs. I've pretty well narrowed down the choices to a Dickey's incubator or the GQF 1502. I'm sure the Brinsea is great too but they cost significantly more for what I believe is a cabinet if equal quality to...

    8 Week Easter Egger Mixes - Pullets or Cockerels?

    Hey all, I need to sell some of my eight week old birds and I'd like to know their genders for selling. I can guess on many but some have me confused. They're mixes (EE roos over EE, OE, Welsummer and Marans hens) and some have weird combs that I'm not even sure if they're pea combs or not. I'd...

    Final count on my poults is six. 12 eggs, 11 fertile, 9 locked down, 7 hatched, 6 survived. Of the 2 that didn't hatch, one never pipped internally and I have no clue what happened because it's yolk was almost fully absorbed. Another pipped low on the backside of the egg opposite of the lowest...

    I have two golden laced wyandotte boys who need homes. I'm in Garrett County, but frequently travel to Anne Arundel. I know it's still a bit out of your range but I figured I'd still give you the offer in case you don't have any luck!

    Well, despite my being infinitely behind on posts, I figured I'd provide an update. Only 1 of my 24 shipped EE eggs with bad air cells made it to lockdown and since it's on day 23 with no sign of life, I'm going to assume this little bugger is done for too. It'll be the last time I get eggs from...

    This morning is day 6.5 for the 24 EE/OE eggs and 12 royal palm turkey eggs I set so I went ahead and candled to see what's going on. The EE eggs were shipped and arrived with nearly destroyed air cells again (most roll freely around the egg) but at least 11 of them are currently developing...

    Just throwing this out there in case anyone is interested! I hatched a handful of wyandottes back in December and ended up with more roosters than pullets. I'm still trying to find new homes for 2 gold laced wyandotte cockerels, they're about 3.5 months old now and turning into handsome little...

    Well, I can see that I'm already super far behind in posts! 24 EE/OE eggs and 12 Royal Palm turkey eggs went into the incubator on Friday, April 1st. Our new coop is almost complete, just need to add some roosting bars and put wire around the run. Progress has been a little slow on it since one...
