Yeah this was a steal for the price I got it for. I had given up on hathcing cause my rates were so low in a little giant. But I got lucky and found this lady selling it on craigslist so lucky me now I have a cabinet incubator. Thanks, Tony

Well I guess im lucky because I have it all set-up at my house and the beep is very low and you can barely hear it so thats good. The inside is nice and clean so I will probly just doing the spray with the mist bottle. I got the clear door the regular door and 16 quail racks to and the manual...

I didnt even think of that but how should I go about disinfecting it without breaking anything? I have read everywhere about that alarm noise but im not sure how to turn it off. Did you turn yours off if so can you please tell me how you did it? Thanks, Tony

Oh very nice set-up those are pretty much the same thing as the 1502 QGF. This will be a good learning period for me cause the most chicks ive ever hatched or had at once was 100 or so which was a big mess but some how made it through. Cant wait. Thanks, Tony

This is gonna be a big step up from what I have now which was a Little Giant still air incubator so I will be able to x3 my eggs at once and hopefully have lots of good hatchs. Ive never heard of Dickeys but are they still air or do they have a fan in them aswell? Lol to the incubators and...

I have looked online at the pics already and she has sent me pics so we will see if its what she says it is. And the idea of asking her to keep it running sounds really smart so thanks for that tip and I am most probly gonna end up having it set-up in my living room aswell. I have read that they...

Well I am getting a 1502 QGF incubator from a lady on saturday for 350 and I would like to know what to look for. I was wondering if I should look for common problems that they have. If it all goes well I am wondering where should I place the incubator and how do I set it up for incubating...

Never heard of boudin sausage but will look into it. I was talking to my grandma and she said she would love if I could save the lard for her to cook so it looks like im going to have to find a way to scald him. I want to keep the lard for her because we are a cuban family and she talks about...

He turns 8months now on Novemeber 13.

Yes he did his thing with the two girls and hes been casterated for the last 6weeks. There is 2x8 seperating them which is a wall of there pen so I guess im good there.

Thats very true about cutting the hog into those pieces good advice. The 3 helpers will be doing the stuff that I need to learn like how to take the intestines cutting the heart after shooting him and just helping move the pig around. They offered to help so they arent really expecting meat but...

I will be the one doing mostly everything and the 3 guys which are all family will be the ones telling what to do. I will most like just cut into 4 large pieces and from there decide on cutting everything else into nice cuts. Thanks, Tony

Well if skinning is easier then that the way i will probaly go. I am in Naples Fl and this time of year the temps are droping into the 60s and 50s at night but during the day its still 70ish. So is that weather good enough for curing or should I wait till a little further into winter? I am...

Well im going to start this off by saying I have had a great time raising my own pork. I got 2 hampshire piglets a male and a female at 4weeks old in April and the time has come. The time has come for Mr.Porker to visit my family in other words time to butcher. This is going to be my first time...

The pig pen hes in know is 24x19 and theres other pigs with him. I am going to be adding onto it with the panels and he will still be able to see and rub noises with the other pigs. The pigs get turned loose everyday into a 6acre field and come in at night with feed. Thanks, RIRs
