I just received my bottle in the mail yesterday. My flock is in a fenced 1/3 acre that has areas of low ground and we have had a lot of rain lately. Some of the birds solely drink from the puddles and I can't risk them not drinking the medicated water. I have around 70 birds and most of them...

Good luck!!!

Cute!

I just had 6 guinea eggs and 2 turkeys in mine for a couple days while my chickens hatched in my other incubator. Once hatch was over, I moved turkeys back to the big incubator, they are due in 5 days. I think turning 30 eggs in a tiny incubator would be a nightmare lol.

I didn't use the cooling option. Only one of my turkeys hatched. She is doing well. I hatched 3 out of 4 developed guineas a few weeks ago. And I put them in a secure pen outside but apparently not secure enough and a coon got them last week. :'( So I have more guinea eggs in there and they...

Amen! The only reason hemp became illegal is because the big logging corporations took over this country and bought out the politicians. America's rules and regulations are such a joke. Only based on what makes politicians and corporations more and more money, nothing regarding the best interest...

Only one out of my four made it. Two stopped developing early. The one that made it came 3 days early and the turner was still in and I didn't add any water yet. So I scrambled to get it set up and the last one never completed hatch. It didn't pip and didn't look shrink wrapped so I'm not sure...

I got a BMA for my birthday (but it was what I wanted). I like having the ability to do a small amount of eggs at a time. Right now I am only concerned with slowly growing my flock. I like that this gives me that option. I can turn it on and walk away for the next couple weeks. My first hatch...

Someone please take my angora buns because I can't care for them anymore. :( The male is white and is fixed, the female is brown. They are from the same litter, about 18 months old.

I have my 4 eggs in the Brinsea Mini Advanced and the auto turner can't turn them. All four are developing and I have 10 days left!

How'd your hatch go?

Well 5 babies hatched. One is still in the egg but I think it's gone. I lost a baby yesterday during hatch when I intervened too much. :( Dumb move, I got nervous but I shouldn't have tried to help. A few days prior to hatch, one of the eggs was kicked out and was cold. When I opened it, the...

I finally got them set tonight. Fingers crossed for a couple turkeys to develop. I'm mostly worried about the oldest egg since it was hatched 4/17 but the rest should be ok.

Momma will sleep with her babies until they are old enough to be on their own. But if you have your nesting boxes high, I suggest you make an area on the floor for the momma and babies. I made a box out of a plastic bin for my broody hen and her nest. The babies will try to climb out of the high...

Starla, I would not let your babies with the big hens. Unless you have a broody hen, which it doesn't sound like it, your older hens will attack the babies. Depending on your set up you might have to wait a few months before introduction. Tatiana, your babies might be too old for your hen to...
