    New coop!! Ideas? Suggestions?

    This is the coop I made for my 10 bantams and it’s on wheels so you can move it around. In this country you can’t let any wild birds mix with your chickens at the moment due to avian influenza and I’m only 10 miles away from an outbreak. I use Herras fencing wrapped with smaller gauge wire and a...

    What Breed of Chickens Do You Have?

    I have a small flock of 3 Pekins. 1 Silkie and a little black Rosecomb bantam. Hopefully will be getting some eggs to hatch and will get some Rosecomb and a couple of polish Silkie eggs to put in incubator.

    Yes I keep coming back to that king suro but didn't want a unit that could do 20 eggs but it does look like a good unit.

    Rcom pro 10

    Good to hear thank you for your opinion it is swaying me towards a brinsea as it is a name that people know. Honestly think I'm going to end up flipping a coin on this one as I am going around in circles lol. Have heard great reviews about both brands. As I only see me using the incubator a...

    Thank you, I have spoken with Brinsea England yesterday afternoon as I'm across the pond from you and am torn between the Mini II Advance model but I really like the built in candler on the Rcom pro 10 and there's only 15 pounds difference between the price here in the UK and a candler on its...

    Rcom pro 10

    Do you know if the Rcom pro 10 would stop turning the eggs like 3 days before hatch date like the brinsea mini advance does. I presume that the pro would considering it has different bird profiles. I have looked at their website and can't see anything regarding it for this model.
