    Bought GQF Incubator- Isn't Working! Help

    Are Styrofoam Incubators Any Good?

    I started with a Hovabator and still have it and still use it. I have a turner and a fan. the temperature can be hard to get right but once you do, just keep it there. If the incubator gets too hot you can have problems. I had someone messing with the temperature while it was set in a nursing...

    Oxine for Cleaning Incubator

    It's two weeks until I set some eggs. Is Activate Oxine good to clean the bottom parts of the incubator to get an extra clean incubator?

    FDA Allows for Chinese Processing

    I'm betting they just have a big boat out in the ocean, international water, where they process the chickens. They do other commodities that way.

    What do I do?

    Can you just tell your neighbors what your plan is? Maybe they will put up with the crowing for a few more weeks.

    Is anyone using the Premier "heat plate" brooder for chicks?

    Getting the stink out of a chicken diaper

    Baking soda, peroxide and a little dish soap gets rid of most smells. Another option is to use dishwasher pods or something without bleach. This is what we use to get rid of cow manure.

    They all sound like wonderful ideas. I like #1 best but any should work.

    Do chickens lay on their sides?

    Aren't they funny. They look dead or like something is wrong. It shocked me the first time I saw my chicks doing this and at times I still wonder if something is wrong.

    How cold is too cold to let my girls into the run?

    If you look on the pest board you will find lots of info on raccoons and the damage they cause. It could be a skunk or a hawk too.

    Should I Bandage My Hens Wound?

    I use either Rooster Booster Pick No More or Blue Kote to cover the wound with something that covers the red color. Both of these smell bad to chickens so they do not pick on the wound.

    Can they really stay in the incubator 3 days?

    I would move it to a brooder with food and water, and add a stuffed animal for it to snuggle with. Have a fun trip.
