My sons friend brought over his incubator and eggs for me to hatch for him. He left eggs that pipped, but did not hatch in incubator for over a week. I cleaned it, bleached it, scrubbed it with soap and water, and let it sit in the sun all day. It looks super clean! I plugged it in, and OMG, it...
I need help with my incubator. I keep getting around a 50% hatch rate and cannot figure out why. I do better in my little giant, then my Brinsea. I set the humidity at 25-30 the first 18 days. Take it off the auto turner, and remove the rails on day 18, bump the humidity up to 65% give or take a...
Our neighbor boy lost his Plymouth Rock Columbian Bantam rooster last night. The rooster was part of his 4H project. I am hoping someone could suggest a Plymouth rock Bantams breeders in California, or if anyone sells good SQ or BQ hatching eggs. Thank you .
That eggs looks like it might have bacteria growing in it. I would wait for someone with more experience to give their input. I would not give up on the eggs yet. I have heard of temps going way up, or way down, and still hatching.
I am doing a test hatch in a Little Giant 9300 still air digital for a classroom. The temperature prob was at egg height, temps and humidity were fine. Then chicks started to hatch, and moved the plastic temperature prob, and the temperature went up to 105! I am working on getting it back down...
Yes!!! That would be the name. Thank you so much!!! They seemed like the sweetest little chicken. Do you think they would make a good showmanship bird for a 5 year-old? My older boys each have their breeds/lines, and she wants her own :).
My 5 year-old daughter fell in love with these adorable grey bantam, clean legged chickens at a show this weekend. They have the signature chipmunk cheeks of an Americana. I am getting a pair from the breeder this summer. Here is the catcher, for the life of me I cannot remember what they are. I...
I will be in the sales are (our 4-H group is running it this year), and in the Gem and Minerals building during the Junior showmanship. Come by and say hi...:).
I just got a Brinsea Octagon 20 with egg turner yesterday. I picked it up used, and it is in great condition. The temp was running spot on, then all the sudden it seemed to dip. This morning it was not even registering a temperature. Now it is running spot on. Any suggestions to what might be...
I am looking to get a Dickeys cabinet incubator. I want to avoid hatching in a Styrofoam incubator, because I am doing that right now and feel it is not good enough. I do not like that the cabinet can be a bit tricky if hatching and incubating. Thank you for the input, it had helped a lot :).
