I haven't set the incubators up in a few years. I finally decided to set them up and see what I could do again. This time it's from my own farm eggs, chicken and ducks. I am kinda excited. Maybe in a few days I will be when I candle them.
I am excited. I ordered and just received the new chicken nipples. This kind goes on the side of a bucket or container. It's along the same like as the ones that you can screw into the bottom of buckets but this goes on the side. I will post some pictures when I get it all set up. This weekend I...
I haven't been her for a while. Lost all my chickens last year due to neighbors dog, and some kind of other wild life. So I took a break for months to figure out if I wanted to start all over again. This spring I bought a few chicks and figure I would give it a go. Daughters boyfriend and I have...
I have an issue with this waterer. I have a 5 gallon bucket and it will not get water in the bowl. I have adjusted the nut up as high as I can get it. Still no water. I have no idea what to do.
I could just kick myself. So I had 2 incubators going. They were a few days a part on setting. So I candled my eggs..90+ and thought that I had a lot of eggs not developed. So I take my eggs out that looked bad when candled and start to open them to see what I could see. Egg#1 chick on day 14...
Quick question. I bought eggs to incubate. As I candled them I noticed some of the shells had some clear spots. I don't think that's a good thing. Am I wrong? They didn't look like there was any development. Also the person. Bought them from.. Should I mention-if the shells are like that, they...
Hope this works. He is a picture of some of my babies..
The mom with the smaller babies she hatched one the other 3... She quit laying on them so I brought them in and hatched them. She is taking real good care of them.
I am glad I found this forum. I have royal palm turkeys. I have 3 adults and 9 babies with 6 more hatching soon. I really like looking at what everyone else has.
Well I set 51 eggs in the bator on july 2 and be setting more eggs july 5. Of course they are ones I bought and are a barnyard mixed. Nice colored eggs too. This doesn't include my turkey eggs that mommy didn't want to sit any more when one baby hatched so I have one that hatched this morning...
Thanks for letting us know. I have wondered the same questions when I have incubated my eggs. Even ones from my own chickens don't hatch at even 80%. I will keep trying.
Over the weekend I ordered some eggs. I needed a new incubator and ordered one. Well I go to set up the older one and get the temp set. I know to check it and I noticed it wouldn't get above 80. I turned it up all night long and still the temp wouldn't get above 80. So now I know why my hatch...
