So over a week ago I ordered more jersey giant chicks (6) to add to my established flock. I have 4 and they are all hens surprisingly! I called yesterday and the day before because the hatchery only ships monday and Wednesday for live chicks and I finally received tracking yesterday. I saw the...
I just received my GQF cabinet incubator for my quail. I had them in another incubator that was turning and stayed at 99.5 F and 45% humidity up until now. They are now in a hatching tray in the new incubator which is at 99.5-100 F and pushing 60% humidity. I had to toss two eggs already that...
We are thinking of building this coop (). I am attaching pictures of our shed where it will go. We plan to use autozone pans on the bottom and pull them out to clean the poop off. We were thinking of putting in insulation and linoleum flooring with a drain hole to spray off if we needed to, or...

Thank you! I think I'll try vent checking them if I have a one that is questionable. I have 5 eggs in the incubator. Hoping I didn't disrupt them too much and they keep laying. I need more females to have enough to feed our family. :fl
