    Review by 'gcarmack2001' in article 'The Great Big Giant Marek's Disease FAQ'

    I found this article very informative. I often panic whenever any of my chickens get sick, always expecting the worst, but this article helped ease my worries about panicking.

    NPIP CERTIFICATION

    I live in Arkansas and would like to shipping eggs within the state. I am not interested in shipping out of state. I'd love to become NPIP certified but until I get the money I can't. Anyway, can I ship eggs within the state of AR without an NPIP license? I've scoured the internet and nothing...

    Shipping Hatching Eggs

    I read through the article and it didn't say anything about having to have a tested flock to ship eggs/chicks within the state. Does that mean AR doesn't require you to have a license to ship in-state?

    Shipping Hatching Eggs

    I know this discussion is old, but doesn't anybody know the regulations for shipping eggs in the state? I have several people in the state I live in that would like my to ship, but I dont have an NPIP license. Do you have to have an NPIP/health certificate to ship in state?

    LITTLE GIANT INCUBATOR TIPS

    I have been wanting to get a different brand other than the LG because of the trouble I've had, but my local Atwoods only has LG in stock and I can't afford to order. I'm hoping the circulated one does better. It's currently holding the temp a lot better than the still air, but I've only got one...

    LITTLE GIANT INCUBATOR TIPS

    ...good hatch rates, but this year most of mine are dying early in the egg. I keep the humidity between 45%-50% and have been keeping the temp at 101*-102* Unfortunately, the incubator has a tendency to spike during the night, so I've been lowering the temp to 98*-99* before I go to bed and am...

    WHICH IS WRONG AND WHICH IS RIGHT?

    ...thermometer) and put it in the LG with my other thermometer (which I have found very accurate) and calibrated. The newer thermometer read 96* whenever the other read 99.5*, so I wrote that down and kept the incubator at the 96* mark on the new thermometer. I recently had a lot of my eggs die...

    Partridge Silkie Chick?

    I bred a Black Silkie rooster (first picture) to a Splash Silkie hen (second picture) and knew I was supposed to get a Blue Silkie. Instead, I got one that looks like the last picture except darker, which makes me think it came out as a Partridge? Or is it going to change colors as it gets...

    Review by '' on item 'Little Giant Still-Air Incubator'

    ...drop, or do both in a matter of seconds. DO NOT TRUST THE TEMP ON THE DIGITAL SCREEN, it definitely doesn't match the inner temp. It might say 99.5*, while the inner temp says 102*, so make sure not to fry or freeze your eggs. I have to spray the eggs because water leaks through holes in the...

    Little Giant table top incubators set the standard for table top incubating with the built-in digital electronic thermostat with temperature and humidity readout. It uses THERMAL AIR FLOW, where the radiant heat tube gently warms the inside of the incubator, air, and eggs. The Thermal action of...

    HOW LONG CAN YOU STORE EGGS BEFORE NEEDING TO BE PUT IN THE INCUBATOR?

    I've been wanting to collect a week's worth of eggs and put them in the incubator all at the same time so my chicks will be hatching around the same time. Unfortunately, that means some eggs will be stored for about seven days before being put in the incubator. How long can eggs be stored before...

    TURN EGGS BEFORE PUTTING THEM IN INCUBATOR?

    I've been in 4H for several years, and when I first got into chickens one of the colleges that breeds/raises chickens would donate hatching eggs to the 4H kids. Well, last year was the last year they did that, so this year the kids have been disappointed, as they always show the chicks that...

    ANTIBACTERIAL EGG WASH

    Has either of these things been tested to see if they keep the chicks from catching diseases (mycoplasma, etc.) that the hen had?

    HOOP CHICKEN PEN

    Also, how would you fix it where the wind couldn't blow in on the roosting chickens underneath the tin/tarp? We have frigid winds here in the winter and that's always our main concern.
