I have a sportsman incubator and hatcher for sale they both have the upgraded acrylic doors. The incubator has the automatic waterer and has approx. 30 setting trays. The trays are for quail,duck, geese, turkey, and chickens. They both work perfectly and I love them but I have moved to town and...
I cannot seem to come up with a good name for my newly hatched emu chick, so I have decided to let my fellow BYC friends name it. I think its a girl but a good unisex name would be best. I want something that fits an emu. Not fred or amanda, not that they are bad names just not emu names. The...
Just curious if anyone else likes the challenge of hatching different species. So far I have hatched chickens, ducks, guineas, turkeys and most recently emus. I want to hatch ostriches and peafowl next.

How much difference is there in hatching goose eggs and other poultry? I'm new to the goose egg game and I'm going to se 9 tommorow. Any pointers and tips would be great.
Gonna set some african goose eggs tommorow. They are huge. I'm thinking that there is no way to do this with the turner. So it looks like hand turning is my only option. How many times a day will I need to turn them and how often? Any helpful suggestions would be great.
How long should new guineas be kept caged when relocated to a new home? I was considering buying some adults and was curious how long I would have to wait before I let them free range. Would three pairs be a good number to start with?
I have black copper marans chicks. These are feather legged. Parent stock originated from Jesse Bryant. I acquired these from Ruth right here on BYC last July (2009). I am located in central Kentucky and cannot ship. I will however drive to meet you if the distance is within reason. I will...
What breed should get? Seems that the silver is even rarer than the coronation. Would there be a market for the silver sussex and would it be as strong? Just curious. I have decided I am going to get one or both. Just looking for a little feedback.
I have had 5 chicks reach 28 days and either die before pipping or after. I am getting really frustrated. I dont know what I am doing wrong. The only successful one to hatch was one I got shipped and I got tired of watching them die so I carefully opened the end of the shell and carefully...
I have a narr. tom that has become very lethargic. He has acted this way for about a week now. There are no visible signs of illness or injury. He follows the rest of the turkeys around but he is moving way slower. He keeps his neck down and doesnt strut or gobble now. He usually follows the...
Ok, got home yesterday and all my turkeys are gone....all ten of em. I wistled and heard one gobble way off. I finally found them and walked them back home, however, one hen was missing. I dont think she would have wondered off without the rest. My question is could she be nesting somewhere...
