    OLD GQF 1202 - noisy fan motor?

    I recently acquired what appears to be a first-gen 1202. I am trying to give it a good shakedown before testing it out with actual eggs and it's making a noise that I think I've diagnosed properly. I am hoping folks who have more experience with particular setup can chime in. With that much...

    Brower 845 Egg Turner/DIY Turner Ideas

    I was recently gifted a Brower 845 Incubator. I've downloaded the manual, verified that it works, looked up spare part sources, etc. Thus far I have been unable to find ANYTHING on the optional turner that was available with these. I am wondering it anyone has pictures, sketches, literature...

    Food Label Dummy - Help Please!

    We've been prepping for our ducklings to arrive in a few weeks and need to decide on a feed. I know that ducklings need 20-22% for the first two weeks (for optimum growth, per Storey's Guide), and that the vitamins and minerals are important. I've not seen a full breakdown of various quantities...

    Breed Info - Metzer vs Storey?

    We're looking at getting our first ducks sometime in the coming weeks. After searching the forum quite a bit it seems like most folks recommend Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks for info. Many folks also seem to point people to Metzer Farm's website for info. My quandary is that these two...

    Hello from the dry side of WA!

    Hi all - The wife and I have been wanting backyard chickens for some time now and have finally decided to pull the trigger this season! In looking through the various breeds and their requirements I stumbled across the idea of having ducks instead. Though messy, they seem like really hardy...
