    What are these clowns doing??

    They are emptying their waterer onto the bedding every 12 hours it seems. This didn’t happen when they were first born.

    Help,bought wrong(different) feed.

    I accidentally bought DuMor chick starter instead of Manna Pro chick/game bird starter. The GA and ingredients are similar. Is it okay if I don’t transition? Here’s the pics of the bags. (The one with a separate pic of the Ga and ingredients is Manna Pro)

    Where to purchase?

    My aunt lived beside a family that kept peafowl for decades. She want to purchase some,but the only place I can find is cackle hatchery. They ship live chicks and I’m a little weary of that. I have only incubated quail chick eggs,but Is that something you can do with peafowl? Thanks!

    Incessant chirping in brooder

    Valentines Day chicks

    Happy Valentines Day! I woke up to a chick! It’s pretty noisy on/off. Does this mean it’s in distress? Or just in a “tf am I?” state after breaking out.

    Lockdown/hatching ?

    Today is day 14 for my eggs. I did an amateur/fast as possible candling. 15/50 appear to be duds,and 1 cracked at some point (either during shipping or I did it and didn’t notice). I’d say it took me 10 minutes. I panicked when adding water. Currently humidity is 90% lol,but I assume it will...

    Dumb question

    Good morning! I have some quail eggs that are due to go into lockdown this Wednesday. I am setting up the brooder in our storage building. Is there a way/product I can check temp with wifi? I don’t cant running out there constantly,but I’m paranoid and didn’t know if there was an easier...

    Humidity Drop while gone.

    So I left Wednesday with family and came back today (Saturday). When I left, my incubator’s humidity was at 55% on Day 1. When I got back,it was at 21%. My circumstances weren’t ideal for freshly set eggs...but I’m wondering if my 50 eggs will suffer from that? Temp has been steady at 99.5.

    Its happening! (Kind of)

    I just put my first Jumbo eggs from Myshire farms in the incubator. They’re huge! I couldn’t both rows on each quail with the exception ofa few small ones. I can’t get my incubator temps right where I want them. Usually 99-100,but atp I’m just hoping for the best. I wish I got the Hova-Bator...

    Like my cage (so far)

    It now has a divider down the center. So it will be 6 cages,each 4’ in length,12”high,24” deep. The space between levels is for pull-out trays.

    Feeding

    I googled and searched the forums,but am still confused on afew things. I saw “Chick Grit” on tractor supplies website. Do chicks really need their own special grit? I’m fine with that. Just hadnt heard mention of it until browsing TS’s website. What’s your preferred brand/line for chicks and...
