    Brinsea Octagon 20 Eco. Good, bad, ugly?

    Hello! I'm looking at buying the Brinsea Octagon 20 Eco (Manual). Our friend always let's us use her Brinsea Ovation 28, but we want to have our own incubator for the amount we hatch. Unfortunately! Her's is too far out of our price range. I'm curious to how well the item works, if the...

    Mealworm - Cleaning?

    I like things to be neat and clean, so I've been hand picking all the sheds and dried out potatoes/carrots/etc. on a semi-regular basis. If I don't clean it, how bad will it get? Is there a trick to cleaning out the sheds easier? I contemplated a vacuum from a far enough distance that the...

    Is the ‘huffing’ normal or an issue?

    My cockerel does what seems to just be some exhaling of air, but I’m not sure if it’s an issue or just him being too lazy to chirp? you hear it best at the end of the video when he kind of pecks at the long. Thank you!

    Is this Frizzle wing normal?

    I got this Frizzle over Facebook, and her toes are *super* long and twisted, and this is what her ‘wings’ look like. I’ve look at other frizzle images on google, and I feel this does not look right... We’ve had her for a bit now. Just wondering if we should refrain from breeding her or if she’s...

    Multiple Rooster Keeping

    We have a few breeds of chickens, and I’d like to keep a rooster of each to breed more later. I don’t like keeping birds locked up 24/7, and am wondering what are some setups and rotations you use to ensure each rooster can get out and enjoy your property, as well? I’m wanting minimum 5...

    How do I continue to keep this chicken social when they’re put outside with all the rest of the flock?

    I’ve been this guy out on a semi-regular basis to have one social and friendly chicken. We hatch 20-25 chicks, and I don’t have time to socialize them all, so I picked a favourite. Meaning he’ll probably be the first to die, because Murphy’s Law loves me. lol How do I make sure he stays social...

    Breeding Mealworm advice, please

    I read the file on here for breeding mealworms, and I loved the idea of not having to separate the different life stages! I bought 1,000 mealworms from someone, used a 5 gal, have a 10 gal ready for when they start reproducing. I’ve seen pupae several times, but have only seen a couple beetles...

    Help. Why is he doing this and what do I do?

    I don’t know how to post videos on this forum so I put it on YouTube. They’re 3 weeks old, eating crumble, have water and heat, and they’re on SPF pellets. I don’t like shavings for dust and stink. I noticed the noise when I came home from work, found out who it was and have been sitting with...

    I just picked up two, 2 week old serama mix chicks that I want to socialize and have enjoy coming out and being held, because oh my gosh, adorableness!

    Leave as is, or is there something I can do?

    We have some chicks currently hatching the incubator. One last nice, and a few pips since. We hoped to place some food in for the one from last night, and to check on the pip'd ones. After a few hours I've come onto the great internet to look into hatch times, and realize they can be quite wide...
