Recently there has been a mold outbreak in my tank. At first I thought the java moss that died in my tank was growing back, but black like fuzz has been growing on surrounding plants and little lines of mold has started to grow. What should I do?
I’ve gotten into gardening, and today, when I realized that my grid-grown sunflower saplings roots where weak, I decided to move them to soil. I only have two, and I made the dumb mistake of trying to pull one of the saplings out, resulting in barely any roots left on it. The next one I decided...
I am trying hatch quail eggs, but it’s just not working out.
Here is all my sources of what I’ve done, and what I think is happening:
This is my incubator:
The temps and humidity’s iv’e been using:
1st attempt: 37 Celsius, 40-60 percent humidity
2nd attempt: Same thing
3rd attempt: 37...
Today my dad said he heard pecking in his office (our incubator is in the office) and I went to check. One of the eggs had a large crack on it, but I do have some concerns on it.
First of all, I can hear some pecking, but no peeping like usually, is that fine?
Second of all, it’s not cracking...
Today is day 22 in incubation. I have half bobwhite half cortinux quails and they haven’t hatched yet. All I know is that Cotinux quails usally hatch on day 18 and bobwhites day 23. Though my last hatch starting hatching day 24. I’m just a bit worried for my quails. Will they be fine? What day...
My eggs won’t hatch for another 9-12 days but I still want to be prepared 😅.
I’m hatching quail eggs, and I have a fairly large brooder so I want to find a cheap bedding for my chicks. I’m just wondering what would be the cheapest most durable bedding and where I can find it. Thank you very much!
My incubator has a alarm for when the temp and humidity goes to low or high, my temp is fine, but the humidity goes up and down and always wakes me up at night! I will give you the incubation info so you can see what I’m doing wrong.
- My quail eggs take up only a eighth of the space in the...
The eggs on the right is the once I’m concerned for:
is this egg to small or just simply a smaller egg that won’t change its chances at hatching? The 2 other eggs are simply just a example of its size.
yesterday my new incubator came in: a Mmjj Digital Fully Automatic Egg Incubator.
. Today is the first day of incubation, and my humidity sparked up to 75 percent because I added to much water. Since it’s the first day, I hope it didn’t affect their growth that much, or would it be worse? The...
Do you have a dog who chases birds? I have one, in a way. He doesn’t care about adults, but for some strange reason will take any chance to chase a juvenile one! He first injured a juvenile Grackle who we named willow, and she sadly died on the way to SOH (shades of hope) and the we got a...
This set up is a simple homemade project I though up and is perfect for newborn and growing up chicks.
You simply need a plastic container (circular) with a lid, scissors and masking tape!
1. Turn the plastic container upside down, and make a large circle on the bottom.
2. Around the sides of...
On day 2, my incubator broke. To save my eggs, I put the incubator still plugged in so I could see the temp in my brooder. It’s at a good temp, and it might be to late to ask this but are my eggs okay? I’ve made sure their humid enough to. 😕
Hi there! This is my first article, so I’m pretty excited to write this! Humidity and heat, 2 most important things with incubating. If you have a broody hen, leave it to her she is the expert, but it’s up to you in the incubator.
Now, some incubator have humidity control, but some don’t, and...
I’ve been stumbling so much with raising quails. I’ve made mistakes with putting the incubators tempurture to high (40 plus degrees eek!) not cleaning my incubator, I even loss a adult male quail. Well, almost adult.
When I heard about backyard chickens, I secretly beamed with joy. This would be...
