Hi all I have a GQF 1502 cabinet incubator, and now I'm at that point where I'm doing staggered hatches and need a seperate reliable hatcher. Looking for input from others on if you own a GQF or Dickey Hatcher, and why you purchased it? GQF is probably more common, and parts maybe easier to...

Hello, We are looking to add some Dutch Hookbills, and more East Indie ducks to our group this coming spring. If anyone here sells hatching eggs for either of these two varieties please let us know. We can also do a trade if we have some hatching eggs you would like in return. Cheers! Zekii

Well I am totally stumped trying to incubate & hatch geese, I've been incubating & hatching chickens, ducks & turkeys and have never experienced the issues I've been having trying to hatch out some geese. Maybe since my adult geese are only a year old their eggs aren't the hardiest? This is...

26 turkeys I've been wintering over this year, so far they are all looking good, I am striving for longevity and a flock that can adjust to the hot & cold temps we get here in NH, so this winter has been a good test of cold hardiness. I have Midget whites, Narragansetts, and Jersey Buff turkeys...

Does anyone here web punch their ducks/geese to identify matings...etc? What do you use to web punch ducks? I have a small toe punch tool for chickens, but was thinking would need something larger to web punch ducks/geese, maybe an actually paper punch?

I built a couple chicken tractors, with attached coop, these are portable. I am going to use welded wire for the top & sides, but trying to decide what is best for the floor. I was thinking of something plastic coated..are the openings for plastic coated chicken wire to large for the chickens to...

I have a question in regards to membranes starting to dry towards the end of a hatch. We had a relatively normal hatch, 6 of the 11 eggs the poults were out, at that time the incubator was getting crowded with poults & egg shells. We decided to wait another 6 hours to see if the other 3 eggs...

We are getting some American Buff goslings this spring, and are starting to plan the Goose coop & area. We currently keep a small group of Welsh Harlequin ducks, and are wondering if Geese & Ducks can share the same coop, or would it be better to have separate quarters for the Geese? Anyone...

Seems to be alot of controversy regarding these two varieties of turkeys. I supposely have Midget Whites, and so far my weights seem to be true to the variety. Has anyone determined any further definitive information on how to determine the difference between these two varieties other than...

Anyone here use turkey saddles for their breeding hens? If so did you buy them, and where? I didn't hatch enough hens this year, and my tom to hen ratio will be 1:1 so I am thinking the hens might need some protection during breeding season.

Looking for some ideas/hints...what others are using for bedding inside their turkey coops? My coop as a solid painted wood floor, I covered with pine wood shavings...so far it is working ok, but not sure how long it will take before I need to remove the old bedding/replace or just add to...
