Awesome Brinsea Octogon 20 Advance with Auto Humidity pump and temp/humidity alarms. Preset!!! You should never have to even touch the digital display! Truly easy and works great!! (I just have my silkies doing all the work now. )
I've used it about 4 times, with great results. Gets up...
I've been googling for an hour, and cannot find any classes. I would really like to learn hands on, insteading of reading about it. I currently raise show/egg chickens, but want to process my own meat chickens. Thanks in advance for any info!
Hi, newbie here. What do you use to bring your chickens to show? Dog crates? Any tricks on what to bring to the show? Do I need to bring my own shavings and cups?
Hi There,
I've emailed quite a few folks, made some phone calls, and still can't seem to get the entry forms for the January Balado Park show in Hollister, and the show in Stockton. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
I've done a search, I know this question must be here, but I'm kind of frantic. (2nd hatch) I have 9 out of 10 that hatched yesterday, and there is one left that has a very small pip..............
Should I open the bator to get the others out? Or wait??????
I have the 2 week olds in their brooder in the barn, under lights. When I went out there, there are gnats going to town around the lights.............should I be worried about these?
Has anyone tried this? They took an old rusty metal shed (which I have), and took 2 walls down and made them screen, and put a screen door in. I emailed the magazine to see if they had directions for the building challenged, but it was just a picture sent in.
Anyone have any ideas how to...
I know, nothing going on! This is my first hatch - I've had to throw out quite a few - non fertile or scrambled by the Post Office. But this morning I saw one guy rocking and rolling in lockdown! So, I'm sitting there like an idiot on day 18 - I haven't even taken a shower yet or eaten today...
Do you take them all out at once - so you only open the top one time? I'm terrified of them getting cold! and, yes, this is my first time!
I've searched all the candling posts, (I think), but I need the dummies version, step by step
I did a search here, but don't see anything recent. I've done a google search, with no luck. I guess it needs locks for the door and a humidity pan. Thanks for any info!!
I'm dying to candle and take pictures.........Just put my eggs in. I have read on here that some folks say don't handle them much. Do you wear gloves? Do they get cold when you're doing that?
Dumb questions from a newbie!
Please help - I got my 1602 today, and I installed the optional fan, but now I can't figure out where the other wires are supposed to be! There is no wiring diagram that shows the wires close up - and I tried to follow the video from incubator warehouse but it didn't help! I think i undid...
Hi - I think I already need a 12 step program for this
I have assorted chickens - most of them rescued from other folks. Then I ran into a silkie roo that was running around the feed store getting beat up by the others. I asked to take him home, and he is the most amazing "lap" chicken. I...
She says the Hovabator I ordered is JUNK and that I'll kill all my eggs........
I've read so much on here, and I ordered the Hovabator with the turner and the fan and the thermometer/hygrometer.
I've read that people have used these successfully.
