    Brinsea Octagon 20 Advance EX

    I have recently decided to get out of the "Chicken Business" due to my upcoming second child. I purchased this Brinsea Octogon 20 Advance in July of this year and have since decided to sell it. It has only been used twice, and preformed like a dream each time. It comes complete with auto turning...

    What color is this Cochin?

    I bought this beautiful young Cochin hen (approx. 1 year old) as a "blue possibly lavender". Compared to my Blue Cochins, she looks almost light grey. But her head is kind of yellowish dark. So could she be a Lemon Blue? I was hoping for a Lavender, but if she's just a light blue I'm still...

    4 Dead in Shell Humidity too high or too low?

    Out of 8 that made it to lock down, 4 chicks are out and doing fine (and are very cute!), the other 4, when I opened their shells after I gave up, were fully formed, but dead. Based on this, was my humidity too high or too low. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Sideways or Upright ?!?

    I will be putting about 30 eggs in lock down tonight (Cochins and Frizzle Mixes), and I want to try using egg cartons for the first time. I have the cartons cut down and ready, but I'm wondering, do I keep the eggs pointy side down, or turn them on their sides? Any advice would be so greatly...

    Space eggs out? or fill 'er up?

    My turner hold 42 eggs, but I've been thinking about putting in eggs every other spot and only loading 21. Would this help my hatch rate, or am I just wasting valuable room? Its a HovaBator Genesis, forced air.

    Poor little Black Astralorp

    These 3 girls all hatched on 5-16-11. The Black Astralorp is so tiny in compared to the WPR and the BPR. Is this a "breed thing: or is she just simply tiny?

    How often do you candle?

    Sometimes I feel like I candle my eggs too often during the first 18 days. I only let myself candle 3 times this clutch (on day 13) and its killing me! I would look at them every night if I could. Do you guys think candling could hurt an egg, other then the obvious letting out heat and humidity?

    Covering Incubator

    I was wondering, does anyone cover their incubators with a blanket. I just covered my HovaBator 1588 Genesis with a light baby blanket, and it seems to be holding humidity and temps better. Is this safe? Any advice would help, getting ready to incubate some Lavender Orpingtons that just came in...

    Receiving Eggs In The Mail-Now What?

    Tomorrow I'll be receiving eggs from 3 different farms from all over this great country. What should I do with them when they get here? Do I let them sit out, rotate, or just put them in my incubator? Would love any advice, this is my first time with shipped in fertilized eggs. Thanks!
