Incubating different clutches in the same bator?
I know this is probably not a good idea but I really don't have much of a choice. I have two clutches of duck eggs added about two weeks apart. Both on automatic turners. What would be the best way of dealing with this? I'm open to any suggestions besides buying another bator. Thanks!- khs2424

Too cold?
My eastern turkeys are 5 weeks old today. They have been off the lamp for a couple of weeks now and seem to be doing fine. My question is, I'm wanting to get them outside and it's getting down to 64 tonight here in central Alabama. Would that be too cold for them? They are staying in my... -
Questions about raising turkeys free range
I am currently incubating some turkey eggs for a friend who just recently told me he won't be able to take the turkeys. Thanks! My question is, my father raises goats and has three fenced in fields. One field has a Great Pyrenees that guards the mothers and younger goats. (I'm assuming that... -
My Pekins are hatching. What do I need to prepare? (Updated)
I'm really excited about my Pekins hatching this week. Only a few things I'm not sure of to do to prepare for their arrival. 1. I am assuming I need to prepare a brood area for them. 2. What do I need to feed them for the first few weeks? 3. How old do they need to be before I let them... -
