We had 6 buff orpington/ blue andalusian mixes hatch 4 days ago. The last one that hatched has had issues from the start. It had a clubbed foot and was very listless. At about 1 day we had to start cleaning this yellow gooey stuff that sticks to his stomach and butt at least once a day. It just...
Wow our first major hatch that actually worked. 75% Hatch rate on eggs shipped from TN to southern NV. So 30 out of 40 eggs made it and are as healthy as can be. We are so happy with this colorful bunch of poop machines. Got pics???
This is my little favorite and i really hope it's a little...
I keep researching but am coming up with mixed results. What is the best thermometer/ hygrometer for a hovabator? Is there really a big difference in digital and non? Any help would be greatly appreciated we need to get it as soon as possible. We have 20 A&M and 40 coturnix hatching eggs coming...
We're looking for a small home incubator that's good for no more than 2 to 3 dozen quail eggs. We're looking at the brinsea mini eco ex that seems to be the best one to suit our purposes for now. Any recommendations anyone can give would be appreciated. Thanks everyone.
We had a set of 18 eggs and accidentally drowned 11 of them and only 2 hatched. We would like to find some really close to the Las Vegas or Pahrump Areas that would be willing to sell 4 to 5 chicks 3 to 4 days old if possible. We want the other 2 to have some company and we would like to start...

I've heard that you should try to help them out after 24 but i wanted to give the little one a chance to do it on it's own. Not to mention the controversy in helping or not. what should i do? At 24 hrs i broke away some of the shell where it had pipped through to make sure it could breath and...
I am very new to this forum but have found so much good info from everyone. I am very happy this forum exists otherwise i don't know what i would have done with my new quail chicks and eggs.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
We have had chickens for over 4 years...
I was cleaning out some tumbleweeds one day and happened across a nest of 15 gamble eggs and while i had just cleared their shade i didn't want them to roast in the 120 degree weather we have here in Pahrump, NV. We've had them for at least 20 days we stopped turning them about 2 days ago and i...
