    Are all my eggs infertile or have I bought a rubbish incubator?? HELP

    Hi I have a brin sea mini advance incubator and its fantastic. It only holds 7 eggs but everything is automatic and we have had 6 or 7 hatch out of every batch we have incubated. Well worth the money (:

    Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

I've now got some acv so I add a bit of that every now and then. I used to waste so much feed, they would...

    Babies only developing on one side of the egg

    They turned out fantastic all hatched with no problems. The air sack was still a really strange shape right up until hatching but the chicks are all healthy. I'm still not sure what caused it but alls well that ends well. Good luck with yours.

Cydectin is the same as ivermectin just a different brand.The poultry dusting I've been using has worked really well it was just a bugger to buy cydectin which is expensive and then still have to dust anyway. My flock free ranges and we have heaps of wild birds about so I...
