    Whats the best thermometer/hygrometer?

    I have excellent readings with the Caliber III Digital Thermometer Hygrometer calibrated with Boveda One-Step Calibration and always within 1-1.5% of the calibration humidity point. A big advantage to the digital, versus analog , hygrometer is how quickly it reads humidity. The thermometer...

    Day #24 in incubator, 2 eggs still no pipping. Give up?

    I bought 8 chicken eggs to hatch and received via mail. Six fertile and 4 hatched on day #21. The 2 remaining eggs, which look distinctly different(different hen?) have not hatched. Should I give up? What is the longest incubation you've experienced? Thank you.

    Octagon 20 ECO w/autoturn cradle OR Genesis 1588 w/egg turner??

    It seems that both hold their temps well. The 1588 holds more eggs. The ECO is easier to clean and probably more durable. Since humidity is so important, which one is easier to adjust and maintain humidity?

    Octagon 20 ECO w/autoturn cradle OR Genesis 1588 w/egg turner??

    Hi, I am shopping for my first incubator and have narrowed it down to these two. They both cost about the same and I need your input. I am planning on incubating chicken and quail eggs. Your opinions and experiences with these units would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Enlarged vent and loose stool

    Hi, I'm new to raising chickens. My daughters, Bella and Gracie fell in love with Silkies and we've had 2 pair for a couple of months. Over the last few weeks I've noticed blood staining to some of the eggs. I examined the hens' vents and one of the hens has an enlarged swollen vent. She also...
