annabellaknits,
I have a barnyard flock and have been hatching all season, I actually have some that are about a week old and some that are in the incubator. I would be willing to ship for $3 a doz + shipping to northern VA if you were interested. Some of the breeds that I have are RIR...
I agree that it appears to be a stuck kit, but also a large kit. That very well may have been the only one she will have, but you could give her a TUMS to chew and if there are any more that may stimulate contractions. Hope that helps! I had a doe kindle 3 when we had the cold blast 2 weeks ago...
I will take 30! Send me a PM with your information, and I will calculate shipping and send you a paypal invoice! I will get it shipped out Monday, as I work this weekend, and I will provide you a tracking number as soon as I ship it out!
thenderson- I have a (I think) a 71 chicken egg grid. I would be willing to sell- I don't use the original turner anymore since the motor quit working and I just use a turner from my little giant. I would be willing to part with it for $40 plus shipping. I think brand new the last time I checked...
I'm not sure if I have actually posted pictures of my herd/hutch here yet, so I thought I would let you in to see my meat mutt herd!!! Hope you enjoy and it is PICTURE HEAVY!!!!!!!

I don't come out of "lurkdom" often, but wanted to say you are a true inspiration to the chicken people!
I also have a wheelbarrow with a motorbike for a tire! Thought we were the only ones! I will try to post a pic sometime soon!
Hope you had a safe trip Oz and a wonderful holiday with...
No, all mine needed was adjusted to maintain correct temp. I do believe that Strombergs also sells the replacement parts, as does McMurray Hatchery. Yea, the lyon sales rep sounded just like a sales gimmick to me as well. I know that the thermostats will work its just a matter of getting the...
It's a tough decision when you decide to help. I have learned the lesson the hard way, but I will help if they are glued to the shell. He probably was really tired since he had fought so hard to get out. Great Job and now you have some more knowledge to help you the next time you hatch!
If the temp was running that low, then they are most likely going to be late! I have done that before, then I went and bought new thermometers!! The kitchen thermometers were actually $6-7 and I have one that has a probe on a wire so I can put the readout out side of the bator and not have to...
Here's some pictures of how I hatch all my eggs. They are all incubated air cell up as well.
**BTW- this incubator was a LG Still Air- this was before I added the fan, hence the temps between 100-102 °.
The lady said the temperature on mine "should be ready to go." I am glad I had a thermometer (she didn't have the stock thermometer that came with it) because it was about 5° off. Once I adjusted it, I let it run for a whole week before I placed eggs in it. The only time I have to dial up the...
I have a few questions, so that I may be able to help you.
1- Did you remove the red plugs from the little giant?
2- What did you run the humidity at during the first 18 days of incubation, and also what is your room humidity in the room the incubator is set up in?
Those are some things to...
I was just looking at the lyon electric website, as I need to replace my turner motor, and the single turn solid state is 58.30 +S&H. Good Luck! These are really awesome incubators. I came across one on craigslist and don't regret for a minute the price that I paid. Good Luck
The thermostat is a single turn solid state or a 10 turn solid state if it is not a wafer. Here is a link to the lyon electric PDF for replacements and part numbers.

For reference, here is a picture of mine and I have the solid state...
Congrats on the Pip! I use the cartons for lockdown and just hatched out 23/30 with only 1 cull and 2 dead in shell. 4 were eggs that should have been tossed on day 18 (early death ) but I didn't do a day 18 candle (was super late and had to work the next morning.) That being said, I started off...
Actually- they aren't!!! They unfortunately didn't have any available at this time, and I don't want to wait for a baby to be a breeder right now, so I posted him on Craigslist for what I paid for him. Someone in my area had a doe the same age that was kept as a potential breeder, but apparently...
Well...it turns out the NZW Doe I got in my "Breeding pair" is a BUCK!!!! Should've seen the anger he had when it got put in with the other buck for attempted breeding. Going to be trading him tomorrow for a doe the same age and breed her as soon as she is out of quarantine! Re bred the Cali doe...
I agree! I can't wait either, though I am optimistically waiting. I tried to palpate her on Wednesday, that would put her at 16 days and I couldn't feel anything. If she didn't take I am going to wait and breed her and the NZW doe together so I will hopefully have a foster should something go...
This will be the THOUSANDTH time I have tried to post the pictures of my bunnies so I hope that it works! Here they are:
They don't have names yet!!!
