    Can I use an automatic egg turner in a homemade incubator?

    This could def. work for me, but I am a visual person, so if you could do pics or a video, that would be great!! Is the one for the hovabator a universal egg turner, or do you need to buy the quail rails separately?

    Can I use an automatic egg turner in a homemade incubator?

    I was looking at building an easy Styrofoam incubator---( I don't have much building know how, but was hoping there will be some youtube videos) Wondering if I could put an egg turner in it (was thinking of the Little Giant one). Or do the egg turners only work with the incubator their built for?

    Have a lot of Newbie questions!!!

    Sorry, I'm still learning the terminology! :) I guess by 100% free range, I mean grass fed? Basically no commercial feed if possible. Just not so sure if it can be done in the Northern states in winter. I definitely have to look up fermented feed. Maybe I can do that with different grains. I'm...

    Have a lot of Newbie questions!!!

    Thanks for replying! I guess I'm just leaning more towards getting heritage birds. And I really want to know which are the fastest growing ones---and how fast?

    Allergen free feeding

    I'm following her as well. I know of someone who has been looking for such a feed, so told her to look into going 100% free range/ no feed. But as I am new at this, I don't know if that is possible with cold, snowy winters. I think the woman on the site is probably selling something, or will...

    Have a lot of Newbie questions!!!

    So, I've been wanting to keep chickens for egg and meat for about a year now. I've decided to go ahead and take the plunge in Spring. I know which dual purpose chickens I want to get, but right now, my question is specifically about the chickens I want to raise for meat only. I don't think I...
