Yes. I just got the ones they sell at Tractor Supply, or any other farm supply store. I drilled a hole in one side big enough to fit the plug through and sealed off the excess space with bubble wrap. It works great.
Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe if there is too much inbreeding the hatch rate drops. It's important to have genetic diversity within. This can take a huge effort being that this breed is so rare in the US. I hope it works out for you!
I bought mine on amazon with a two year warranty. I have the same turner issues, and their response was that it worked properly. I obviously can return it, but what I did was buy a different turner and keep it. I love the digital display, alarm, and the large size. Obviously I bought it for the...
Hi! Super late response, but hope this helps someone: I've incubated three batches in this same incubator. My best results came from setting it on 38.2 and 30% humidity (then at day 18 increase humidity)
Hi!!! I'm a coronation lover! I bought my first three pullets and a dozen hatching eggs a few days ago, as I've been eyeing the breed for awhile now. So happy! Very soft feathered and sweet temperament. I'm sure a roo will be hatched in a month, and I'll be sitting pretty!! By the way, the...
Is it safe to assume the hatching eggs that come 10 days afterwards are ONLY from the old rooster? Even though the new rooster has been on her from the beginning? I just need to know so I know I can sell those eggs as pure. (The old rooster is the same breed, I'm switching a hen to the new...
Since I can't find the info, I'm wondering what your expertise thinks about this: I have a hen who has always been extremely fertilized by her rooster. Just yesterday I put her in another pen with a new rooster to start an olive egger project. The new maran rooster mounted her immediately, and...
Just curious when you mentioned the humidity margin being inaccurate by 10%, did you mean it being higher than reading on the bator, or lower than on the bator?
