    Anyone ever ordered Georgia Giants from Wadley Quail Farm?

    Yes! I have ordered over 4000 from wadely over 6 years for my dog training. 250 + at a time. Good hatch rates 94%+ or more. GA Giants are a good run in any order.... it gets harder to have a higher hatch rate with 250-500 eggs per hatch. Its a natural selection thing. Nature. I have incubated...

    Electric and heating issue

    Build a small fire if you can and put some bricks around it (or old cast iron pot) and let them warm to the desired temps. Alternate them and in the c group you can swap them out as they cool down. If you are in town, just put some on the grill and no one should complain about a fire, if they do...

    Review by '' on item 'Thermostat Wafer Switch Complete'

    As stated in another review "The wafer has been around for a long time and works very well". Probably better than any other mechanical system I have seen or DIY McGyver(ism) Manual/Mechanical control unit you can dream up! The fact of this design is that it is not a brand specific item. You...

    Positioning eggs in incubator

    What I was referring to was the lock down phase in which many people will take the eggs out of the turner trays and lay the eggs on their sides 3-4 days prior to piping and hatching. You dont want the eggs laying flat and touching at 4 points (R&L sides and Pointy and Fat ends back to back side...

    Mother given birth to 3 chicks

    Most Mommas know what they are doing and chicks do as well. Mother nature is usually the better option.

    Putting young quail together

    If you have the month olds in the brooder they might attack the younger chicks. If you have the 20 day olds separate it would be better, besides the big boys can trample the younger ones easier. As far as aggressiveness, depends on the type as some quail are not as aggressive as others. But...

    Mites? Lice? I need some help please!

    Good deal, but just (ALL) be aware there are others that might come up in google that does have the other pesticides in it as well (and usually cost more). NOT Suitable for animals or humans.

    Incubating and discouraged

    75 watts is fine... I thought it was one of those new fancy colored heat lamp bulbs that crank out 250 watts.. (which is too hot for a coolerbator even with 3 fans).

    Mites? Lice? I need some help please!

    That would probably be the $99.00 quart it has other insecticides in it particular for termites and the versatility of permetherin for other insects (when you spray). SFX is just the permetherin...less than $24.00.

    Who here is waiting on Eggs???

    Depending on the amount of the zip, when I get a little board or have time, I will sometimes grab a dozen or so that seems to be troubled and help them out while the others are zipping. of course that is the ones that have zipped half to all around but failed to break a majority of the membrane...

    Dry Incubation VS. Wet

    I have never tried still air incubation nor have I tried dry incubation but there are plenty of those who tried it and (so I hear) have had good results. So I guess "stick with what works for you and your equipment" applies on both sides of the fence. But for me, I will stick to forced air...
