    Recommendations for growing back tail feathers eaten by mice

    We have several of our 4-H show birds that have had their tails ruined by mice. Does anyone have recommendations on how to repair them? They are pretty much chewed to pieces. Do I just pluck them and wait for them to grow back? Thanks in advance!

    Yes, take out the black tray at lockdown. I also remove the top plastic tray at lockdown and place the eggs on the bottom plastic tray.

    I have had a good deal of success with this incubator here in Colorado:) I have the owners manual at home and would happily take photos of the parts you need and post. I can also post a pic of the assembled incubator if that would help?

    Not sure if all counties are the same, but in our county if you do market birds then you have to do showmanship. Showmanship with a turkey is tricky so we do market turkey and then use a chicken for showmanship. The market birds you can sell at auction:)

    That's great! We started showing last year, my kids are 9. We have a family of peafowl enthusiasts. We have 3 right now, but so far have never seen any at the fair. I didn't even know you could show peafowl in 4-H!

    I have a temp and humidity gauge in it and have it doing an empty test run right now. I put the 100ml of water in it and my humidity is crazy high. I live in Colorado so we have very little humidity. I'm going to have to play with that part a little! I'm getting eggs in a few weeks! Wish me luck:)

    I just bought this incubator and am having a hard time with the instruction manual. What temp did you set yours at? I am also having a hard time determining if this is still air or not. I am assuming so but the manual leaves a lot to be desired
