How many degrees will I need to turn my eggs? A quarter turn each time? I could put 4 numbers on the eggs and always turn clockwise. Also would it be OK if I turn the eggs at 8:30am, 3:30pm and 8:30pm every day? Thanks

I have been looking for feeders and drinkers online and found these two in a set. I was wondering if they would be good for day old chicks. I'm planning on using wood shavings as bedding so could anyone tell me if it would get into these? Would they be able to eat and drink out of them easily...

Hi, I'm wondering how much chick starter feeder I will need to buy for the chicks first 8 weeks. It comes in 10kg and 25kg bags. Which one will I need to get if I have 3 chicks? Which one will I need if I have 6 chicks? Thanks.

Hi, I've made a reasonable size brooder for 6 chicks (I'll give measurements when I can) and I've got an infared heat lamp for it. I plan on introducing a perch at 1 week old and putting it right down one end (So it doesn't take a lot of room) and the food and water down the other. Where should...

I am planning to put 8 eggs in the incubator, I hope 6-7. The chick crumble I'm going to get is 55 pounds, would this be enough to last them their 5,6 or 7 weeks until I switch to grower? If so would it be enough for 2 batches, (27.5 pounds each batch of 6-7 chicks)? Thanks, HokiFarmer

Would a ceramic emitter be suitable for my brooder?

Should I use a Heat Lamp or a Infared light for my brooder? Please explain your answer, thanks.

I have been noticing that my 4 adult chickens will sneak inside and eat the cat biscuits. I decided to do a test, I filled a container with 3/4 layers pellets and the other 1/4 with cat biscuits I chucked them on the ground in front of the chickens and after testing the two they all went for the...

You may have seen my previous thread regarding the auto-egg turner. I am planning to purchase a Janoel 12 incubator and would like to hear from someone who has had experience with these incubators. I have never used a Janoel before so I would like to know the basics: Will I need to buy another...

I am looking to purchase the Janoel 12 Egg Incubator. I was wondering if the egg turning was fully automatic (just plug it in and it does it for you) or if you still need to move that bottom bit that I've seen in reviews. Could somebody please answer ASAP. Thanks.
