I am a little puzzled… the place I received one set of northern bobwhite quail eggs from said hatch day in 18 days? That doesn’t seem correct. I thought they were a 21 day hatch? Do you think they meant lock down at 18 days? Just want to confirm with others more familiar.
I have some baby turkeys in the incubator just about ready to move to the brooder. I have them in my attached garage , as it is climate controlled… anyway.. I wanted to paint my laundry room today inside the house… so a door is what separates the area… is this safe? Or are the fumes harmful and...
And we have a baby!!! Hopefully to wake the rest!! Because .. yea.. now a whole new set of worries.. haha
77 percent humidity now… and all others seemed to have noticeable pips as of about 7 am today
Well .. today is day 26… we have 4 definite pips! And now one zipped!!! And here is where I get nervous!!! I hate when I can see the membrane for a while and just looks dry … humidity is about 70 percent …. Eeeekkkk…. Nervous and excited!!!
Today is day 24 for me… so hopefully I didn’t screw anything up by pulling out the turner and locking down already. Fingers crossed… they are still on schedule but have seen that many hatching turkeys do so around day 26… so of course I walk by the incubator like a billion times always checking...
Today I watched an egg rock back and forth in the incubator , but lock down is supposed to be in two days. My gut said to turn off the egg turner and get them into position. Was this a bad idea? I guess just looking to see is this early movement normal? Or did I do the correct thing in...
Hope u don’t mind me asking about your midget whites… I have some eggs in the bator currently…. Question… in hopes I have a successful hatch, did u have to keep chicken hatchlings with them to help them know how to eat and drink… or is it enough that u showed them successfully?
Setting up my brooder area this week in anticipation of a good hatch when the incubator is done doing its thang😉🤗🙏🏽… first time turkeys, but have hatched quail, chickens and ducks … so I have only ever used a heat plate in the brooder …. My question is what is a good ambient room temp for the...
I plan to attempt hatching a few turkeys (once I can figure out what type I want)… I will have a coop area off a fenced area. The fence is about 8’ tall. Would making a hot wire at the top keep them from flying over? Or should I plan to clip wings?
Hello 👋🏽... I am usually over on the quail boards.. well I moved states over the summer and now allowed to have chickens!! My cousin has a small flock down the road.. grabbed 9 eggs.. two were not fertile and the rest hatched and they are the most beautiful and lovely little fluff balls ever...
I have the janoel12 incubator.. typically just hatch out coturnix quail... but moved recently and getting an area set up for some Cayuga... I would perfer to hatch my own
Wondered if anyone could just tell me the approximate dimensions of a Cayuga ducks egg? Would like to plan out a future with them and wondered if they would fit in my current incubator? Thank ya
