    My Dove Family

    It hatched March 26th, a Saturday, so the day I posted it was actually, 16 days. I marked the date down on the calendar. Couldn't forget that date since my chicken eggs hatched the day before, on the 25th....so no, it's not over three weeks old. Quote:

    though I've only had two hatches to speak of, I've let them get almost completely dry (about 4-5) hours and into the brooder they go...but if you see the baby panting, go ahead and give it some relief by putting it in the brooder.... Quote:

    What One Do I Buy

    I went for it...was sitting on the fence about which one to get, sportsman or dickey....I went with the Dickey - figured it has great reviews and it's cheaper...only downside - THREE weeks for delivery! Guess I'll have to sit on my hands and try to hatch my hands.

    My first chick hatch...first baby silkie!!!!!!

    Nice pups, nice chicks and REALLY nice Sportsman! I'm currently torn between Dickey and a Sportsman.

    When to take the chicks out of the incubator?

    As long as my brooder is nice and warm they go into the brooder. This amounts to 4-5 hours in the bator after hatching and they're not completely dry but they're okay and seem to do well.

    thermastats for LG

    I can only give my experience and because this is the first time I've used it, it may not mean much...BUT, I am currently testing out a Zoo Med ReptiTemp 500r - a thermostat reptile keepers use - and I am really kicking myself for not having bought it before doing my last hatch....It is working...

    What is a good incubator for a beginner?

    Stay away from the Little Giant Styrofoam incubator and go with the Brinsea - from the reviews, it is awesome for that price range!

    What kind of hatch rates do you all get from your Sportsman 1502?

    I'm eager to know too...I was thinking a Dickey because it's cheaper but would love to see what people think of the Sportsman before making a decision. Quote:

    Look at him/her just sitting there after all your suffering - as though hatching were a breeze!! I'm pretty sure it's not a breeze for them either, poor little thing, looks like he's taking a well deserved rest - I hope you have too, though I know that's hard....I'm so glad to see everyone's...
