OMG!! I had to skip 300+ post again. If I haven't already here are my final numbers.
Total hatched 93 chicken and 14 quail
Not sure if this counts in the total 1 chick and 1 quail died in the brooder after that hatch count.
Hope I did not miss a post about the emu. I guess I will have to...
I have no idea on numbers yet! 107 chicken and 19 coturnix quail went into lockdown. I do know there are 14 quail at this time. I had to leave for work at 5:30 am and am still here. We pulled 7 or 8 out last night and 22 this morning from the wine cooler hatcher, and 11 I think from the...
I am in the process of getting the stuff to make one! What did you use for heat, thermostat etc.??? I purchased the IncuKit XL
Mine will be used as a hatcher only though. Pics please!!
Not sure if this thread is the place for this..
I am getting ready to build a hatcher out of a wine cooler. I don't like hatching in my Sportsman because it's hard to see into the hatching tray, and I am worried about the humidity being raised and lowered so much during staggered hatches. I...
I can totally hear this conversation!
"She ate her" ha ha
You people have me cracking up this morning! My partner at work must think I'm crazy... (well Maybe now it's just confirmed) lol
Are you part of a gofundme that i saw on another sight to bring them here? The owner of that acct is Walli Johnson.
I almost had 3 White crested black polish do that the other day!! It was so hard to resist, but I am already overrun and have 107 in the bator now.
Depends on the breed and...
I brood in these, in an un insulated coop. I cannot afford a premier 1 plate right now, or get one today, but it is definitely on my list of things to buy. I am having good success with the mama brooder caves for the chicks. I am going to try just putting the heating pad on the floor so they can...
Oh no!! I am so sorry for your loss, both the birds and coop,
In light of this tragic news I want to get rid of the heat lamp that is in the duck part of the brooder coop. They will not use the Mama heat pad like the chicks do so I put a lamp in. Now they are 5 weeks old and very tall, with...
I finally got to candle my eggs. My last hatch was interfering. I did get 7 to hatch out of that bunch. I pulled 16 clears to leave 107 still going, plus could not candle the 19 quail eggs. I am really excited about the Barnie eggs doing so well!
Oh no! Sorry to hear about this!
Yes it is nice to hear about honest people! And be on the recieving end of the kindness.
I am sure I could find some eggs, but I will be completely over run with chicks when the Easter hatch and the replacement eggs gets done. I have been hatching steadily...
I had the same experience recently. I bought Silkie/Showgirl eggs off Ebay. They arrived in beautiful condition. I had 11/19 clears on day 7. Out of the remainder I only hatched 2 one Silkie and one SG. I emailed the seller just to inform them for their records, not asking for anything. She said...
The greys are in the back of the hatching tray. I will try to get a pic tonight when i get off work. Not sure any are going to hatch this time around, I am still hoping. If not I will try again soon!
Today is day 9 for my HAL eggs. Should I wait to candle them on day 15 now? I am worried about disturbing them during crucial development.
Hopefully will have chicks in the hatching tray when I get home from work from my stagger just before the Hal. Shipped of 4 different breeds and Grey eggs...
