    Where to put my incubator

    Hi everyone! 👋 I just bought an incubator last night from my local TSC, and I have no idea where to put it! My living room and kitchen is attached and there are lots of windows that light up my space. It is a very small house with no basement or spare bedroom, so I don't really have an area...

    What’s the best multi-fowl hatching incubator?

    I can’t decide which Incubator to get, I’ve heard the Nurture Right 360 is great, but I don’t know if it had a wide enough range for my specifications. I’ve heard it does well with chickens, quail and pheasant, but I aim to hatch much larger eggs, like turkeys, peacocks and geese. Does it still...

We couldn't see the dead baby, one of our chickens hatched another pipped and looks like it died. I don't know what to do. The dead quail baby...

    Do freshly laid eggs develop faster than eggs laid a week or more ago?

    Do the embryos in freshly laid eggs develop faster than the embryos in eggs that were laid days or weeks before? I've noticed that an egg laid yesterday develops faster than eggs laid last week. Does anyone know if there's any science to this? Or am I just imagining things?

    Please HELP!!!

    My coworker and I have been incubating an egg for about 13 days. On Monday, the incubator overheated - it couldn't have been any longer than 2 hours because she had turned it for the day and then went to turn it again and realized how hot it felt. On Sunday, the egg was moving around and very...

    day 30 and ducks still didn’t hatch!

    Hi, i’m a first time hatcher. I’ve recently started incubating duck eggs and only one hatched in day 28. I have 5 eggs in all. Another one looks like the hard shell chipped off already but the thin part wasn’t broken through. Should I help it?

    Diary of a Duck Virgin

    I've gotten tired of our pond (Well, NOT ours... city owned... and neglected) looking worse year after year. At our own expense we've put in bubblers, a seemingly worthless amount of chemicals, and stocked it with fish two different years. But also being a run-off for residential properties in a...

    Hi! Okay, so, momma mallard nested for the 2nd time in our front flower bed, and laid 8 eggs. Something got into the nest overnight and scared the mother duck away, leaving 3 eggs. She hadn't returned by dusk, so I put together a diy incubator to see if I could rescue the little guys. They...

    Bantam and duck eggs

    I own a Brinsea octagon incubator and was wondering if you can put bantam eggs and duck eggs into it at the same time? Will the humidity and whatever else be ok or will this not work out? Many thanks for you help
