    Not all our eggs go into incubator. Take lots of pixs of our batches. After candling they get rearranged.

    Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey Poults hatched

    Our Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey Poults hatched. Of the 10 eggs we had... 6 were fertilized. Two pipped and failed. One never pipped. We have 3 turkey poults. So in love with these little guys. One is quite loud, guessing that one is the girl, jenny 💃 Love these guys.

    Given 3 chickens, gave 100+ away

    Adding 3 new fully grown chickens to the bunch... in quarantine right now in chicken tractor. Gave away 100+ chickens in the last ~8 months. Hubby didn't know we were going to be taking these... hope it doesn't derail his support of incubating eggs. Maybe the various cages of different aged...

    Humility Control cups wick sponges water

    How to control humidity in the incubator and post-hatch brooders? Lots of people love sponges. I hate having to throw these away after each hatch. We are trying to limit contamination between batches. So something inexpensive that we can toss out after a hatch makes me happy. Ever make...

    Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey Hatching

    This batch of 10 turkey eggs, 4 were not fertilized. So of the 6 potential good ones, 2 decided to hatch on day 26. Only one egg didn't pip yet. Super EXCITED. *first turkey that hatched had splayed legs. Hoping with some TLC he'll make it.

    Incubator humidity

    I’ve heard something about 2-3 tablespoons of water is enough for an incubator but i wanted to know 1. If it was true 2. How often do i add water?. I have 2 humidity sensors that have temp reader included and they both say almost the same humidity but I’ve heard they are unreliable so I don’t...

    Assisted hatch, incubator issues

    After losing 6 eggs and 1 chick, I wanted to give up on this incubator. Something isn't right with it. But sadly either I lose the eggs or try at least. So in an effort to save 2 turkey eggs, I've been constantly checking this incubator. The heat and humidity were all wonky, and our turkey...

    Has anyone crossed Andalusian & 55 flower hen?

    So many times breeds are made for egg color or feathers, not so much any more for temperament and friendliness. I know people are exhausted by their orphingtons being bullied. But birds that kids and teens can easily handle would be nicer than colorful 🪶 🪶 feathers that show well. A chicken...

    What's your Favorite larger capacity Incubator?

    What's your Favorite larger capacity Incubator? Last Christmas I received my first incubator. Guess the heating pad in a bucket with my duck eggs was a hint I caught the incubating bug. Seeing older cabinet incubators for sale now and then, but they look in bad shape and are still very...

    Incubator temp Question

    Hi all! I have a Magicfly incubator. Before putting my quail eggs in, i ran it with another digital hygrometer inside to make sure the temp held steady around 99f-100f. I live somewhere very hot and dry (our inside temp is always between 77-79). The incubator last night was set at 36.9C and the...
