Oh,ok. Thanks Ralphie! I'll have to go take a look at the egg turner and look for that a hole next to the motor. so it goes on the inside of the egg turner right next to the motor. so the egg in that hole doesn't get too hot. have I got that right?

No..It blocks the hole so you cannot put an egg in it, I would have thought it would have been glued n, I will try to get a picture of one of mine later,

6 chicks are out! Last one has zipped but the others are in it's way and it hasn't pushed out.

YAY!!!!

I am having problems with my chicks. 4 of my baby turkeys have died and 2 of my chickens so far more coming I fear. The chicks become lethargic sometimes loose their appetite then die on the ground. I have them on straw and they have been on the stuff for a couple weeks. The 2 chicks were from a younger batch and all of my turkeys are from the same hatch. The brooders are 50 feet away from each other in separate rooms. This exact thing happened last year and killed nearly 1/2 of my chicks. I need some help and quick. I already have them on medicated water mix of tetracycline.
Any Ideas please.

Brooder temp at one end what temp? Are you feeding medicated feed? you had them out of the brooders on ground? how is poop. Are you putting anything in water?

Hi,
I need some help with a little giant 6300 automatic egg turner. okay we've got it installed in the cabinet incubator but there's a small rectangle of white plastic that came with it .
what is it for? do I need it? where does it go?
Thanks so much ,
Karen

At a work meeting (self funded) in Hawaii (sad face) and just saw this from the bus - chickens in a school yard/loose in front of a school.
Not sure what natural predators they have here

Most common cause would be coccidia +/- not enough heat.
