Hello

[Miztruder]

Hello everyone. I just joined and am looking forward to getting acquainted with you all. I am getting ready to put my first batch of egg in an incubator. It is an HHD and I have misplaced my instruction booklet. It is digital and holds 48 eggs. Can any one help please?

Yea 99.5 for chicks 99 for ducks. They both will incubate in those temps. If it's Styrofoam then u won't have much luck. I hope tho,

Thank you. I am new at this and am a little anxious.
I have a question that you may know the answer to. When a hen goes broody, how long does it last?

My Silkies broodiness will last for months if she doesn't have chicks. My Dark Cornish hens sat on their nests until about a week later then stopped, leaving the chicks without a mommy. :'( I guess it depends on the breed and personality of the chickens.

Thank you. I now have 16 new baby chicks that hatched yesterday and today. They are a barnyard mix but they are so cute.....
