We are in Eastern Congo (large, Kinshasa Congo).

Im disappointed! We only got two pheasant chicks from our batch even though the others looked viable in the shell. I think if we do it again I wont stop the rotation or lower the temp at day 21. So many said 23 days for them but after research it can take as long as 28 days and ours never even pipped until day 25!! I would account the late deaths to the lowered temp. Wont do that again.

So far we have 2 pheasant chicks, 4 guinea fowl in the brooder.

In the bator I still have 7 khaki campbells hatching now. Three pipped and resting, one begining to pip and another two you can hear working on the pip. I think one isnt viable at this point and probably died some time back. Sooooo excited for my ducks!!

Any tips on getting my guineas to stop calling? I have an eco glow in with them set at an angle so they can choose warmth level, so I dont believe thats the problem. They are very wild just unning around the edge of the brooder non-stop. Not sure what else to do for them - they have both feed and water. Ideas?

Quail are starting to hatch. I woke at 4:16 this morning, 3 were zipping. 5:15 3 were out! Ohhhh boy! Time to move Giants to coop, clean out the barn brooder and put quail in the barn. New eggs arrived Saturday as well. 18 again, my bator is full.

Hi, I just wanted to update you all...
The other day I posted on here about my duck eggs as I couldn't see veins or movement in some of themand it was day 21. Well today I candled them and I saw movement in all 10! Thanks for all of your help. One last thing.. because they are shipped eggs a couple have saddle air sacs, tomorrow is lockdown would you suggest sitting them ones in a cut down egg carton? Would I sit it up straight to hatch?

Go, chickies, keets, ducklings! Yes, hatch saddled eggs upright in cartons. SHHHHHush little keets. Oh wait, guineas,yeah they probably will deny ever getting that memo!

I wouldn't trust it. Spring a hydraulic leak and you're dead.
I was up in a bucket truck that sprung a leak. Luckily there wasn't anything under me.

I thought I was imagining it.
I am also confused as to why members are still showing up as guests?

Probably not logging in before lurking.

Give it a few hours. I've had a few this year that I thought had splay leg. They were fine by the next morning.

I had a chick that took forever to zip. I thought I'd have to fix the legs/feet or it would die. It disappeared under the hover brooder. I picked up the brooder the next day and I couldn't tell which one it was.

We just had a 10-min. thunder shower; dropped the temp 15-20*

We haven't had 2 days straight without rain in a long time. Can't cut grass or weed eat. Weeds are out of control. Now I need to use a machete, weed eater won't cut it.

Hi everyone. Stopping in quick, have 3quail with splayed leg. CRAP! 12, hatched so far,lost one.

Good luck with the splayed legs, sorry about the one you lost.

was 94 and all of a sudden it dropped to 88 and no storms very weird.

I think the degrees you're missing showed up here.

I've been hearing thunder on and off for two days, very little rain.

This afternoon I have been getting the ducks in before the first storm and now back out for a while. They have shade, but not good storm protection in the day pen. New pen will be better.

Are they little ducklings? My ducks always loved the rain.

I'd wait until the check cleared, before shipping it out.

No storms here just stinking hot. Sent the backhoe picture to my brother in law. He's health and safety here. I asked him if I should talk with the guys about safety concerns. Hopefully he won't pay attention to the buildings in the background.
