I don't want geese, we have enough wild ones around here :P I don't really need a protector I just want turkeys, I love turkeys. I hatched some last year and raised them and there was this one that I loved he loved people and dogs he would follow me and our dog around the yard. We called him Pilgrim :P But all my turkeys left. :( I want some bad. I also want some pheasants because the one male I have has gone into breeding season and he is so pretty right now. And the pheasant hens are so cute but mine ran away :(

Awesome!
 
I have failed again. Today is hatch day and absolutely nothing has happened. I don't understand. I kept the temp around 97-99 degrees F and the humidity around 50-60% and bumped it up to %70 on lock down. What could've gone wrong? 2 of the eggs are developing. What am I doing wrong? This will be another disappointing hatch day I guess :(

I'm sorry Erin. I'm not a incubating expert, and my incubator is one of those you pour water into and it will rotate the eggs itself and keep them at a steady humidity.

it's okay. Just disappointing. That's the type mine is. Except I have a turner. I guess I will keep trying.
 
Maybe. If your going to get a big hatch I'd recommend something from RCOM. I have a 2, 3 egg holding kind. You can incubate chickens,pheasants, ducks, quail, parrots ect. in it. It's got the auto turner, and the auto humidifier. It's very cool. And it's from R-COM

Alright I'll check that out. Thanks! My dog/ and chickens broke an egg from somewhere and It was developing,veins, I didn't find a embryo though. So I'm thinking, maybe I'm doing to much to get my incubator to hatch eggs, maybe I'm trying to hard and oh you know what I mean. So I'm doing a project, I'm going to have a cardboard box or container, have heat lamp in there and keep the temperature right, I'm going to hand turn the eggs, and I wont use any water for humidity until day 18, isn't that what they call dry incubation? And I will see if it works. It's amazing how you can get an egg to hatch without you trying to and pushing yourself to, so maybe I'll try something a bit simpler than an incubator. I don't think it will work but hey, it's worth a try. I read it has to be 74 degrees F to start developing.
