(My DH rocks, it took 7 years, but I finally got him trained!) If anybody has some eggs that they would like incubated, please let me know. I want to run a test batch before the geese start laying. I prefer ducks, but chickens or quail would work too. It's an R-Com 20, so it can hold about 20 chicken or duck eggs. I can also brood the little girls (

The only stipulation is that you MUST take them back afterwards!!! I am not charging anything, I just can't keep them!

THATS AWESOME!! what he getcha??? YAY!! ducks ducks ducks!!


This year I got a pair of sulcata tortoises , an R-Com 20 Pro incubator, a bunch of plastic storage bins for my duck/goose feed/supplies, and a case of wine! WOOHOO! What more could a gal want?? Well, except a living room full of ducklings!
Soooo awesome that he got you a bator for Christmas!!!! Congrats!
 
So Sweet sounds…. Gotta love it! We have TWO more Wellie pips!!!! Kinda hard not to count my chickens before they're hatched… Hope these two do ok.

Had to help out my last two Cochins. One of them has the bandaide leg going on. Crazy thing keeps falling on her back and crying…then the other chicks pick on her and we put her rightside up. Then it starts over.

Can't wait to see those baby pictures!!!

Sulcata tortoise, omg I love them we had one when I was younger!! You planing on breeding them?? ]

It is supposed to be a male and female, but they are still less than a year old. From what I've read they need to be 3-4 years old before you can sex them visually. And as far as breeding... that doesn't occur until they are 7-8 years old. I wouldn't incubate them unless I knew someone who wanted them and who educated themselves first. This is how I incubate my ducks. Everybody wants them when they see the cute babies, I want to make sure it is not an impulse buy and people realize the care that is needed for these animals.

Did you live here in "PA" when you had your sulcata?
 
Are they similar to a Russian tortoise?


Kindda but you could say they are on steroids!! Hahaha they live for about 59 yrs and are about 100 lbs or so

Yep have only ever lived in PA! Thinking about getting my mom one again, it was actually really sad how we lost him! My mom would put him out in his play area everyday and would bring him in every night. Well one day the pen was moved but not properly secured at the bottom and my mom didnt realize this and put him out for his daily romp. Well she went to check on him and give him more food nd saw he lifed the one side of the pen n was missing!! Soo upset we spent hours in the woods surrounding our house and no such luck!, still feel so bad about this cause we all really loved Timmy!!
