Reptipro 5000 Hatch-A-Long (=

[JenBirdRansom]

Here is chickie #3 with her New Shoes!! She gets tired easy...more so than the other one.







Here is #4. She is a scrappy looking thing! Feisty though....very feisty.
She has a new shoe too. Only one foot needed it but it was a pretty wonky foot.

Lookin' good! They'll get used to it and hopefully have normal feet in a few days time. Here are my "freshest" babies. We think they are either "dun" or "khaki." Khaki being the dun equivalent to splash in this color. They are soooo tiny!

I have spent all evening roaming the Incubating & Hatching Eggs forum and am so glad I caught this one. Melissa Rose was good enough to invite DH and I down to her place a couple of weekends ago

Thanks for all the chicklets girl, everyone doing well. I was so jealous

of all the bators, I am amazed at how she keeps track!! It was soo cool to see so many different projects. Sweety your hubby is gonna have some building to do, too. I set 41 of our own eggs in our Hovabator on the morning of the first to get some practice (AND to wait for our Tax return to get the New Reptipro 6000) before I head to the Egg Auctions

. Already have my first project sited !! Chicken math takes on a whole new meaning when you add bators!!

Just look at those cuties.

Here is a chic pic of the sweet little Bantam Ameraucanas from Banjoe Joe I have hatching tonight

Chick #3 is having a failure to thrive. I keep feeding her and she just isn't perking up. She's hardly even keeping her eyes open most of the time. Advice?

Wow I've missed a lot, Jen you have chicks!! Have you tried some sugar water? At Tractor Supply they had little packets of Save-A-Chick to mix in the water for weak or slow starting chicks. I've used a syringe (the medicine kind without needles) to give chicks tiny droplets of water, just be careful not to squirt too much, they'll drink it if you do this unless they are close to death. I've always been told you'll die from lack of water before food so maybe sugared water will make her perk up & eat. I hope she turns around for you, they're all so cute! It looks like their boots are working to, it took me forever to do that to a quail chick & yours/sixpugs look wayyy better lol.

Will the Reptipro 6000s have free shipping like the 5000s on ebay? If so I'll probably order one the 7/8th when I get my tax return. Do the 6000s have a bigger shelf than the other? I can't remember mine's measurements. Ok one more thing, who do we pre order them through, both incubators.org & reptipro on ebay or just incubators.org?

I finally got some emu eggs & picked them up on the 3rd in Ohio, yayyy!
I got 5 from her so I still plan on getting 4 more, or maybe to keep from overcrowding just get 5-6 when I get the 6000. My day 1 weigh in was:
A-671.8
B-653.2
C-671.1
D-681.3
E-672.8
To bad you can't candle these suckers, watching an emu chick developing would be pretty neat, well & would also elimate the 45+ day wait to see if they're in there...it's only day 2 (just about 3) & the suspense is driving me bonkers, good grief I'm so impatient...I'll be busting out my stethoscope in a few weeks

Oops I said pretty much what yinepu did about the water sooo OK I agree, what she said lol...I'm way to sleepy to be on here

The ReptiPro 6000 was scheduled to go on sale this past weekend but is once again held up at customs here in Cincinnati just north of us. I guess this is where they are actually entering the country whereas other containers on the train were entering at the border.

The inspection should just take a couple days and we will post the units for sale on our sites once they are in our possession. Sorry to keep anyone waiting we just have no control over customs or their time lines.

We will be offering a free shipping promotion for the ReptiPro 6000 on incubators.org for the first 10 days.

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks Chris! I will have to save up for one so I can go around to schools and libraries and explain the benefits of having backyard chickens!

 

[ReptiPro]

The new ReptiPro 6000 is now on sale at incubators.org and will be on ReptiPro.com sometime tomorrow. Check it out here.

http://www.incubators.org/reptipro-6000-incubator-with-two-automatic-egg-turner.html

I will be adding more to the description as well as making a product video for the unit sometime in the near future. We will also start running a poll on the site to take votes on product / instructional videos that we will produce so keep an eye out for that. Hopefully we can create a vast video library covering all aspects of incubation and chick rearing.

I cannot wait to see those emu eggs hatch. Still a ways off I guess. Be sure to take some pics!
