I think I might have been drowning my baby chicks. I use a homemade stryrofoam cooler incubator. I have 3 of them and a hova-bator 1602n with a added fan. I had really lousy hatches the last couple...

Yes let me set this straight. I washed the foam coolers out and then bleached the foam coolers out with a 10% solution of bleach and water. I then washed the cooler out with lots of water and let the...

It all makes sense to me guys. I looked at that Dry Incubation write up That Bill Worrell wrote. It made a lot of sense and I am trying that right now. I put eggs in today. Wish me luck. I think they...

Leo, What level humidity do you suggest? I am going to have three types of foam coolers running so I may vary the humidity. Let me know what you have heard. Thanks, Dave

Thanks Rich, I hate it when people do as the other person did. People are looking for help and advice on here no junk. I just got an order of eggs sent through the mail today. There were 36 eggs in...

What do you mean it has trouble all over it. You have to disinfect your incubator. Letting it sit in the sun drys the water up and the ultra violet rays naturly kill bacteria. Please explain what you...

I have had really bad hatches lately from shipped eggs. They came from several sources but all top notch people. The last hatch of 50 chicken, Turkey and guienies was lousy. I only got 5 live chicks...

I agree. I was running a little short this month and just bought a bag of scratch to make it to the end of the month. I did mix it with my laying pellets I had left in the barrel.My egg production is...

I have never had a hen to be egg bound and I looked like everybody described. I will try the black oil sunflower as I have already put oil around and slightly in the vent. I also noticed tonight when...

Thanks for the kind words. I do have netting over the birds. I am putting a low wire to keep diggers out. I also have a higher than 4.5 fence. That is just the regular part I have a whole other stand...

Thanks a lot. I think I will look localy and see if I can find a couple.

I have never seen one in real life. I see that a lot of people like them to hatch out nonsitter chicken eggs. I was wondering wouldn't you need a full size hen to hatch a clutch of say RIR eggs? Let...

I thought there was a surgicial way to stop them from crowing. I did not really want to go that route. I did think that there was a way to stop them though. I think the only way I would do the...
