I make egg candlers out of flashlights and can make them out of tin cans if needed. I am looking to trade my product for some NICE Quail eggs and or some Lady Amherst Pheasant eggs. I have some eggs in the incubator now but I am just starting out and I want to get my flock size up as I am...
i finished my hatcher yesterday and I have been setting the temp and letting it stabilize and so far it has held stable at 99-100! Not bad for a bi-metal thermostat!
I used a thermo-electric wine cooler and took the outer fans and the cooler chips off. I kept the inner fans, light, and control...
Does anyone have a Hova-Bator or Little Giant or comparable Styrofoam incubator that you are not using (it does NOT have to work. I just need the container)?? I am designing an egg turner that holds 200ct.+ Quail eggs and I need the incubator in hand so I can do fitment tests. PLEASE let me know...
I am getting ready to place my eggs in the incubator and I was wondering what the hatching times and lockdown days I should do if different from each other. I know the Bob Whites take longer but do the others have the same time frames??
Going in tonight or in the morning are:
Texas A&Ms
Jumbo...
I came up with an idea for my Quail eggs. I was tired of buying egg turners ($39.99) and then have to buy the Quail rails (additional $14.99) not including shipping if needed! So I am making my own! Lets just say my way does 150 in the same area as just the Quail rails! Figure in the frame for...
I just made this a few minutes ago and it works GREAT with all the eggs I have!
Materials needed:
Harbor Freight LED flashlight $0.99-$1.99 (Dollar store may have very similar LED flashlights)
1" piece of 3/4" PVC coupler $0.35
Super Glue $1.99
Total cost= ~$5
Take the piece of PVC and...
I got these from someone that was unsure what they are and I was wondering if anyone can give me some insight as to what breed they are. I am thinking the 2 are female and the white one is unknown. lol..
Thanks in advance ;)
I am going to be incubating 300+ eggs this weekend and I am trying to get some ideas on a coop that will be able to house all of them. I would LIKE to keep the different species apart from the next. I have 2'x20' of 1/2" hardware cloth just dying to be put to use. lol..The good thing is that...
I received my first batch order of 65+ Quail eggs. I received 75 but 4 were smashed :( The eggs I got today were Tibetan, Texas A&M, and Golden Speckle. All of the eggs in this order came from Texas and came with a Pullorum-Typhoid Certificate. I must say that they are VERY clean with little to...
I had a few things laying around that I could have used for an incubator so I started making one from a aficiando thermoelectric wine cooler and then I remembered that I had a KING fridge/freezer in the garage that was just a storage for my powder coating powder.. SO.... I ditched the wine...
I am looking for Chinese Painted Button, Bob White, Pharaoh Coturnix, Tennesee Red Quail hatching eggs. Please let me know what you have to offer. I am looking for at least 40 total shipped to 19601.
Thanks for looking!!
I just got back from my friends farm and this is what I have to test out the converted wine cooler/incubator! Only $2/fertilized doz!!
Unfortunately they are "mixed" since the roos are not the same as all the hens.. The hens are Polish Bearded, RIR, White Leghorns and Black Australorpes...
I called the township and was told that chickens are not allowed in the "City" of Reading. Unfortunately we are right by the city limits. What I do not understand is you can not have quiet chickens but you can have as many dogs as you want?!?! This makes NO sense at all! I bought the chickens...
