I do not like the Little Giant Incubator. It is still air, styrofoam and has no egg turner. The bare bones $50 one I bought at Russell Feed. I pretty much have a 100% hatch rate. Unfortunately, every single time, the chicks remain soaked after hatch and never dry off not even a little. The last...

I have not had any luck at getting a hen broody. We had left these eggs in the egg box for a period of time and no hen has become broody. It is frustrating. So, it looks like they will need to go to the incubator on Tuesday the 26th. The first egg was laid on February 26th and the last egg was...

I have a fertile egg that is about 4 days developed. It has been cracked on the side but no leakage. What should I do with it?

Spice, our baby chick born yesterday at 3:06pm, was brought out of the incubator this morning to the brooder at 5:30am. When observing her/him, she/he drank water maybe once or twice correctly, and then maybe three times fell into the water dish with her body, not her head. She/he managed to...

I want to breed and hatch a black star and possibly sell black stars as well. I don't have a rhode island red rooster. I only have a Black Sex link (ameraucana dad and barred rock mom) and rhode island red hens. So, will a black sex link rooster and rhode island red hen produce a black star...

I am brand new to incubating. I have been reading mixed reviews. Is the Nurture Right 360 worth the investment? Also, I have read to buy the Govee hygrometer to use with it, but I do not have a SMART phone, just a flip phone. So, which hygrometer is the next best thing if I cannot get the...
