These pages are being made up from the wealth of practical and technical knowledge that can be found on the newsgroup. None of the topics are finished - they probably never will be - we always have something to learn. If there is something you wnat to know that is not here - get on the group and ask - they are a really friendly group and no question is too simple - and hopefully if it is complicated someone will be able to help find the answer. The group is made up from all walks of poultry keeping from 2 birds in the city to commercial egg and meat producers - and from all over the world.
INCUBATORS
Q: Does anyone know
of a good place to buy a small incubator? It has to have an automatic
turner because I work 12 hour shifts and can't be home to turn the eggs
on time.
A: listed on eBay
- Try the auction at www.poultryconnection.com
I have seen them there for
auction or your local feed
store carries them as well - We purchased a Hova-bator brand
styrofoam incubator with the automatic egg turner and fan. We had
a great hatch rate! It even had a plastic insert you can remove from
the bottom for cleaning. Styrofoam does not clean well and lower
hatch rates are eventurally the result. This is a great plus for
this unit! Holds 48 chicken eggs. McMurray Hatcheries sells them
as well as local co-ops and feed stores
