my brooder set up is a solid Agricultural fruit bin ( Macro bin).. the vented ones also work good too, but you will need a liner for the bottom.. pine shavings deep litter and we get great results.. bins are stackable too if you want to make a multi level brooder system.
Thank you, you have been very informative. My Bobwhite just started hatching out yesterday morning. 12 out of 50+ eggs. I had already taken 13 eggs out of 65 eggs I started with that candle good. This is my first time doing this. I've done pheasant chicks a few times before and they were pretty easy compared to the egg deal. I lost lost three that got into the water. Thought I fixed that with pebbles/small stones in the water and still lost another to that. So now I have every little water in it. And that seems to be working. I'm trying to learn fast... Your video was helpful. I'll look into more of your vids. Thanks again!
i turned my exo terra terrarium into a brooder as it keeps the warm and sheltered. I put a red lamp on top during the day and used a brooder plate with hay flooring. i use to have trouble with the drinkers so i set a nibble drinker on top of the plate they used it fine.
I just got into raising Coturnix quail. I appreciate all the videos you all put out on these quail. My first hatch rate wasn’t too good. Got 70 eggs 25 wasn’t fertilized and I lost 15 right after hatch and I’ve lost 5. I wish I watched more of your videos before hand. Hoping the next batch goes better
I used drawer liner in the incubator and the brooder (large plastic tote). this last hatch. It is the first time that I had no splay leg in the bunch. I had used the blue auto paper but still had issues with splay leg. PS. I share my incubator with a friend that hatches chicken eggs. Is there anything That would be a no-no for doing that?
@@MyshireFarm you are a wealth of knowledge! Thanks so much for your support. Can't wait to get your egg shippment from you. Been testing my new incubator and tracking everything. This baby is dialed in and would suggest you review it. It tracks with the Govee!
Viva paper towels have the same texture as the blue towels but they may not be as thick. Do you think Viva towels would be good? I ask because I have those already.
@Myshire Farm thank you! Could I also keep a breeding pair together (1 male,1 female) as I am breeding for color and they are the only 2 of that color I have or will the male hurt her?
