Tiff 36 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) I'd like to hatch some eggs this spring, and figured I need to start thinking and planning now ... I'd like ducks, geese, peacocks, guinneas and exotic pheasants. But since it is my first time, is it wise spending (potentially) hundreds on hatching eggs when I've no real clue about how hard it will be? So I figure a test hatch of chickens is in order ... or is it? I know nothing about incubators, I've read bits about rotating ones, water (?) ones ... I just haven't a clue how to start advice please! Edited January 12, 2009 by His Wife Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m.hubbard 1 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) hi i would go with chicken eggs first them when ready spend the money on what ever you like heres a good page to start as it gives you the temps and times of diffrent breeds of birds . and you need to turn the eggs to or three times aday so may be easyer to get a automatic incubator.m http://www.msstate.edu/dept/poultry/hatch.htm#inc Edited January 12, 2009 by m.hubbard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
