    funny you mention the dust, when the meal bag of pellets goes down far it's dusty, what I do is mist feeder with water then throw pellets in it soaks in to dust leaving pellets dry. Even my pigs get pellets instead of sow meal, that shit would choke you if not steeped in water Nice one :-)

    you are not kidding CM ,hats off to you greyface they are stunning !Agreed :-)

    I would say pellets would be better than mash, simply because of the dust factor, unless dampened. A lot of dusty feed can cause respiratory problems. Whole grains/pellets will reduce that. Atb

    Yep, they look young to me. Should be getting eggs soon. Make sure they have a good diet, plenty of calcium for shell formation, and greens. Best of luck

    Devon, A lot depends on the site/situation of the incubator. Ideally your looking for an even room temp, with not too many temp fluctuations. Eggs are naturally cooled when the hen leaves the nest, and she would regulate higher temps better. It sounds like your incubator is up and down a bit. I find the fan assisted one's have to be around 37.5, I have mine alarmed at .2 deg for high temp. Still air on the other hand I have set at 38 deg, with good results. The hatchings this yr have been dry. Even temps are the best imho, but that can be difficult I know. Find the best spot to place
