Pigeon_decoyer Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 I know it looks a little over crowded but as soon as they hatch and can stand up they are put into the heat warmer thing, I stay in and check on them every half an hour to make sure they are doin ok!

Pigeon_decoyer Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 what sort of equipment do you need to hatch chicks not on a large scale just about 2 or 3 des it cost a lot of money? cheers Reed You need an incubater! Thats around £30 I think you can get small one's but im not certain. You need a special red filtered chick lamp! You also need a tray, like a cat litter tray, something where the chicks wont get out of in the first week! Then you would want some chick food, you can get this in any local pet store! And last of all fresh water every day! In a tray where the chick cant drown in! If you decide to start incubating your own eggs PM me and I will give you some more detail!

Hammergun Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Some ot those eggs look to be from different types of chicken, (and no, I don't mean the goose eggs before anyone comments). PD hopes to get his Christmas goose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
