  1. do you boys prefer the talpex to the half barrel duffus type i`ve got a dozen talpex, a dozen trapline and various old sissor types i use them all sometimes but 99 times out of 100 use the half barrel of which i have about 160 i just find them easyer to use and much more effective and discreet when set. half barrel is king for me i like to try traps i havent used before but always go back to what i know works for me.

  8. just let me know when your ready mate and i`ll post you some light sussex eggs as thats what i keep, just ask to cover postage if thats o.k
  9. no the fertility should'nt be down because of the weather it should remain the same as long as your birds have enough room to move about and keep active but with weather like this heat lamps will be required longer once the eggs have hatched to keep the chicks warm ,give it go you will enjoy the experience tj this is true ,i`ve got a broody sussex it the moment and the cocks still performing they dont seem to bothered by the weather so i assume the eggs should still be fine as long as they dont freeze before you collect them
  10. most of the humidity metres that are small enough to fit in a little incubator are crap, your better off just filling one of them if you have two sections for water or just half filling if you have only one section, then stop turning and fill up all water trays 3 days proir to hatching.
  11. as said keep an eye on the water and run it for a good day before setting the eggs to warm it through and settle to the set temp also keep it in a room that has a stable temp as if it changes to much it will affect your hatch rate, just things like direct sunlight or draughts are best avoided. also dont panic if it takes a few hours after setting the eggs to get back up to temp if you adjust it to soon it may well go well over later when your not watching it.
  12. you can soak some wheat in cooking oil to give some extra fat or use lard and make a cake like you would for wild birds they seem to like this if its very cold
