Made my own from apples not my goal this time do you think all it would take is put a 1/4 cup of unpasturized in with the pasturized or would it also take sugar to get the yeast active again.

I know we covered this a long tine ago but I had a gallon of pasturized ACV given to me. How do I turn this into the good stuff?

Yea sometimes you have to do what you have to do. That is one of the reasons I'm not around much.

Forgot to say I can not post pics at this time I have no way of doing so.

Yes it is the wine cooler. I never thought about to much humidity because the chick that did not come out is dry. It makes sence though because there are drops of water on the glass after a hatch. I am going to install the humidity controler that I originaly bought and never instaled thought I...

I hate only being able to get on here every once in a while. Any way heres and update on the chick hatching and the home made incubator. I put 2 eggs in every day for a while and only 1 hatches every day both eggs pip and work all the way around the shell then 1 chick comes out and the other...

Thats alright I get anal sometimes also. We said almost the same thing .25 pounds is 4 ounces and .33 pounds is 5.3 ounces close enough to 6 Sorry I did not get a chance to address this sooner

Oh and thank you

Glad to hear that I thought I had something wrong because all the chicks I am hatching have pink to yellow legs and feet. Other than that they look fine and healthy. The parent look good also. Egg color leaves something to be desired I would rate them 4 or 5 I am only keeping the darkest to...

I would like to chime in and ask at hatch what color should the legs and feet be I see a lot of picks on here that the chicks have pinkish legs and feet is this normal before growing a while and then they turn slate.

My cats eat the fermented feed also and the chickens eat the cat food I do ferment in the winter months not the summer Because they get so much fresh in the summer and still eat about 4 ounces a day some are lazy and eat more than others I let them eat all they want at first that was a lot but...

I always have read 6 ounces for large chickens and 4 for small ones. If you divide a 50 pound bag by 30 chickens that is 1.6666666 pounds per bird per week divide that by 7 days and you get .238 which is a little less than 4 ounces a day. Thats in the area of what I feed. My coop is mouse...

Those would be some expensive chicks concidering I paid $120 for 12.shipped. With the price of gas I could give them to you and you would have 3 times that in them. My heart pounds fast as I hear the sweet sound of your typing. I missed and thought of you often but new If I got on here it would...

Hello all especially leahs mom. I'm fine. I finished my home built incubator It is built from a wine chiller, computer power supply, 12 volt window defroster, oven rack and temp controller. From start up it takes about 25 minutes to maintain a stable 100.5 degrees f. If door is opened after that...
