    Taxidermy

    I'm pretty comfortable with taxidermy rd animals, I'm sure it is of debate in some places, but... Does anyone here have any stuffed chickens? I was at an antique shop a few years ago and they had a dusty old taxidermy rooster. It was named something funny I don't remember.

    I have a Leahy 624 redwood incubator, and I've noticed something recently. [/IMG] So that is basically a metal slide-out protective covering for the heating element. I noticed that on the underside of the metal covering it has an advertisement for Rival Crockpot. I was curious if anyone else...

    Singer Treadle Sewing machine model 15-88 ~Pictures~

    I just got this baby for 60 dollars at an antique shop. Although it shines nice and bright in the photos, it didn't start out that way, I had to put in about 3 hours of straight non stop work to get it to this point.

    Well, I became very interested in Depression glass, and after many trips to multiple antique shops, I just couldn't find what I was looking for.

    Zoo Med Digital thermometer... any good? +Picture+

    I saw it at Petco the other day, and it is only 7 Bucks. I figured I'd ask if any of you guys have used it. It has a long probe, and I am thinking of buying it to use in the incubators. Here's Google Image of it. The package says it is very accurate, and I think it even said it reacted quickly...

    How to instantly access your BYC page?

    I have noticed that the old website had a button to access a person's page directly below their avatar. Am I missing something? When I want to access my own page, I have to go to my profile, and scroll through a bunch of my posts to get to my pages.

    Well, I have the big fridge incubator, but I can't ever bring up the high enough for lock down. I have a cooler incubator as a hatcher, but it can't hold as many eggs as the fridge incubator, so I am forced to hatch in it. I also don't want to make another cooler incubator, so this is my...

    Homemade Christmas Gift suggestions.

    I was wondering if y'all could give me some suggestions on homemade gifts for Christmas. I can sew and crochet, but I don't do blankets or quilts I have made a quilt before, but they just take too long to make for me to share with someone on Sunday.
