Yes Sally, I could see that ..should have said! I ended up not needing it. Only had three eggs from a guy who got a hen and a rooster from someone. Not sure why his eggs quit..all of mine but one are still going strong..and 9 of someone Else's. Not sure about his rooster. ?? And/or, he...
Not sure what everyone uses for splay legs or cutled toes..but I make booties out of black electrical tape. Yes, I said electrical tape. Believe it or not, it's easy to put on, and it comes off easy too! Not sure why it comes off easy, but it does.
I trim to make it round.

Sally, thanks for posting those ideas on how to separate chicks in the bator. I had asked earlier in the HAL..someone mentioned the strawberry holders..I pictured the little green baskets. When I went to the store, I didn't see the little green baskets, but those big clear plastic containers...
Oh wow, never thought about the stores. I do go to the stands come fall. They usually have a melon or two. Watermelon, or Cantalope. Will have to ask at the stores! This would be great for the winter!! All those greens.
I should probably do this.. I have had some left over from selling eggs before. Especially in the summer when they eat less. Love when I am not buying chicken food so often in the summer because they are happy free ranging.
I saw that someone mixed fruit in a mixer with ice. Anyone...
I do this. :) I have a chicken envelope, that I go straight to with the money after selling eggs. If I have sold a few chicks, or a hen, I usually put some in there too..but spend it on other things too. :)
I use the kitchen liner like many do. Some say they throw them in the wash. I personally throw them out when done. I get them at the dollar store.
I am covering the whole bator this time, and will use more sponges..makes up for an easy clean up.
Oh..it was you! Yes, post it again. I used a Boston Baked Bean can. And for the light bulb, it's one of those florescent bulbs. :) I just candled some EE eggs..and there are some darker blues and greens in there. I could see in them real well towards the bottom of the egg. I love that...
Just discovered this contest. Let's see if I can find that photo of my infamous candler that Sally loves laughing at. he he...someone actually saw it, and made one like it! Hope I can find that photo.
