No mine is fine but I was having problems with my Adobe Flash (the program that dives the commercials in the margins). I had to download a new copy of it.
I had humidity get into my digital thermometer and ruin the temp portion of it. The humidity numbers still work but the temp numbers read all crazy. Has anyone else had a malfunction like this with this digital hydrometer/thermometer? Mine is the same model in these pictures.
I bought some bulbs from a group that employs only handicapped. They are 5 year bulbs. If anyone is interested I can give you there contact information.
I know it is tough. I had to do that with a kitten that got underfoot and stepped on (by me) once. I had half crushed it's poor head. There was no fixing that.
You need to get you a Shetland Sheepdog. I have a halfbred one (the other half is Black Lab). She is very good at keeping foxes and rabbits and squirrels possoms and raccoons out of my 5 acre property. For the hawks you might try netting the backyard so that they can't get to them. I bought a...
Amanda if you haven't already thought of this check out some of your local gun stores if they will let you put an ad on their bulletin board. Many of those who are nervously stocking up on ammo could/should be interested in stocking up on chickens if they have not run any before. I was told it...
Ok lets see if I can describe this accurately without whipping out my drawing pencils. If you have a square block of eggs (like 2 18 egg cartons together or an egg flat), you would move the block from one corner to the next corner causing the fluid inside the eggs to shift a complete 360˚ after...
I think I have the thing for you. Now I haven't done this personally yet but I will later today. I ran into this post on Facebook about using Cream of Tartar as a stain remover.
In my little world, items like cream of tartar (potassium bitartrate) are not simply a super way to stabilize egg...
I used to live in Fayettville and then Ft Bragg. There are rural areas all around there outside of the city and no one was selling fertile eggs? I guess it has grown up a lot since I left in 1994.
I discovered something today. I am sure some of the old hats know it but if you float an egg that has spoiled and is under pressure then it gives off tiny bubbles.
Dead fish is worse. When I was in college (eons ago) they were running an inventory of the chemicals for the science classes. Someone fumbled and dropped the bottle of the chemical (about 4 oz.) and broke it. They had to evacuate the building. All 4 stories. They broke it in the basement but it...
Well today is my hatch day and nothing yet. I am expecting at least %50 casualties. Temp swings, Post Office scramble, Humidity levels. Two eggs went bad already and I took the stinkers out. I would like to get at least one chick. Just one chick and I'll be happy.
That gives me hope with mine. I also had some wild swings Tomorrow is Lockdown. I have had to throw out one stinky egg (it arrived cracked and I waxed it up). I have 8 Cream Legbars, 2 Easter Eggers, 4 Wyandottes, 12 Speckled Sussex, 2 Coronation Sussex, 8 mixed bantam (Cochin, Serama, D'Uccle)...
