"Hunger Games"....WOW, what a series of books.....intended for young adults, but still....really good writing....A friend posted that she had just finished her daughter's copy in prep for taking her daughters to the movie this weekend....so I got the first one "hunger Games" ....and then the second and then the third....I like to read.....but 3 books in as many days is a bit much even for me....if that gives you any idea how good the books were.  

 

Chicks are doing wonderful.   Growing and growing.   Hens are doing well also.   One day this week I got 10 eggs.   Not sure I want them to lay that many every day.....and once the chicks start laying late this summer Featherz and I will have to find a co-op that wants our eggs cuz we are both gonna have a fridge full.   Of course there is always the City Mission....I'm sure they would take them....

What should I do??? Pharmchickmom are you doing the dry incubating. Is that the best method? Help, I want to hatch these babies out on Easter so the girls(4 & 2) will have easter chickies. I hope I didn't mess them up

I have the 1588 and no problem here.  I add water with an eye dropper through the vent hole which is open all the time.  In fact I don't know where the plug is.  If I do feel the need to plug it I use a sharpie.

 

I can never get it to hold a % but give or take seems to work fine.  Now after day 19 I do work to get it to 65% .

HUNGER GAMES 
 

 

I put water in when I set the eggs and then .....  at lockdown.  That's it, ever.
