EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Lazy Farmer]

You don't think 4 packages are enough? 8 then?

My Lawyer has advised me to not touch this even with a ten foot pole.

Chicken eggs and yes I have an auto turner.

So you want to bring the humidity down like mentioned earlier.
What is the humidity where you live? It must be fairly high.

I skimmed a few posts, and have a few responses.
@kwhites634 I didn't look at the number of strings. I just ordered what I was told to.
I hope it's worth the money.
@BantyChooks I'm afraid of cows because they are big and clumsy. I don't mind them when they are calves, minis or behind a fence. I just don't want to be standing next to a full sized cow. Even if they are laying down.

I'll admit I haven't looked...but the farm is a century + old. It's terribly old looking stuff coming out of the box. The boxes at my grandparents farm were from 1960s and it looks brand new compared to this stuff. This is ancient. I feel safest leaving it for the electrician...he has to come out to wire in other farm related stuff.

Paper wrapped wire is very dangerous as is some of the old plastic from years ago. Rats and other vermin love to eat the paper causing shorts.

It would be expensive to change out all that copper but you will be much safer

The lawn tractor is de-fenced. The biggest pen is about ready to be reinhabited. I just need to decide on a temporary run. I lost a good pair of needle nosed pliers. They fell off the mower while I was racing around the yard.

Do you have any water in the incubator resevoirs right now?

I'm not exactly sure to tell you how to bring the humidity down as I've never had to that. Someone here must know.

What's the best way to bring down humidity people on here?

It's just a small garage. It wouldn't take much for him to do it.

The FIL rewired the old barn about 15 years ago. There are no plug ins...so I'd like some put in there as well. There's about 2-3 days worth of things here for him to do. The machine shed still needs to be wired.

Skunks I trapped were drawn in by eggs. I should have tried marshmallows... But that's a waste of a delicious food.

Marshmallows would never make it to the trap.
