Aspen,
when ya get old like me you don't do any more extra work than you have to so you can spend more time doing fun things instead.
The babies love the weeds out of the gardens.
all mine
The whites are getting soo pretty.
I just know this is a boy
Maybe if you broke bits of the forage cakes off and put in their feed bowl they would find out they are really good. Sometimes they are as picky as old men, don't want to try something new. It's amazing when they had peafowl treats thread going what some people's peas would eat was opposite of others. Mine wouldn't touch lettuce once they had watermelon and tomatoes. Other peoples wouldn't eat red things.
I've tore into my new/old incubator. I am never this lucky.I think it is going to work perfect and is all there. We blew it out with an air pig. The components look great. Started it up outside and the fan sounds great, in a few minutes it heated up 10 degrees. Rather cold out so didn't let run very long. A fellow that has been restoring them says he is drooling over my find. It even has a back up thermostat with an alarm that shuts it down if it gets to hot. It has a bit of surface rust but all the egg rollers in the 6 trays work. I think a bit of steal wool on the surface rust. A little sanding and tongue oil and I will be ready to go int the spring. It even still has the metal corner protectors on the outside. All the vents work perfect. I will add some pictures.
The gentleman sent me a manual said it is unheard of to get a water tray and hygrometer with these old units.
I thought a larger incubator would be a lot more complicated than they are. It has 6 trays way bigger than I would need for a whole years hatch.
I'm so anxious for spring and winter hasn't really started.
