I have only been hatching 1x per year the last couple of years and can't remember what time of day I set the eggs so that most of the eggs will hatch while the kids are at school. I am considering staggering the time of day that I put the eggs in so that there will be some hatching all day...

I ordered one this week - will get it in 2 weeks...will let you know what kind if I can.

I have 2 females that did not grow up together who live in the same Hutch just fine. They even raised their litters together last spring

Aspen has a strong scent. I get my pine shavings at the farm supply store.

don't tell her you posted that here - you want to stay on her good side My kids do funny things all the time - just recently my oldest was sitting on his bed reaching up saying "the sun, the sun, I found the sun!!!!"

Mine is very simple - cut up and boil the tomoatoes, run through collander, flavor with salt and sugar, bring back to boil, pour into jars.....50 qts this year. Very versatile, can be used in lots of things

I have 36 eggs in the bator to hatch in the 4th grade class at my boys school.....all bantam - should I stop turning earlier than day 18? I'm used to hatching standards and wondered if it was any different.
