    When to Cull..Hard to Do

    I hate to ask this, but I have two chicks... (out of four) that need to go I'm afraid. This is my first hatch and I'm ready for the next - but I jest need to take care of this hatch first. Yeah, it'll be tough to do, but I gotta do it (and I'm going to need to do it a bunch in the future)...

    Fish thermometer, wet/dry bulb, and temp readings (for my bator)

    Yeah, I realized I posted in the wrong forum too late - oh well. Davaroo, thanks for the post. I don't have a water weasel, I was hoping the submerged therm would act the same way. It definitely cools and heats slower than the air therm and maintains a steady 6 degree difference between the...

    Hi all. This site is great. Thanks for all the nice reading and awesome advice. This is my first hatch and I'm VERY excited, but also very cautious. So here's my hatching question > I have two thermometers, one that reads the air temperature and one that reads the water temperatute...
