    I had a coconut fall from a tree about 6 feet high and hit my chicken. She ran around like crazy but is now resting by the coop. Will she get better? Her wings and legs feel unbroken

    How to reduce the humidity in my incubator

    How well does the rice/ silica work? I’m hatching quail eggs so no candling as I can’t see anything with all the spots. I’m using a still air incubator temp at 101F and the humidity is staying at 70-75%. I’m on day 4. I’m fighting local humidity here in Florida.

    using heating cable in incubator

    Did this work? I’m doing this now with a home made still air bator. I have multiple thermometers stating it’s 102-100 in the box and rotate the quail eggs every 3-4 hours around inside when I turn. Only on day 2. I chose x-mis lights because a 49 w bulb made my box 250degrees
