    Radio in coop?

    Has anyone ever tried playing a radio in the coop at night, tuned to human voices talking? I wonder if predators would at first be scared off but then acclimate to the sound and realize there are no humans? I am wondering what other people's experiences have been, and whether this is worth...

    New to candling!!

    This is my first post ever because I had to share my excitement with someone who would understand! I have hatched ducks successfully many times, but without really knowing what I was doing. With the help of this site I have become much more knowledgable, and this time have decided to learn to...
