    New to incubating and getting an incubator

    Brilliant choice of incubator, very posh. I would eat your egg, enjoy it. When you eat your own eggs, it's something very special. As far as learning everything, read a lot and hit up youtube. With that incubator, you don't have to do much at all. I would get the basics, don't bother with...

    fermented food oops

    You can add anything to the fermenting bucket, all food benefits from fermentation. I use the rule "diversity is key". Alphalfa would be a great addition. I add a scoop of wheat bran to mine for an additional protein boost and it kind of thickens up the mix to a nicer consistancy to deal with.

    fermented food oops

    Nonsense. The mother in ACV is a bacteria that breeds inside the bottle. It is what started the cider making process, hence why it's called the mother.

    need help building gravity waterer

    I bought one of these for 20 bucks on ebay and hooked it up to a 5 gallon bucket with a push on hose fitting built into the side. I cut off some of my garden hose to connect them. Works very well. It's great because to clean it, you wash the junk out with your hand and it fills up automatically...

    Growing my own chicken feed

    I simply get a bag of scratch mix, mix in some peas and any other seeds I have on hand and plant that. I harvest the tops with a sickle when I want to feed the chooks. Hope that helps.

    Just throw some cayenne pepper in with the feed to deter squirrels while you're training your chooks.

    Electric fencing

    That looks to be the exact style of fence I use on our flock. Our area is riddled with foxes due to the amount of rabbits. I lost 6 to a fox, so the next morning I ordered a 50 metre length of electric netting and a Gallagher s17 energiser. I haven't lost a chook to a fox since. My only advice...

    Fermented Feed for Dogs Anyone?

    Fermented foods are good for everything mate. Youtube "fermented foods" or the "GAPS diet". I'm sure it would be fantastic for your dog and YOU.

    Has anyone used one of these 48 egg-incubators before?? (photos)

    To quote the ebay item description "Temperature & Humidity The temperature should be around 37.8 Celsius in a forced air (with fan) incubator. The best humidity is 45-50% for day 1-18 then 65% for the last few days. Set alarms to warn if the temperature or humidity drops too low. Adjusted up...

    Has anyone used one of these 48 egg-incubators before?? (photos)

    I haven't used one, but I am very interested in how it all turns out, because I have had my eye on one for a few days. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251350659231?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Looks identical. Let us know how it performs for you.
