    Which cheap incubator would you choose?

    Forced air isnt that much more than still air. Spend a little more and you wont regret it.

    Why won't my chicks hatch?

    Dont know why the arent hatching, but do yourself a favor and get a circulation fan for your incubator. It will make a world of difference in your hatch percentage.

    Feral Cat Trap As A Fox Trap?

    And you need to be dispatching the skunks you catch also. They will go after chickens, chicks, and eggs. They are also notorious rabies carriers.

    I raised parrots for over 20 years. At one time I had 50 pairs. I stand by my statement.

    How does one tame a conure?

    Never, never let that bird on your head. Height, whether in a tree or on your head is the dominate position in the bird world. Dont let her be dominate over you.

    Ihatched bobwhite about 50 years ago in a bucket and light bulb. Lined the.bucket with foil and adjusted the amount of foil to get the temp right. I actually was pretty succesful. I hatched parrot eggs in a converted flower dryer. Now I have two little giants with turners.
