    Will do! Theyre doing great... The only thing I had been concerned about was really watery poo from most of them & after I switched bulbs it's all looking quite normal I feel so horrible that he probably died because of my mistake, but I won't be doing it twice! The outside temps are fluctuating...

But 75% is the best I've had so far all from shipped eggs . After I hatch a few from my hens I may be done unless I can sell a few then...
