    I have ran into production issues. There may be another issue. Did you add to the flock, or browse somewhere that might have brought something home. I am having to isolate chickens.. treat them for weeks before adding them back yo the flock or burying them..

    I have a Styrofoam one I hate. It kills my poor babies with its spikes and unreliable gauges. I have to ask, why do you use the Styrofoam one for hatching? It seems with the plastic, it would be easy to see the progress. I was seriously considering getting a sportsman, but I may be talking...

    I haven't had any issues with my roos and turkeys. I guess im lucky. My two toms were trying to kill each other so i sold the best looking one. The family i sold it too is telling me they are having trouble with him and thier roosters. They are talking about getting rid of him.

    I guess I sold the aggressive turkey. Curly seems good with them all. I am going to keep them separated in the coup.

    My commercial white hen went to laying big time. She laid her first egg on the floor of their coup, with my French Marans, which she mothers. I made her a nest which I didn't know if she would start using it, but she did immediately. I never saw my tom, a blue slate, mate with her, but my...

    So... first off.. drink of choice: Cinnabon Vodka, Cream soda, and a little root beer... Don't knock it.. it's really good.. So I went by and seen my Mo.../ now Maverick. .. it wasn't withdrawals, as I was getting hatching eggs, but it was so nice to see him again. I'm getting Black Copper...

    Well.. I have someone, I think, that has a Sportsman incubator.. I'm paying $1 every hatch... as long as that works out, I think I will continue, but if it doesn't, I'm going to get a sportsman myself. I'm sick... this stuff is addictive. ..

    I gave up on my foam incubator, but I might use it for at least the first week or two after hatch..

    :-) Maybe I should keep some shoes to change into... I really want to go check out the benton auction. . I usually wear my old cover alls from my motor pool days and rubber boots around here... I free range, so that alone could bring bad results but it would break my heart to bring something...
