    Please help: geese killed daily!

    Classic Weasel or mink. They are vicious. I've watched them kill full grown Canadian Geese. They tear off the head and neck and lap up the blood. They will also kill for fun I've heard of them getting into a Pheasant pens and killing dozens per night.

Also increase the humidity 10% during...

    Let's talk Ventilation, Co2 and oxygen levels in the incubator

    I only have 2 3/4" holes open and CO2 stays very low in the first 1/2-2/3 of incubation, then it starts to climb so I start opening more holes. Three inch hole with a fan sounds like a lot . You shouldn't need much air in the beginning. The more out side air you add the more risk of drafts...

    You don't candle Emus, you just weigh them for the appropriate weight loss

    Incubating in my bra: An experiment.

    I heard Dolly Parton hatched a dozen Ostrich eggs this way. I think Simon Cowell has been doing this for a long time.:lau
