Yes it is the wine cooler. I never thought about to much humidity because the chick that did not come out is dry. It makes sence though because there are drops of water on the glass after a hatch. I am going to install the humidity controler that I originaly bought and never instaled thought I...
I hate only being able to get on here every once in a while. Any way heres and update on the chick hatching and the home made incubator. I put 2 eggs in every day for a while and only 1 hatches every day both eggs pip and work all the way around the shell then 1 chick comes out and the other...
Thats alright I get anal sometimes also. We said almost the same thing .25 pounds is 4 ounces and .33 pounds is 5.3 ounces close enough to 6

Yellow jack pine they make a lot of skids out of it. Can't hardly drive a nail in it without splitting so when I build feeders or what not out of it I predrill the holes.
They will be started pullets 4 months old. The firsts thing will be putting them in a building all their own except for 1 of my hens and leave till I am comfortable that they can be integrated with the others.
When I move them in with the others I will at first put them right in with the...
