    Soap tarnishing polished aluminum horse trailer?

    Been a while since i logged in, thanks so much for the replies. The thing that is puzzling me is we have used this same multi-purpose cleaner on everything. Even other polished aluminum stuff. This horse trailer is the first thing we had to tarnish with it. Makes me think it might have been a...

    king snake in the brooder

    i have always liked king snakes, but never thought they would bother my chickens. i guess any snake around my chickens is going to be a dead snake. dont want to risk my babies getting hurt or ate.

    Was helping my dad clean his horse trailer today and we sprayed an all purpose soap/degreaser on the top of it and on the AC shrouds to take off the mildew. everywhere on the sides of the horse trailer where the soap/mildew touched the aluminum panels, looks like acid or something ran down the...

    Adding water to my incubator

    The last dry incubation paper i read suggested at running between 15-20% humidity for the first 17 days. not sure how anyone would get it that low, atleast in an area like i live in.

    Adding water to my incubator

    I was considering just unplugging my turner and leaving it in for hatching, had read that removing the turner would drop the egg further fromthe element and change the internal temp of the eggs. but now thinking about it, i dont think that would be an issue since i installed a fan... back on the...

    Adding water to my incubator

Other than that, adding water in its built in tray is extremely hard to do, i end up having to leave 4 middle egg slots empty so i can pour...

    Adding a fan to my incubator

    great! worked like a charm, used some short screws + gorilla glue to secure it to to top, is there any time that i need to unplug the fan? or just leave it running 24/7 until they hatch

    Adding a fan to my incubator

    i took the cpu fan off of an old computer that has been sitting in a closet after seeing a few videos. hooked it up to a power converter and have it running, the old fan is too big to put inside the incubator, was debating cutting a small square hole in the top of my styrofoam incubator and just...
