I have been unable to find any hatching eggs for Partridge Plymouth Rock eggs. There are a few hatcheries that sell the day old chicks but, call me old fashion, I prefer to hatch my own chicks lol.

I was given a 8' round galvanized steel stock tank to use as a brooder. It was used as a pond and has some rust, which i will remove. Does anyone have an idea of what i could use to coat it with once it is cleaned? I would rather use something other that tar since it will have chicks in it.

Hes any one ever tried the 110 VAC thermostats for baseboard heaters? Some of them have range of 75-120 deg with a temp scale on the adjustment nob and most are under $20?
