    Need assurance

    I might be silly but I've never hatched eggs before and I want not to fail. My neighbor loaned me an incubator. It's a still air Little Giant with an egg turner. I have the thermostat set at 101. with the probe taped the top of the unit. Is that where I should have it taped? I will test it...

    Is this unusual?

    The broiler I rescued and rehabilitated after it fell off the truck has now laid 4 eggs in 4 days. Is this production from a broiler the normal thing?

    Made a mistake

    I went to the feed store and asked for 50 lbs of laying pellets instead of 50 lbs of chick starter. My mind was on other things...I didn't notice my mistake until I got home and opened the bag. My chicks are only 2 1/2 months old, but they range free during the day so they have access to bugs...
