    Tomorrow is Day 15 for Silkie babies!

    I am thinking that I should go ahead and start thinking about a brooder and what to make it out of. I am probably going to use a cardboard box. Is this a good shelter for them? We have cats and I am going to keep them in my room, but I want them to be safe from predatorrs. Any Sugestions?

    As some of you know, I am not home with the bator full of eggs. Our other grandad said that he would stay and check up on them tonight. Well he goes and calls us from our house.

    Uh-Oh. Eggs have been at 97-98 degrees for a day or two. Is this bad??

    I am sounding stupid but I told my dad that the thermometers didn't add up and that I have been adding 3 degrees to what the therm. says to get the actual temp in the bator. Well he says otherwise. He thinks that the therm. can't be off because of the mercury. I performed a test on them two...
