So here's the story:
My father-in-law passed back in January and I've been helping my mother-in-law cleanup her property and sell things she has no use for. They have this 24 foot pontoon boat that has been sitting for 5 years! It has a mercury force 75HP outboard and I don't know much about...
Well I think I have everything ready today to keep the flock cool and comfortable. I bought these cool misting systems from Amazon and have them installed, wading pools are all clean and refilled and a dozen 1-gallon waterers are filled with ice water and placed throughout the property. I even...
I adopted a male blue runner duck today and have him in a quarantine pen where he'll remain for the next couple weeks.

I set 3 dozen eggs in my LG last Thurday evening and have been turning 3x per day. I'm using the dry incuabtion method and also per the recommendation of other BYCers, I have my eggs in the cartons (just the bottom part) and I'm turning the whole incubator.
I found another LG with an egg turner...
I have my LG still air regulated, been holding at 99.5 for 16 hours now, just went by and picked up 3 dozen aggs from a local supplier and planning on getting them in when my wife gets home today...
Question #1 - I'm not using an egg turner, so, do I start turning them tomorrow ifI set them...
