    Algae in waterer

    Ever since I read somewhere on here about giving your birds Apple Cider vinegar, I've searched for the unfiltered one with no luck. But I have a 7 gallon waterer and when I fill it, I rinse it out with water first....and then add about a half cup of the vinegar. It stays very clean and no algae...

    My rooster is doing his job.....hooray!!!

    Ever since I read the post someone did with the pics of the "bullseyes" on the yolk, I've been looking at every egg I crack to eat.....sure enough, there is the bullseyes! I had never noticed it before. I cracked two eggs this morning to make french toast for breakfast...yummy. And sure enough...

    Heat sink experiment

    I've read on here where some people that have built a homemade incubator using jars of water as a "heat sink" to steady out the temp fluctuations in their bator....and it makes a lot of sense.

I have a LG still air incubator. On the first hatch, didn't really pay a lot of attention to humidity, as I should have...

    Brooder thermostat

    I have my brooder set up with a 250 watt heat lamp. Does good on cold nights but too warm for them during the day. So I initially added a dimmer switch to it but this also required adjusting manually and not forgetting to change it. I had an old electric heater that the heating element shorted...

    Vaccination

    Does anyone vaccinate their day old babies? Their parents were bought from MMH and were vaccinated for Marek's. So I just figured maybe these needed it too. Got the vaccine from Jeffer's and the syringes from the pharmacy here in town...after they hatched, did the deed. Didn't enjoy it, I can...
