Ill be back on here later today,,, Have to replace copper pipe to pex tubing at a friends house.
I am really looking forward to any tips or advice,,,,,, Thanks all.
So My female ancona has been laying eggs for a few weeks now and none of the eggs have had a bullseye in the yolk. There are 2 male anconas with her. (this will change as soon as I can locate a few more females) Im curious as to when Ill start seeing fertile eggs. Its dark here in Alaska and to...
We do have harsh winters up here and I have to agree with you on the wind.... I like the Salcha area. Hardly any wind. But when its summer time it makes up for the long winters. :)
The temp is rising today.... up from -20 to -3 YAY!! Its supposed to be above zero tomorrow and ill be able to take the ducks out and clean the coop fully. So glad for that. The bad part of winter wont be until January and February, March will still be a bit crappy but April will start to warm...
My hen is a 'night layer' I went out at 3 am and the egg was cold to the touch but not frozen. I think she is starting to lay past 10:00 pm but before midnight.
I was born in southeast Alaska, south of Juneau.
Charitypearl, I am going to be looking for some more female ducks, or eggs this spring. Maybe even sooner if I can get some fertile ancona eggs to hatch out. Maybe we can combine forces in our quest?? I'm outside of Fairbanks about 40 to 50 miles.
Well,, I figured it out. I will hang on to that fan but busted out my laptop cooling fan and pulled the fans out of that and will hard wire one of those in and have a toggle switch so it can be turned off from the outside. Ive still got a few weeks before I need to have the incubator dialed in...
I got a fan for my LG and want to install it. Tried 2 different phone charger cords and one did nothing the other made the fan move a lil bit then stop. Im not ellecrtically inclined,,,, more illiterate in that department. Anyway back to the point. The fan is a 12vDC 0.16A 1.9W Dc Brushless fan...
Im still experimenting with it in the hallway. My house is a small log cabin and storage space is limited. The closets are full and had to get another cabinet just to hide appliances. Not really a drafty house but with the two heat sources in the living room and the closets at the far end of the...
Ok, so Ive got a little giant incubator, no fan, that during the day it will hold close to 99.5 in the day time. It will drop to around 98.4 in the early hours of the morning.
I got a fan and set it up to circulate the air and got the temp to right about 100.5. Put 2 jars of warm water (with...
It hit -40 here this morning. I checked on the ducks in their box and they were happily quacking when I opened the lid. It was 43 above in there. The forcast is calling for cold temps all week with no break in sight. At least they have food, water and are warm.
Nate379,,,, I dont miss the...
It will get alot colder here in january and february. Last year a friends thermomiter was pegged out at -60. Thats as far as it would go. You know its cold out when your nose hairs freeze as soon as you step outside.
