    Comment by 'Righteous Rstr' in article 'Egg failure to hatch - Diagnosing incubation problems'

    My incubator holds 240 eggs, normally I add eggs daily in rotation 5-25 depending . Due to staggered hatches it's pretty much impossible to fine tune the machine! I'd heard vinegar diluted w/ water spray helps soften the egg shell.My little guys need too much help as is often at piping dries...

    ISO Wisdom......2 part question. 1.This season is my 3rd ever incubating chicken eggs. 35yrs of natu

    That being said 4 yrs ago my totally free rangers (100%) just add water birds were decimated by the one predator I won't dispatch, Cuban renters. My flock was + or - 85-100 birds who slept in trees, foraged their own feed on 35 acres and best of all set on and hatched the eggs in crude connected...

    Prevention of COCCIDIOSIS and other poultry diseases in chicks~ ACV.

    I really don't feel that is the way to go here especially because there is a need to speak for those who cannot. In fact I sat through the whole video and to put it mildly agree wholeheartedly. Just please help me understand how you made the decision to post it here ? I chose my words as...

    Had a mysterious illness last season that devastated in excess of 150 birds. Contacted FL Dept. of A

    Of course after the girls in haz-mat gear took blood and saliva samples it took them 5 weeks to tell me that ! What they did advise was to innoculate peeps BEFORE I introduce them into my 4 stage brooder. The innoculation was an pump spray in the face just prior to dipping their beeks in water...

    Prevention of COCCIDIOSIS and other poultry diseases in chicks~ ACV.

    Dear "Bee Kissed", I enjoy gleening knowledge in the wonderful format You present it. However there is a Youtube link at the end of your post referring to the role Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in pre-war Europe and the ignorance and apathy most young Amer- icans seem to share. While I am...

    Losing 1-7 birds a day in Daytona, ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE MOST WELCOME!!!!

    Of late my local feed store has stopped selling Manna-Pro starter crumble. I can't help but wonder as I had an almost non-existent death rate before . I've had a 200+ bird avg this season thanks to BYC "dry method" of hatch ing .I've been told that I should have innoculated at day 2. Does anyone...

    Just curious who else is living super frugal

    Congratulations you have just made our once great nation a little worse. I'm sure the 90% profit made by China was gratefully received. May your slippers fall apart soon, then buy a pair mfg by the U.S. ! You actually may have to suffer the hardship of searching for them and paying a lot more...

    Just curious who else is living super frugal

    Want a decent break from this as I do ,google Keystone pipeline and then begin a campaign to hound your Federal reps . This issue revolves around 40% of the imported oil being gone overnight we have trillions of untapped barrels in Alaska. Obama and his "gang green" have stifled this project...

    How to Ask my Parents to move out?!

    That's how you got rid of habitual problems in rent houses. Hence replace doors and service meter EARLY Monday(no one will believe them that way) it sure clarify's resolve and ends BS. You can make up later and laugh about it,trust me. RR

    How to Ask my Parents to move out?!

    If all else fails remove the outside doors and shut the power off, it sounds extreme but it's a way to show your resolve . Arguing has put you where you are they don't respect you. Just go to a friendly place for a weekend remember to bring the doors and the meter. Early Monday put them back and...

    How to Ask my Parents to move out?!

    I'm so sorry, you reminded me why I maintain a 1000 mile buffer zone from my mother . All I can say is if you are being truthful and accurate ( I believe you are ) intervene before it gets worse. People tend to abuse family members even though they love you ,it's an absolute untenable situation...

    So excited, first time using igloo cooler for day 18 lockdown !

    Had tremendous increase last season using "dry method" in huge 300+ egg bator. Obviously having only 9-12 eggs a day my hatch dates were staggered at best. This attempt lacked the final lock down bator even so my hatch rates tripled ! Now I'm tweaking an igloo cooler to stabilize temp and...

    $20 PULLET STARTER COOP BUILT ONTO OLD PICK UP BED LINER "FUNCTION BEFORE FASHION".

    Laugh it up. When my flock was 100% free ranging and self feeding I had it made and didn't even know it For me anyway free rangers had a 20% survival rate at six months. Not much I could do about it. Mama would appear one day with a dozen or so shiny new peepers ! About the only help that could...

    Got Flogged by A rooster tonight

    Sounds like you got a keeper. Keep in mind his job is to protect those girls. IN honesty though I had one sob that spurred my 8 yr old son from time to time ,I let him choose kill him or keep him. My son let this go on for 6 months finally when my kid was cowering against my truck with blood...

    CORN SNAKE #4 "NO LUMPS" ! (GRAPHIC)

    Yip per , I almost always identify them POST MORTEM . If snake grabber tongs were in my pen next to the machete and shovel I would capture poisonous ones live to donate them for milking. Truth is two nesting boxes are dark and hard to reach I reached in to get the eggs one day and HOLY COW felt...

    CORN SNAKE #4 "NO LUMPS" ! (GRAPHIC)

    Corn, rat,chicken you can call them Charlie Brown snakes ! THEY ARE MY WORST PEEPINATORS. The only reason they get caught normally is they squeeze in then eat every thing and can't get out. It helps with the death toll,count the lumps. I probably wouldn't mind except they seem to "target eggs"...
