My husband build me a huge 6 foot brooder that I will have on my empty porch for this year. Any suggestions to keeping flies to a minimum out there? Thanks.
I don't know why it's so hard sometimes to get answers on here. I Have a reptile bulb in my brooder. As long as you have a thermometer and keep the temps proper.....
My husband just noticed that we had one egg further alongalong than any... We just didn't see it because it pipped and started to zip UNDERNEATH! We just rolled it over without opening the incubator but now it's not moving at all..... Will it be OK??
