    Fox problem

    I DON'T judge anyone,a fox isn't human and does not have human intelligence or think like a human.....it's humans that "assume" the fox possesses "human traits"...they may watch and learn just like domestic dogs but you're giving them abilities they don't possess.

    This is an unhealthy bator to hatch baby chicks!! It needs to hold 99.5 constant daily temp and "I use dry humidity...20-30% for 18 days and increase it to 65-70% during lockdown.
