Now that's a spread anyone would be proud of! Know what? I say go ahead and start counting your chickens.

What breed of chicken laid that egg? My luck, the only thing I would've found in the poop board would'da been.....

When I was young my dad built a big fine cypress incubator. He built our own turner with wooden dowels (wooden rods) connected by a narrow strip of inner tube rubber snaked over and under each dowel. It sorta looked like a foosball table with a lot more dowels. We'd turn one dowel and they...

When I browse through the website here I notice folks who are penciling the growth of the air cells in their eggs. Some of them have 6-7 or even more lines on the eggs. Are you guys candling this often? 5 lines would indicate candling every 4 days. How many of y'all mark the air cells or...

My incubator is holding a steady humidity of 30%. This is the "dryest" I can currently get. And, this without one drop of added water. What do y'all think of this number? This is my first attempt at the "dry hatch method". It is not easy to change something you've been doing for a long...

Hey Ms. Pam. You must have ESPN!!! LOL!!! We believe the cop spread the word that many people were on the lookout fo these two dogs. That was some perfect advice! It was killing me to watch my grandson grieve for those dogs. Your post was absolutely correct but, I had pretty much given...

They're back!!! My son has a friend who's a cop down in Plaquemines Parish. We give him rabbit, coons, deer and wild hog meat all the time. Also fish we shoot bowfishing. He's black and knows everyone on the East Bank. Well, he has seen Jake and Frazzley in action. He was amazed by them...

My son had two maniac little terriers. One was a fierce hunting Jack Roussel and the other was a Patterdale that was fabulous on coons and possums. Together they were the most incredible team I'd ever seen! Two nights ago he let them out to run off something unknown outside. They both are...

How do y'all keep your birds cool in these cauldron-like summers? And, what measures do y'all take for mosquitoes and gnats? I am going to have some eggs in the Hideous-Bator very soon. Finally!!! Anyway, y'all know it won't be long before the chicks are old enough to live outside. My...

I hear ya Brother. My son down east bank Plaquemines has a working Jack Russell and a working Patterdale. I love these two lil dogs like crazy. (I think as we get older we get softer). It's weird because when I go over to my son's house, they both come up to me and love on me. My son and...

I've been a member here for a long time. I didn't know this thread existed. Being a pedigreed French Cajun, I love my people. Please forgive me for writing sooo much here. It's been like being a kid in a candy store! Y'all have my word I will refrain from writing so much. But, I do have 1...

Tough spot confederate. Losing birds like that is a rotten feeling I know. Taking a dog that has a history of killing chickens and getting him to a point where you can trust him alone around your birds, is about as unlikely to end successfully as I know of. Even starting with a young dog it...

Hey lakones You're very welcome! If you ever need specific advice, ask away. I promise I will try to be more brief!! It became necessary for us to be proficient. As people abandoned their destroyed homes, their abandoned dogs that survived became feral and wild. They are also multiplying...

Hey Ms. Pam The link below will bring you to a page of Victor Coil Spring traps. I like the #4 size but, the #3 will work. The #4 has a wider opening between jaws and has stronger springs. They can get expensive but can pay for themselves quickly when dealing with the deaths of expensive...

Well emmie325, you sure came to the right place! These folks will help with anything you need and will be delighted to do so! Welcome! Ray

Hey lakeones My oldest son lives down the east bank of Plaquemines Parish. It was plenty wild before, but since hurricanes Katrina and Isaac totally destroyed the place, very few people stayed behind to rebuild. Well, it has become the wildest place I have ever seen. Raptors are horrendous...

When sprinkled over wet epoxy, the blasting sand has exposed sharp edges. But, when mixed into the epoxy, the surface is much smoother. Somewhat like Rhino Shield. Different boxes for breeds that are removable but keep the diff eggs seperated so that if u get an abnormality it's easier to...

Ms. Pam The epoxy resin is one of two of the most common resins used to apply fiberglass. And yes, you are absolutely correct. It must be given time to cure. As a result of your point on traction, I am now planning on mixing a little sand-blasting sand with the epoxy. We've used this...

I had baby quail fall between the rack and wall, get trapped and die. Had to remind myself not to have water/humidity tray where chicks could get into it. Almost designed it putting fan too low near chicks. Heating element within reach of biddies? I guess "safer for the chicks" was sorta...

Neither me nor my family's ever used a hatcher. I'm going to start building a dedicated hatcher to work along with the Hideous-bator. I have in mind some of the features I'd like to incorporate that differ from the incubator. Would y'all please list some suggestions for features in/on a...
