O.K. I think some of you might have misunderstood me so I will attempt to explain.
There are 30+ layers of paper towels for them to fall on, AND this is the first "test" run of the bator. I plan on making hatching trays.
And YES, wood ducks in the wild nest over water. the chicks fall into...
The one rack can hold a BUNCH if I put them side by side in every hole.. I think it's 299 holes in that rack. All I can say about the prices is that if they don't sell good, I can always eat them!! well, come to think of it, if they do sell good, I'm still eating them! I plan on getting a side...
Yea, I just tip the rack for the quail. and hand turn the eggs on the fridge racks. The chicks only drop about 8 inches or so.. nothing in my opinion that would harm them since some breeds of chicks fall FEET before hitting the ground or water..
First run of my $17 fridge-a-bator!
100 watt light bulb in a lamp socket! Fan from the underside of the fridge used to cool the heat exchanger. Thermostat is a $8 water heater thermostat.
NOTICE the thermostat is ATTACHED to the metal fan guard! With the back TOUCHING the metal! without this...
