Ok awesome! Thanks!

I jurt got my premire one brooder in on monday and i really like it so far! Im going to start running it ince i get my brooder box set up

And its a small! Im impressed with the size! I can easily fit 20-30 chicks depending on the size of them!

The legs are hard to pop in at first but changing the level is easy and excellent!

Thanks for the review! I have been looking at those.

So, I had a dream last night.  Well, two dreams but the second one I won't get into too much detail about because it dealt with X-Men style mutants being raised in an orpanage by a staff that had no idea that these kids were special.  I woke up after they had gotten the call that there was a major mission that they had to undertake.  Of course, their first task was to escape from the orphanage without being caught or found out.  Just when the security and one of the head staffers was trying to catch them all after they'd gotten out of the building and were on the lawn, I woke up so I don't know if they escaped or not.

The dream that I really wanted to post about was a simple one.  I dreamt that on day 6 (which is today) of my HAL clutch, I went to the incubator to turn the eggs but they had all hatched!!!  I was so surprised, confused and panicked.  Here I was scrambling around, not to get things ready to transport them to the brooder but instead to get a camera, get them all together and still long enough to take a group photo.  I had my brother helping me and all I could think was "it has to be a clear photo so Ron can count them." 

I never did really question how they could have hatched that early.  My only other real concern was that they were almost fully feathered so Ron might not believe that these were my HAL clutch.

LOL

At least they weren't mutant chickens... Although maybe that's why they hatched early

LOL yeah, especially in conjunction with the X-men type mutant dream I had earlier!

But I think the point about the chick dream that I didn't emphasize enough was when I said trying to get them together and still long enough for a group photo, think kindergarten class photo! I was literally trying to get them in lines and spaced evenly so that I could get everyone in the shot.

Simply posting to say that I really should post a comment whenever I hop on to catch up, so that when I click "go to my last post", I can end up somewhat much farther than I have already read..... Because THIS THREAD IS MOVING SO FAST!!! LOL
I'll catch up and post again not-so-soon hahahaha.

Tempted to candle tonight, but am feeling a little "DON'T- YOU-DARE-TOUCH-YOUR-EGGS!!!" After a few alcoholic ginger beers this arvo.
Must. Refrain. Tomorrow......so I can candle, to see how my temperature arguments with my incubator have been going.
Reminding myself that a little on the lower side is much better than a little on the higher side.
Would love to find a single accurate thermometer, that reads correct every time!!

This is nothing, wait until the Easter Hatch A Long happens! You wake up to over a 100 posts at times. From where you left off.
