I'm just kicking back today because it's my birthday.

Happy Birthday!

You're a bull like me. My b-day was Wednesday.

Thank's, and Happy belated birthday to you, too! I'm pretty sure that we should be heifer's though, as I know that I wasn't built right to be a bull!

@SonoranChick You can use CLR but I usually use vinegar and I keep any extras so I can change them out during the summer months. Our well water is hard too - extremely tasty and healthy but hard. Oh yeah - my DH just reminded me - they also have (usually) that cleaner in the kits. I have not a clue where my stuff is …. never tried to use it!!

That cleaning solution that comes with misters never worked for me if nothing else works you can take a needle to clean out each sprayer, its tedious but that's how my hubby gets them working for me

@meetthebubus My DH uses his air hose and blows them out after soaking in the vinegar. Sometimes I take the needle out with me just in case!
@DesertChic Happy Birthday!! Hope your day was as special as you are.

Soooo marshmellow mated successfully last night
Poor girls. I wonder if having a rooster helps to gets things going faster and them laying sooner? BC the buffs started laying at 4 1\2 months and it was around this same age that the ees are now that Roo started mating.... Meanwhile the ees are really interested in the nest boxes as long as there's a buff in one

This morning Bella (ee) was in one with Callie (buff) Callie is the only easy going one of the buffs

Hello!


Another 1st time incubator from PHX, AZ.


Was wondering what humidity levels work well for everyone near me? Trying to make my 1st hatch a successful one.

Thanks!

That would depend on how many day's that you are into the incubation, and what you are trying to hatch... chickens, ducks, turkey, etc.

Ok, so you haven't started the lock-down yet. The whole point of humidity is to keep those air cells on track, so start at 35 and go up or down depending on what the air cells are saying.

What I've been doing is trying to average around 40 +/-, and then at lockdown I just bring it up until there's condensation on the window, like between 60-80.
