Ask The Moonshiner Anything!

I've never thought of anything like this or tried anything similar.
I quoted this to my Leghorn thread. It gets active so maybe someone has some thoughts or has tried something similar.

I will look on that thread and see what pops up, thanks

I haven't either. Which ones would you like to go to?

I have no idea. I don't even know what's there.
My cousin went to Bryce Canyon and I saw pictures of it. I'd like to go there.
Mostly he was going to see Billy the Kid's grave and stomping grounds. He spent awhile in 4 states I believe and took pics.
It all very interesting to me.

I'd love to go those places too.

What line of work are you in? I don't think I've read about that in any of the threads.

A lot of my working life I was a carpenter.
Last 11 years I've been working at a western pleasure show horse barn.

Hello! I plan on incubating my eggs with a Maticoopx, and after looking around here, I saw that some people refer to you with experience with a Maticoopx. Do you have any advice? My first hatch didn't go so well (with a different incubator), and I want to get as much tips as possible before I try again. The incubator should be arriving tomorrow, is there anything I should prepare beforehand? Other than the eggs, of course.

You can go post in this thread. I think there's still others around that have also used them.

The basic stuff for incubating such as using an additional thermometer and hygrometer might be good although my MaticoopX is accurate. Knowing what humidity you should run etc etc etc is always good.
As far as that incubator goes it's pretty easy to use and for me kind of a set it and forget one.
Only real issue I had was that when I load the trays with eggs there's always a bit of space left at one end that made the eggs want to tip over. I use thick hair ties around the trays and pushed up against the last egg so it holds them steady.
I got mine before they came with the water bottle so no knowledge about it. I have some humidity here so I dry hatch and then for lockdown I just add water to the smaller reserve. You'll need to figure out what works where you live.
Idk. Bounce to the thread I linked and I'm sure others will have some tips.
