[hillfloweranch]

I never calculated for altitude? I'm at approx 3500'

When you candle your egg day 18 you will see one side of the air cell dips lower than the rest, out an X on the lowest part of the air Cell dip, and lay them with this mark up. then you an see them pip and they are in position for hatching!

OH! Ok.

LAYER MASH

I run with two buckets alternating daily, no straining!


Fill one 5 gal bucket a little less than HALF WAY WITH HOT tap water
ADD 1 cup ACV with mother
ADD layer mash little at a time until thick like a thick milk shake, make sure your at least 4" below the top of the bucket when done so it don't puff up over the top.
Sit for 3 full days, Stir only one time per day! and don't stir the day you use it, take feed off the top, only stir after replenishing. Cover with cheese cloth as it MUST BREATHE!

On feed day, take off the top (DONT STIR) Only what you intend to feed, add enough HOT tap water to replace what you took add mash and mix to THIcK shake again,
I use two bukets, don't strain it should get thick enough to use, you may have to get used to how thick to mix it as it thickens and puffs up as it sits.

I filled the to rubber maid pitchers I bought. One for chicks, one for chickens. I didn't add that much ACV. Had just a little and the store didn't have it today. ALL sold out. You wonder why???

Do you really have to let it sit for 3 days. I thought I read you can use it the next day. Just wondering.

Since we don't have the info in the article, can someone put a paragraph summary together and some links to help others out with Altitude and hatching? Can be more than one person, we are friends we can work together too, the article sure shows that!
