Careful with the humidity, I hiked it up because I had a lot of saddle air cells. Most all of them (22) were full of liquid that was like gel and turned to glue and I had to assist most of them out of their shells. I kept the humidity around 50% for the first 18 days then upped to 65%. It ended up being too high.
Awww..so cute!
most of the new crew pardon their mess !! lol

Tony told rennerae when roosters attack as his house they get a beer can up the tuckus and hit the grill

and said watching the news was too much for her
Oz had trouble sleeping ... he was so eggsited over that first pullet eggs
and i think we are all happy and eggcited for him about the egg and his whole adventure
Sally shared some interesting quail info and now it has chicknfun dreaming or quails
Sumi told oz "you set out to do a pretty amazing thing. You went above and beyond what the average chicken owner would to get a few eggs! It took 5 months, lots and lots and lots of planning, travelling, mishaps, joys and tears, but you saw it through and turned it into quite a story that kept loads of members (and lurkers) entertained and hopefully inspired a few of them too! I know you inspired me! So many people have these crazy ideas and do absolutely nothing about it. Kudos to you I would love to see you write a book on this wonderful adventure and I will read it, promise!
P.S. I hope we're going to get a pic of The Egg. "
