[sumi]

Wow I missed 218 posts! I had a gallery showing this weekend so I was unable to be online all weekend and yesterday! Well I go into lockdown tomorrow!

Is that all? LOL I leave this tread for last in the mornings, as there is always loads of unread posts. The other morning I got 93 or something.

Good luck with your hatch!!

Question:

I found ONE egg in the silkies pen, light tan of good silky size, but wrinkled a bit and thin, cause I accidently stuck my finger through it.
Havent had one since last week when I found this one in the nest box. so was it splash tink or white juliet?

Tink was just finishing up a brood when I got her this sept. No eggs since
Juliet born May 2012 no eggs yet.

I noticed some poo on tinks butt last fridayso she had a soak in some epsom salt and a good washing of feet and such.
Then she had the epsom salt oral dose and I quarantined with acv in water and feed with ACV and probotics.... after a day she had great poo's so she went back in....
No issues since, but no eggs.

I did put calcium chip grit in the food and a little bucket in the pen.

I found a cage in the basement that seemed perfect for Hope, so I am going to wash it out (REALLY GOOD) and set it all up and put Hope in it. She doesn't need the heat anymore! I also built a perch/litter box that I can set her in, and she will just sit with me for hours. It's made out of a cardboard box with a plastic litter box filled with paper on the bottom and an old belt for the perch, wrapped around the box and taped. It is so comfy for her feet- she loves it! D
I shall show pics later!!!!

For anyone looking to build a cooler type incubator check this place out http://incubatorwarehouse.com/ I have nothing to do with this company but plan to use them when I build my wood cabinet incubator.And anyone wanting a good book to read check out Hatching&Brooding your own chicks by Gail Damerow it's just not chickens,but ducks,turkeys,geese,and guinea fowl.I got mine at Barnes and Noble 24.95 well worth the read.Also if you have a nook I just downloaded 21 books on Incubation and chickens for free.
