In good weather, I could enjoy doing it exceoe for the fence.

These companies put in a lot of work. Managing thousands of goats would be tough.
If I could keep them corralled a couple wouldn’t be too bad.

I'm going to run some errands before the cold arrives.

What the heck happened?

Life, time, weather.

Naw just a little more paint.

Life, time, weather.

for the cold you're expecting you better insulate that or do something to cover it for now. It doesn't look good.

Well a little update on the cabinet with the blown motor. Got the replacement motor in it and eggs back to incubating. I did take the humidity up to hatch level even though I had 3 racks of eggs not ready for that and placed 1 rack of quail eggs ready to lockdown in it. Yesterday had a pile of pips. When I was out there this morning, had a pile of chicks. LOL. Moved a bunch to the brooder and bunch more coming.

What does everyone do for humidity in home-built cabinet incubators?
