This late at night and as cold as it is nothing stronger than hot cocoa. Summer is a whole nother kettle of fish. LOL
As for lice, I use Ivermectin pour on for cattle believe it or not. My birds are pretty good sized so I put 5 drops under a wing and it's done. I do it at night with a flashlight. Lot less hassle.
DH told me if I could find a reasonably priced Brinsea he would get it for me. That was all it took for me to set out on a quest. Believe it or not, I found it on the Brinsea site. It was a demo. Full warranty. I think it was something like 50 dollars off regular price. I showed it to him never thinking he would really get it for me but he did. It should suit my needs nicely. I had thought about a Hova Bator but really didn't really want to hatch that many eggs at once, especially when I usually I have a couple three broody Buff Orpinton hens every summer. Since I'm retired I really don't mind doing the turning myself.
I just have one question. Why don't they include a free prescription for Xanax with every purchase? I have 5 years experience as an OB nurse, but when one of my hens is sitting on a bunch of eggs, I'm a wreck. I can just imagine what I will be like when the incubator is fired up.
an egg in one 2 days in a row (I only have one bird in there that is laying, the other escaped)
