Hi Ant Farm! I am Meltel and I too have a problem... I too came home with 2 "big curly ducks" a couple months ago.... and all of a sudden I won this "contest" for a new bator and my 2 big curly ducks started laying these eggs in a double bubble wrapped box and the eggs had names and pens imprinted on them around the same time......

LOL!!!

sorry for the repeat! Still learning on the fly... Has anybody got any input on automatic humidity control good or bad?

many people love them

I'm lucky to maintain 30% RH with multiple calibrated hygros...fine until I need to hatch. I may move everything to the basement but it's alot cooler

i think the basement is a great idea, you just want the area around it to be consistent

Largest with steel tub & pneumatic tires is only 6cf.@ Grainger; I want 10. Rentals Unlimited was a dead end. The only landscape supply I've checked so far carries none at all

all the steel ones i find are 6-8 cu ft, but i have a 10 poly, i took it off the frame and put a piece of 1/4" plywood underneath it and it holds up just fine to the rocks, wood, whatever

Hi everyone! I'm finally around after the holidays and insanity. Sold out of my whole soap stock and I've closed the store for restocking. Girls are doing great, they're getting lots of greens because my in-laws don't go through all the spinach and lettuce they buy. Just got back from the US yesterday and I have class today, fingers crossed that I don't go crazy.

HI!!! I was just thinking about you, lol, my mom has gone on a crazy soap making binge!!

Good Morning all.

First day this week that my morning wasn't crazy hectic, thank goodness.

Went out to feed the flock this morning and my LO rooster and I startled each other. I don't think he really meant to even come near me, so I'm going to give him a free pass this time. He basically used my legs to push off and fly in the other direction. If I had been wearing long pants, it wouldn't have cut me.

@MotorcycleChick Yummy coffee!!! Thank you! And CATS! YAY!!!

All of you with chicks have given me chick fever! My daughter is loving the ayam cemani and now wants that to be our next eggs. I'm not 100% settled on what we are going to hatch next, but I really need to wait until after spring break when we hatch for the school. I don't need too many chicks, my chicken math is already a problem.

Heya Banti! Hi @DwayneNLiz !

how is life treating you?

my husband put it inside at first, but it collected stuff

like poop, gross, so i made him take the tub off and put it underneath, works like a charm
