Enya's still acting a bit funny today.
I've checked her over and was only able to find one small abrasion on her back, but something's still not right.
Maple's left foot is now bearing weight and does not seem to be infected or dying. I have noticed she seems to be getting a rather heavy case of lice coz she can't dustbathe, so I've gotta treat that too....
Chrissy's foot is still not infected.. Hoping it stays that way
This is my daughter's old toy chest that wasn't being used for anything other than some Legos, so I commandeered it. It keeps the inner workings safe from errant cats, dog, and crash-prone thunder-brawling offspring. I keep a wool blanket over top of the actual inner top of the bator to keep heat from escaping from the viewing windows.
Like I mentioned, she ain't pretty but she works! I salvaged a bunch of high grade foam from work (it's used to ship uber expensive refrigerated meds so I figured it'd hold heat in well, and it was totally free since they were going to throw it out) and used the plexiglass windows from my two old LG bators. The whole "lid" rests on top of a window screen to support it.
I lined the walls with more foam and caulked it in place. I used the egg turner from my old LG and used mason jars for heat sinks. I took an old lamp fixture and am using two 40watt bulbs with the fan taken from the old incubator and spliced everything to an extension cord. They are fed through a large hole that also is used for ventilation. I bought the thermostat from Home Depot because I was in a crunch for time (thanks to my darn chicken egg buying impulses..). It needed tweaking but is averaging 99f. And the pan of water that looks all funky is just sterile water with apparently funky pennies. I have a tube that feeds through the hole that I can add water to as needed.
It's a 97 GMC half ton.... It's an old badge if a trick but mechanically sound. Being I was a mechanic for 30 years I drive my vehicles until they have nothing left to give. Then I park them out back in the woods until they run out of spare parts...
All 6 are doing well. They like to chew on my fingers
