EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Pensmaster]

The article is not where I thought. I will try to remember to look for it, but basically, you build a raised bed, line it with pond liner put a couple of PVC tubes with holes in the bottom connecting to a 'up spout' hat sticks up several inches above the dirt that you fit a cap on. You just uncap it and fill the PVC piping once a week or so, and it saves water. It also is freeing if you need to be gone a few days.
Good night guys.

Dax the rope light does have a smell to it at first. Plug it in earlier than needed and it seems to go away.

I think my poor turkey would be quite the handsome gentleman, had he not lost some feathers........ wonder what he did with them.

I always hear marbles in the water. Anyone else just use the regular waterers that have a qt jug on them? (I just buy the bottom and add mason jar, the chicks when they get a little bigger like to get on top of them, if the water is low the plastic one's knock over and make a mess, the mason jars stay upright) How can a a chick drown in them?


And please don't HOLLER at me for the newspaper...I don't recommend it but has always been just fine for me, have had no injuries ever, doesn't take long before the poops and feed get strung all over for grip, and I do throw some feed around myself after taking a layer off, instant clean. I do sometimes top it with sand or dry tree leaves when available.

What I've used to feed 100s of chicks for a couple decades now, don't know what it is or where I got it from, kinda like a old mini sauerkraut crock, just always been my chick feeder and will not tip over : )

No marbles...

They were there as soon as I stopped doing chores and looked at the picture to count chicks.

I just looked back at your pic, same as mine I think just different color I think? Maybe a bigger area available on yours? I can't imagine them drowning in something they can't fit in? IDK? never seen it happen before

always pictured the marble thing with open water dishes.

Looks like a very political site, IMHO, they have a narrative they are following. Most of them do. All the other one's reporting on the incident do.
What have 'they' done to the residents? Of course nothing. Sick and sad.
The politics here have been getting a little out of control. Can't even turn the news on without 24/7 bash parade. Someone farts sideways and it's a certain someones fault....
Hope they find who did it.

I have never ever used marbles except for the ducks I just hatched because one was just so tiny and he still drowned but that's the first time I've ever had a chick or duckling drown.
