Marshmallows would never make it to the trap.

Quite correct.

Chicken eggs and yes I have an auto turner.

Good. Fill that puppy with eggs (fat end up) & spend the next 18 days reading the suggestions & links you'll find in the first 2 pages of this thread.

Do you have any water in the incubator resevoirs right now?

I'm not exactly sure to tell you how to bring the humidity down as I've never had to that. Someone here must know.

What's the best way to bring down humidity people on here?

All you've done is tire both you and me out. I feel like I should go to bed after all that work. You have no neighbors with a tractor and bucket...or a hay mower?

Unfortunately, I don't know of any; not any more. They all quit or died.

"Hey, y'all, hold my beer & watch this"
When did you sneak up behind me with a picture machine?

The lawn tractor is de-fenced. The biggest pen is about ready to be reinhabited. I just need to decide on a temporary run. I lost a good pair of needle nosed pliers. They fell off the mower while I was racing around the yard.

Better than losing $1,000 and a wallet out of your back pocket & mulching them both! Remember that one?

uncooked rice in the water channels

That must be enough to knock an elephant out.

Better safe than sorry?

I can't even remember what this is now.

It's just a small garage. It wouldn't take much for him to do it.

The FIL rewired the old barn about 15 years ago. There are no plug ins...so I'd like some put in there as well. There's about 2-3 days worth of things here for him to do. The machine shed still needs to be wired.

That is great!

Old wiring is a problem.

Especially since I can't see my birds!
