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

[daxigait]

I'm with Ken on not being that nice. I would hate to shoot a dog, but a dog that travels in packs like that and has no respect for people is scary, and you have young children not to mention your other animals.
I wonder if you could get the traps though I know our local area County Extension will loan out traps for skunks

Does anyone use peroxide for sterilizing hatching eggs? I've been hearing about this.

I almost always leave the natural bloom on the shells. If there is a rare exception, which is not very often, if a tad bit of poo is on an "Important Breed" egg, I mix a solution of Listerine original formula with H2O (50/50) and clean said Important egg.
I am a fanatic on clean nesting boxes in my breeder houses. Clean eggs = higher hatch rates. Higher hatch rates pays my bills. So clean out every box at the crack of dawn.
I have never heard of using peroxide, nor will you ever here me saying I tried.

Also does anyone use the rcom eco suro with the cradle ? Are the egg racks it comes with okay to use ?

Sorry but I am way out in left field on this on.
As well as being a stickler on hand turning and rearranging the orientation positions. I have turners, boxed up in my closet. Waiting for the day I'm going out of town for a while or so.
I hope somebody can answer your questions more efficiently..

4 lemon trees took a dump on me. We were in the low twenties for a week straight. We need to remove them. They are an eye sore now.
2 semi young Orange trees kinda survived. Depends on your definition of survived.
All 6 Lime trees made it!We cook a lot of fish and prefer lime juice on those flippers over lemon anyway.
The Lemon trees really never bounced back from the prior Winter anyway. This past Winter just finished the job.
Glad to see you posting again dax!
Welcome back to the Zoo! Goob goob ca-chooo!

Sorry you lost your trees.

Around here I always have to hope I get some of my fruit cuz I always tend to lose either the apples or the pears cuz about the time they blossom out we get another one of our freezing temperature times or we get 6 inches of rain and washes all the blossoms off. I have yet to have a year where I have a crop of both.
