I was googling it and seeing $45-$60-$90 results come back! I was think no way can I afford that!

Yeah if you ever need a small amount of anything feel free to ask if we have it. I tend to keep a pretty well stock med supply.

Anyone know a cheap place to get Ivermectin or something like it? Or would anyone like to sell my 10-15 dollars worth?

I had not been able to find a SMALL bottle of the pour on either. Co-op and TSC around here don't carry the small bottles. I get my feed now at a small feed shop and she had some for $15 or less. She has had several things I would have had to order.

Ask at TSC if they can order you a small bottle. Clearly they have access to a small bottle they just don't carry it at yours or my store.

Donna-
I went to check in my broody hen and she has three fluffy copper Marans under her. Two are BCM and the third is a blue I believe. I assume the splash copper have more yellow fluff on them? I am so impressed with momma, I was worried and she is not the sweetest or nicest hen I have.
Here's the blue

And with momma

Sahwithchicks--Adorable pics!

Here I am at Day 21. I kept the temps up fairly well in the incubator last night. Then I really crashed somewhere around 5 this morning and they dropped to 96.9! Oh no...but sometime during that drop I had 3 begin to pip!

Only one is a total hole. The other two just barely cracked the shell a little. All is quiet and no movement. At least someone in there is trying!

Come on little babies!

just give em time, low temps can cause them to run 2 or 3 days late. They will come out and play when they get ready.

I do believe I can foresee another incubator in my future. Surely DH will understand the need to have one for incubating and one for hatching, right? Hmmmm...what excuses can I dish out today...? I'm thinking of, "But lovey, we won't be keeping all of the chicks we hatch. If you hatch and sell enough of them you can buy that new scope for your crossbow. "
