You ever see mark rober glitter bomb vid on YouTube?

I think I stumbled upon that one a week or 2 ago. Pretty funny......... What to do when you have too much time on your hands. (My husband & many friends are electrical engineers, so they were always pulling little gags on each other in college.)

In 6 days I'll move the quail to the old incubator & probably add some orp eggs to the turkeys.

From what I remember, quail go from pip to hatch very quickly.
Nothing..... nothing..... nothing.... Look there's 3 quail zooming around the incubator.... and another 4,,,and.... so on.

Like popcorn!

What a beautiful day! We got outside. I framed some raised garden beds, made a brief run to home depot and had to drop my tiller off at a small engine repair shop. I was shocked the shop was open when I called, but I guess they count themselves as mechanics (an essential business). BTW, that tiller is brand new and crapped out yesterday. I bought it in February and used it twice. The manufacturer decided to discontinue the product line and not honor the warranty due to the coronavirus pandemic advertising to the recording I got when I called their customer support line.

What brand is it? Doesn't sound like a brand I'd like to support.

It was Dirty Hand Tools. It looks like the brand went under though. Everything was EOL'd and they stopped honoring warranties.

At least you're not like me and slip them into my coat pocket. At least 1-2xs per year I accidentally feel a SQUISH when bumping a door or something! That's when I know my chicken coat & gloves need a wash

This just happened to me 3 days ago. Had 5 really gorgeous clean eggs in my hoodie pocket. Tripped on the steep hill on the side of my house. Crushed two and the other 3 were coated in egg. The eggs got washed and put in the frig and grandpa washed my hoodie for me.

Best video I've seen all month!!!

Sweet justice for those who did wrong and wonderful rewards who did right.

I looked on their website, and here is my view.
They make only the items, of working parts, and purchase their motors from other manufacturers like Kohler. or Briggs and Stratton, or Tecumseh Most yard equipment use someone else's motors, and make the rest of machine on their premises,
If your motor petered out, it is not a result of DIRTY HAND TOOLS doing a bad job. Things happen,
Because they went out of business, does not necessarily mean they made bad machines.
Can you describe the problem that occurred with your motor.?

Spoiler: Don't do this to DIRTY HAND TOOLS

It was running fine and then there was a loud snap line a piece of plastic broke and the motor immediately died out. It wouldn't restart. I removed the spark plug, cleaned it for good measure and made sure it had spark. In removed the carburetor and made sure it wasn't clogged. I cleared the cylinder too. After all that, it still wouldn't start. I tried a bit of starter fluid in the air intake. That didn't work either. Sends like its not getting compression.

I do agree with the motor being another brand. It is a Kohler actually. However, they should have honored the warranty. That's what irritated me most.

I am excited to say I can see veins in several of my eggs. I set them in the evening on march 31 so we are just now at day 4.

Does this air cell look too small for 14 days? I feel it is.
Humidity in the big one has said 44-48% even with no water. I dont know how accurate it is as my hydrometer is in my little one. The little one is a yo-yo. I put a small bit of water and it jumps to 60% only to be at 12% by evening.
Out of 24 eggs all started development and I just found 1 quitter. Going to eggtospy it now.
