INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Chicken Egg 17]

did you get my post ??

LED bulbs WONT work
You need INCANDESCENT bulbs - they are the ones that create the heat 

Ya that's why I said I need a 40 watt those are 40 but they don't give off heat but my mom wasn't sure if they would or not and I got them they were only 74 cents each so no big deal. And the 30 watt on the left it's an indoor flood light that one brought it up to temp but it a 40 watt would work better. And the 60 watt it got the temp in the box up to 110 degrees.

Why? For bringing him into nature's beauty for a while? I should be as fortunate! If he were able, he'd probably thank her.

Good point.
Some people die at work. That would be horrible.

Love your animals and call an animal rescue group that would be better capable of catching and caring for the bird than you are.

He's right.
Sorry you find it gibberish.
Voltage is the amount of energy.
Wattage/amperage is the amount of power.
You first have to match voltages, then add up the power needed and provide at least that with the output of the adaptor/power supply.

So the top one will run 2 fans when set to 12 volts.


Treat for what?
What does she have?
Has she been diagnosed?
If it is the things, Kathy mentioned, there is no cure.

She does, it's the dump.
If you want to care for her, put out water for her.

But your lamps aren't 40 watts. Read the small print. They are only 5 watt. The package likely says something like 40W replacement using only 5W. That means it will only generate heat roughly equivalent to 5 watts.

Here's a better option.

That's the only thing I don't like about those they don't give off light so you have to make sure they don't burn out I would like them for in a coop but not for the incubator.

I know they are mixed breed but I just can't wait to see what color the eggs turn to be being mixed with my EE.

Love the color on the dark one; that's what I'm after. What's it out of?

Penedesenca eggs.

lol, i just need to splice them in, but thanks

So where is it you live (lol)

Dryer sheets keep mice (mostly) away and smell much better than moth balls

Thanks for the tip on the dryer sheets. I'll try it. I hate pulling mouse nests and feathers out of engine compartments and carburetors.



A busy suburb of St. Louis. Other side of the road is mostly subdivisions. My side is properties with a minimum of 1 acre. Some are up to 40 acres or more and most are older homes. Our last house just up the road was a log cabin built in the 1840s. This is still one of the oldest houses in North County. Built in 1903 it is more like a city row house. Add to that all the big trees and shrubbery, I think a lot of crooks would avoid it.





During a dog attack, a hawk picked up one of my chickens and dropped it off in the atrium of a retirement home.
The owner came to my door and asked if I was missing a chicken.
He took me to the home and I caught it. On the way back I asked him how he knew I had chickens. He said, "I didn't but I knew you had a lot of weird stuff up here so I figured you must have chickens too."

either a RIR or BR, dad is an RIR, if I'm right I think it may be an RIR

That's a dark egg for either but likely a RIR because rocks eggs are pretty light.

Not bold at all if you know the owners are gone working all day, the dog inside won't bother you, there's dry wood inside, in addition to the pile out back, where missing wood would stand less chance of being noticed, and you cant be seen from the road 600+ feet away & hidden by trees.

That all adds up to a local.

Likely.

trying to catch a chicken at the dump

A feral chicken?
Somebody dumped it there?

You need a big net, leg hook or net gun and several people. Don't chase it. You'll just train it to avoid you.

Its not that i find it gibberish but it's not something that i understand, I would need to teach myself more about electrical than i really have a need of, that is why i rely on my BYC friends to help me

Thanks!

What about this?

LOL!!
