Thankfully never been chased by a bear or deer.....although I have been chased up a tree by a wild pig before and that was scary enough as they can really mess you up if they get a hold of you.

Heh, I have been chased by a deer, and as much as I am ashamed to admit, I have had a tarantula chase me up a tree. Granted I was ALOT younger when he did it.

I will put a feather duster in there with him. My girls haven't gotten broody yet. Will he eventually fluff up on his own in the brooder? He looks so pathetic right now not being fluffy.

oh you can fluff him up with a soft cloth! if he needs washed cause he was goopy, use warm water and soap to wash him off and dry him well with a cloth and then put some iodine on that umbilical to dry it out, just like a babies

Okay, thank you. I'm going to get away from the comp a bit and see if I can get him situated. I still need to find my little watering can for him. I dont think a 2 gallon waterer is needed for this one little guy.

I raised and lowered based on air cell size at time of candling. Mark your air cells and we can help!!!

With mentioning humidity, does it matter as much if I am currently allowing my hen to set her eggs?

At what time should I consider moving her and her eggs away from my flock? Day 20 when eggs are almost ready to hatch?

what is your room humidity CL?  

you dont want high humidity in the bator, but you will need to know how to increase it for lockdown.

these are standard size eggs? 


what are you running temps at? sill air or fan

Room is at 35% i think the bator is staying between 50 and 55% since i put a sponge in
Standard size eggs
Temp is holding at 100.5
With fan

Buddy of mine had a buck sneak up behind him & roll him down the hill into a briar patch...said he came out looking like he'd been in a sack of wildcats.

Thinking back now, I dont think it was as big as I thought it was, but I guess that is what I get for shooting it with a water gun....

dang!!! no way!!

Yea, it was pretty crazy. The girl driving was shook up but everyone was fine (not sure about the bear though, it didn't stick around to get medical attention). They are actually a big problem on Tyndall AFB in base housing. Constantly tearing up peoples trash and nothing scares them so if they are at the trashcans, you just have to wait for them to finish eating before you can leave your house...Last year they were knocking over our beehives. Fixed that with an electric fence that would take down a bull

I had a doe wake me up from a nap one time.......I shot her and she tasted yummy.
