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

non digital thermometers vs digital thermometer?

digital, definitely.
closer, finer calibration. mine read in .1 degree increments and can be purchased at pet shops where they sell reptile supplies. I have seen similar ones at Lowes and Wally world.
Non digital I use for back up and in the brooder, a little more room for error in the brooder.

Yes, the numbers are brutal.
I am wondering about the cold, but this is not the first rodeo that my Roo has let me down on.
We did have temps in the -5 f range overnight when I was collecting these, and single digit highs, but my silkies are pretty good about sitting tight on the nest until I collect their eggs. They are usually quite warm when I get to them.

this I understand and it s not that part that concerns me its how does the cold affect the rooster as to sperm count ?

Better luck next time.

Hugs???????
I was honestly expecting a smack!
I guess I don't tease you quite as much as Whites and Ur Do though!

And a banana split is even MORE important......I missed out again today!!!

WAIT whut did I miss here? now I want icecream

Bubbles, Sally, and Yokel, you are right.
Here's the DIS photo.
Boy, gotta admit, it felt strange saying Bubbles was right!

did you check positions in them, I cant tell...
and

I gave you a picture oh yeah like two AM yesterday . thought I did that wasn't sure . known one of two things need not to happen either I don't set for new years or I don't drink . hard choice . chicks or drink drink or chicks . I decide next year

I agree set a day late K!

Sally,
I do feed scratch on the ground as a treat, probably once or twice a week.
I don't seem to be having the same fertility issues with my EE's, OE's and Basque.
They get the same feed, and the same treats.

you do realize some boys just need a bit of food on the ground to perk up their ego a bit? It makes them chat and call the hens and be hot stuffs picking up that food and dropping it for them, its actually called "tid-bitting". and makes that sexy wing feather come down real fast and that circle dance just starts agoin on

 

[LocalYokel]

Hey, y'all
CH needs some input on the LG 9300

I can't help him...anyone else?

I looked at the 9300 when I was shopping for an incubator... and very quickly looked the other way. Even with the fan, it wasn't getting very good reviews. I'd buy a HovaBator, or even an FI, any day before I'd spend money on this LG.

CH needs to save up his money and buy a good incubator that'll help eliminate a lot of the headaches he's experienced...

We went to Trader Joes today. First time I'd ever been in one. Neat store, but no fertile eggs! However, there are 1 or 2 local stores that sell fertile eggs, including duck eggs. I'm itching to try a bit of a challenge, so may pick some of those up to hatch in March, along with some shipped eggs from a BYC reader. It will be interesting to see what I get from my own flock this spring.

you speak chicken . does it work with girls too. so if I throw cheeseburgers on the ground does it improve my chances with women?

You and me are going to FL to meet Yokel for ice cream! He knows this great ice cream place with real ice cream! The other day he had a banana split. It's all I think about now!!!
