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

[kwhites634]

In college I drove a '77 firebird for a while. My '88 Taurus had crapped out and the firebird fell in my lap for free. It was orange.

And had a cb and a big speaker mounted behind the grill. I didn't have the antennae for the cb, but I liked to scold pedestrians who thought they had the right of way when they didn't. One time I pulled up at a friends house and shouted "this is the police!" They assumed their rowdy neighbors were finally bring arrested.

I couldn't afford the gas so I got as escort. It was a fun car, though.

Buddy of mine drove a bright red Plymouth Satellite, with an external speaker behind the grill. We were heading up the mountain near Camp David one time ( yeah, that Camp David), when we rolled up behind a car making about 2 miles/week. My buddy got tired of it & keyed the mic..."Hey, buddy, drive it or get it off the road"! Turns out the driver was a little old blue haired lady. She whipped off the road and started looking around for the source of the voice. Probably thought God had finally come to carry her home

Lol nice
In highschool I had an 84 Ranger 7 inch lift with 33's
8 foot whip and a basic cobra
Had the external speaker but nothing fancy
That was fun lol
The police thing was overused but it didn't fool no one being in that truck

does anyone have any good ideas for a brooder for ducklings?  I have been cleaning it out 5-6 times a day and they keep getting water everywhere and then laying in it instead of the dry side.

Put their food and especially water in a dish pan with a low cut side for them to gain entrance. Or, put it in a broiler pan.

Go fishing
Go pick flowers
Go find some free pallets for a new coop
Go take a long walk


Go anywhere; just get away from that bator!

Excellent advice.
One needs multiple hobbies.

Just make the entire room Bator temp

If heating with gas, that's cheaper than running incubators on electric in a cold room (like I do

)
I really have to figure out a way to heat a room in the cellar with gas. I do have a small room down there that used to be my office. I may have to run duct work to it. The rest of the cellar stays in the 50 (winter) and high 60s in summer. That's too cold for efficient incubation. It does prevent me from stressing and ogling the incubators though.

So I've started my two Ameraucanas on Denagard. 15ml per gallon, even if they don't drink the whole gallon (which they won't) I still change it everyday right? Then they stay on it for 5 days or a week, and I should see improvement in one or two days right?

@casportpony

What is the Denegard for?

How many days do you all wait between hatches? If this one is done by Monday, when would you set again? I don't want to hold myself up for the Easter HAL!

@Sally Sunshine - is the 911 section on the first page? I'm looking now- just squeezing checking in between chores and running kids around!

With separate incubator/hatcher, I sometimes set every 4 or 5 days. That also keeps the incubator clean so it doesn't nee much cleaning.
All you need is enough time to thoroughly clean the incubator.

I think I am dumb.... is that turner motor a regular motor from a single turner???



http://greenmachinefarm.com/diy-incubator-take-2/

I would like to know that too. I was wondering what kind of load a turner motor can handle.

...is just a simple schematic, I could just do it in paint but I figured someone could do it in 5 minutes or less... with autocad I dont have anything here at home since I quit

...

would this be a wellsummer or a marans egg?????

You could put one together using the cell structure in Excel.

It could be either. It isn't as dark as Welsummer or Marans SHOULD be.
If one isn't careful about selecting for egg color, the dark egg can be lost in a couple generations.

I guess you're not very good at reading advice but here's some more.
Advice Do not candle between 11 and 14 days of incubation, as it interrupts the movement of the embryo to the length axis of the egg.

...

Good post.
Too much attention to the eggs and incubator isn't good.

Or a Microwave Turner Motor

Or a rotisserie motor.

Or a Range Self Clean Lock Motor

I don't know what that is. Will it work?

Let's see if this works... I HAVE A PIP...and am totally unprepared! It's a Bielefelder I have upright due to a detached AC... With the sick 4 year old, I never made it out for iodine and have to go into work for a few hours! Talk me down, people...talk me down...

What's the iodine for? Don't worry about the pip. That's what they're supposed to do. They do everything themselves.

Iodine for the unborn chicks or the little one?
