Anybody got remedies for sunburn besides aloe??

Is it not working?

It is but the aloe we have I can only use 3-4 times daily and I need more than that.

MAY I PHONE A FRIEND PLEASE?



@LittleLakePhil #1800CALLPHIL

I got answers but thank you

LOL, will the fish eat big frogs, or just babies? Do Pelicans and other birds eat the frogs as well?

yes they have many foes
snakes, lizards, birds, shrews, raccoons, foxes, otters and weasels

Quote: While walking along the pond bank one day, I spooked a large bullfrog, which tried to jump into the water. He'd have made it, too, if that large bass hadn't seen him & been waiting, mouth wide open! So, yeah, fish will eat big frogs, in a heartbeat. I've never seen a pelican in the wild, but Herons & other wading birds will take a frog, given the chance.

Frog imitations are a staple in a serious bass angler's tackle bag; I have several

PO PO TA TOES

grated and then blend to death in a blender, COLD potatoes feel awesome! Not sure what vitamins are in them or if its starches or combo that helps but it works, and I know, as I have been desperate a few times in life

who me?

So I have my bator and put in 3 farm eggs from my father in law's chickens that he brings over just to make sure that I can keep the temp and humidity right. I have 3 thermometers, lol! It took a bit of adjusting but I have the temp
Right, the humidity is a little high, hovering around 50-55, is that okay! My eggs will be here tomorrow!

WAs wondering how I get a sponge in my incubator with my egg Turner in there.
This is my first time hatching eggs.

See above tips and tricks!! @mandk14 WELCOME TO THE THREAD AND BYC!! you have more questions just pop on and ask anytime!

Hi everyone!
I am new to this thread. I will be getting approximately 24 LF Brahma eggs through the mail in the next day or 2. I have read Sally Sunshine's info on incubating eggs and shipped eggs, but I gotta tell you, I am starting to Freak out a bit!
I have had my bator on for 2 days now, and calibrated it with an external digital thermometer/hygrometer. I trust this digital hygrometer/thermometer, because I have had a high hatch rate with chicks and ducks in the past using this.
I plan to let the eggs sit a day and then put in bator and not start turner for 3 days. It is a new KingsUro Max 20 with a very slow, steady tilt.
My biggest concern is that our house humidity is 54%, hence so is the incubator. Based on everything I have read, it should be closer to 40% the first 18 days.
Any suggestions, thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

see above
about house humidity, is it always high like that, and you said you are reading calibrated hygro?
We have a dehumidifier, you should be ok I am really wondering what @ozexpat does about humidity at this point in his hatching, he has a farm in the Phils and its very humid. Perhaps he can led a hand because we seem to get this question more and more.

Is my first time hatching eggs and I've read that you have to have a sponge in the last 3 days of incubation and therefore moisture how do I get my sponge in the bottom on my incubator being as I already have the egg turner in there full of eggs

see above!

SH.... I COULD INCORPORATE THE DOG AND THE RABBIT TOO!!
