I would brace it and tape it and let it go for a week, you see what you have, go with your gutt and DO IT NOW, and do it so it LASTS, take your time do it right the first time, it has to last, try a wooden skewer to keep it there after you have it

I done it LOL! It's taped in an 8 and then taped around the body and under the other wing loosely

Not raccoons but hawks, rats, weasels, and the odd hedgehog.

Will hedgehogs bother chickens?

No idea. The last hedgehog we found was actually in the yard where the dogs are allowed to run. I do wonder if they'll eat the eggs though (they eat dog food so they must not be too squeamish about meat), so I don't take chances and I look for raised coops.

Mint, bay leaves, chamomile, rose petals, a touch of cinnamon, orange peel, thyme, rosemary, and some other things. I forgot what all is in it. I plan on making a new mix until I see what works.

Oh smart! Are these fresh or dried herbs?

I ended October with a 0 of 12 hatch on a $200 dozen Black Copper Marans eggs. I have 30 BCM eggs in the mail and a replacement dozen coming to make up for the 0 of 12. I also have 9 BCM going into lockdown on the 12th of this month so I have an OBVIOUS ADDICTION and plenty to learn. So glad to join in!!! Thanks!

 

[venymae]

take the eggs out if they are in cartons and get that water out, are you running at the temps I said in our message?????

Ok! Yes I set the temps to what you said: )

Hi there and welcome over the thread @Brat Flock
yikes!!!!! that hurt!!! $200 bucks!!!!
how far are they coming from?
was that your first hatch?
BCM are hard to loose weight and you need to keep humidity low and I run higher heat on them as well....
do you calibrate thermo/hygros? and you have several?
what can you tell us about how you run?

Ok! Yes I set the temps to what you said: )
