*facepalm*

I'll muddle through meself, thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Yep... Wouldn't even THINK of shipped eggs in a LG that I had never hatched in before!

Evidently they're notorious for hot & cold spots (which shouldn't be a surprise in a rectangular area), so make sure you have multiple thermometers...as in more than two

For those of us discussing feed yesterday, here is the cost of my ration. It comes out to roughly 18.1% protein. I do have to supplement calcium to the layers.

On yesterday's market and truck charge divided in, $284.94 a ton.

Wow very nice. At least for here. Alfalfa bales going for $18 and straw hay is down to $9. 16% pellets.30cents per pound

That's why you let them sit for the day, hopefully the aircells reattach, or you have to take extra care when attempting to turn them.

Did you let them rest for 24 hrs to see if any of the air cells would reattach?
