Quote: you are fine CH, if you wish switch them and see what they read after several hours and report back.. You have had such a hard time calibrating we need to work with them, they are not THAT far off for you. so switch them and report back... dont move those eggs though

Quote: This is not a bit more than you can chew, you have accomplished much so this is a drop in the bucket. I hope it goes well for you so you and keep warm, I bet you sleep good at night after being out so long in the cold! Electrical will be much easier than your lines for certain, unless they are up above 15' then I pray you get some help, which in thinking of that, do you have anyone givin you a hand on this project? I would think someone would have interest in learning from all that, I would have enjoyed taking that on with you gaining the skills you can share.

We just may take on this project come spring time, is there a better time of year to work with the saplings?

I've got a big wooden brooder I want to disinfect. Can I do the job with vinegar or does it have to be a bleach solution? It hadn't housed anything since August. But it's not cleaned out, either.

Looks like the power went out while I was out on a long run... its back and running and the incubator was back on - most it could have been off was a couple hours before the 24 hr mark - so I think they'll be okay... Weather is getting much nicer so I was surprised the power went out today!

The bleach is much more efficient.

Sally what is going on with the project chicks? They are doing good?

Yes and the male is getting a bigger comb already! I took his picture today I must upload them.

Very high egg production right now without supplemental lighting, and in these extreme temp changes we have been having.


will upload pics in a few

At a 1/10 solution? Do I need to rinse it off? I'm getting chicks tomorrow and I'm worried about the smell of the bleach bothering them. It's been such a long time since I used any I can't remember.

Mine is almost on the zero mark!

bleach or ammonia they say ammonia kills cocci better than bleach. And of course a long dose of HOT SUN RAYS are always best!

you know I am not a measurer unless its for an egg dip. I would go just a tad stronger for a brooder, let it sit at least a minute before wiping, let it dry out good. is it wood? wear gloves unless you want rough hands like mine.

Mine is almost on the zero mark!

oh no!!!
