Excellent list! Of course I would add tube feeding supplies.

Where do you buy your tube feeding supplies

There's no telling how many chickens the wonderful lady has saved. Kathy is one of the best period.

X2. She saved my hen, Muffin, and she is still alive and well!

I would take it down to 20- 25 and recandle in two days   you only have four days to get them smaller and its better to do it now than when lockdown is

Ok. Syringe is 1/2 oz, that takes it up about 20%. (From 25% to 45%)

By the time you read all that, you will be an expert on everything from getting a truck out of the mud, to microwave brownies and sticky chick!

Thank you both. Yea bubbles I figured it'd take a couple years of reading this thread to finally set some eggs lol.

@Sally Sunshine
I'm trying out something called "One-Step Calibration" Hygrometer Calibration Kit.
I took a pic, but after half a dozen attempts can't get it to upload.
According to the instructions, all you have to do is put the hygro in the bag, zip it closed, and wait 36 hours.
Can't get much simpler than that, 'specially for us 'technically challenged' folks

It's made by BOVEDA. Maybe you can get a pic to upload off their site.

I know, but I have to add about a teaspoon at a time to keep it from spiking!

Maybe I should try adding it to only the smallest well?

Yea. Think imma just search this thread on how to get started. Anyone have a good starting link?

I'm thinking I saw a list in the notes at the beginning that listed a bunch of different incubators. You might wanna start there.

She's saved one of my hens after it was ripped up by a dog. Thank God for her knowledge on this site. And a lot of others as well. Two crows, Sally, and all of you and granny thread have been very helpful to me. Now white, urrrr and chaos are here for great entertainment lol.
