Thank you for such a great comparison.  I will check out the R-com!

Thanks!

Thanks!!


Thank you all for the input!  




Good morning all!  It's looking to be a beautiful day outside.  I hope the snow, sleet and rain clears up soon for everyone experiencing it.

I know a quote dropped, there was someone that mentioned the incuview - That is what I am currently using, but I call it my Death bator.  I'm not sure if it's JUST my Incuview that is an issue, but I have had the WORST hatch rates since I started using it.  \

Who was it that lost 41 of their babies?  I'm so sorry that happened.  I can't even begin to imagine how horrible that must have been!!

I am starting day 18 on my next batch of eggs.  I candled them and some have draw downs - but others haven't started.  Should I move them over to the lock down bator?  Or should I wait until day 19, like I usually do?

Thanks!!

@Sahwithchicks, I belive.

You're still heeere!

No I wasn't!

I'm seeing 0/6 of the babies and 17/19 of the older chickens. I know each one separately but they keep moving around too much for me to figure out who's missing... Out of the babies I had my first two leghorns from my hatch.

Oh noo!!!!! I hope they turn up...

yes, I have a horrid sore throat but probably before the night is over ...

I do hope you don't get real sick. I've been dealing with the crud for 2 weeks now. Take care of yourself... lots of rest, vitamin C, and any other stuff you usually take to deal with respiratory ills.

I dealt with wolves at my last home. Only thing I am suspicious of is that I lost a bunch of adult birds in one night. Many were roosters as they roosted closest to the door. I fell asleep and didn't lock the door. The next day the birds were gone with no evidence of foul play and my birds were roosted 5 and 6 feet up. I wish I had turned on my trail cam. I figure it was either the wolves or humans. But normally the wolves didn't cause me problems and I lived back in the middle of nowhere so I don't know how anyone would know to go back there to steal my birds. I guess it will always be a mystery. When skunks, coyotes or owls have a go at one of my birds, they leave a mess.

And it amazes me how many times you can shoot warning shots at dogs and scream at them and they still insist on coming back.

I would really prefer not to have to kill somebody's pet but some people just don't learn. So far I haven't had to kill any dogs but I sure have gotten frustrated.

I hope you don't lose any more ducks.

I agree on the dog issue. Last time I had dogs threaten hubby and myself, and my flock, I called animal control. A couple weeks later, those same 2 dogs came wandering up the stairs from my raised ranch garage on a rainy day. I calmly went and closed the door, effectively trapping them in my house until ACO came and picked them up. Nothing like having a couple of big wet stinky dogs visiting on a Sunday afternoon, and tracking mud through your house. I say I would not hesitate to shoot a predator dog, but it would rip me up to do so.

finally not a great thing to do....but neither is picking up dead ducks you raised from lings.....it didn't even try and eat then just killed for sport
