Did you calibrate your hydrometers and thermometers? If not for next time there are great notes on how to do it on the first page of this thread.

I do know how to do the salt water method. I need to do it but with this hatch I incubated in my Brinker Economy and wanted to hatch in my Farm Innovator forced air since I have super expensive polish eggs arriving any day. I will wait and calibrate after this hatch. Thanks for the welcome! Sorry bout the double posting or whatever I did. I had forgotten how to post correctly in this forum

That just means you've been away too long. You need to correct that ASAP

I said "Screw it"  Darned HW cloth is eating me up, I need an extra pair of hands, it's cold & wet, & I'm frustrated. Other than that, it's all good!

It is vicious stuff, but I don't have any gloves that I can handle it with and still use 3/4" poultry staples so I feel your pain.

There is no such thing as posting correctly in this forum, I mean thread.

I am off to go to dog lesson.. That means someone has to train me how to communicate with my dog. Is that an oxymoron?

Your property is fairly level because you're on the north western edge of the Ozark plateau. Head just a bit south and the bottom falls out of it.
The Ozarks are so small because they're so old. The Rockies are babies comparatively. The majestic Tetons are the youngest in North America.
The Eastern part of the Ozarks are known as the St. Francois mountains (where I grew up) are over 1.4 billion years old making them the oldest mountain range in North America and possibly on the planet. By contrast, the Appalachians are 460 million years old and the Rockies a mere 70 million.
The St. Francois are the only mountains never to have been covered by glaciers or ocean. (Ocean fossils can even be found on Everest)
They're at the collision point 300 million years ago of the North American and South American plates.
This is why all the mountains here run east and west rather than north and south. The St. Francois, Ozarks and Ouchitas. The gulf of Mexico once extended to the Ozarks.

This area is also an active seismic zone. From 1811-1812, there were over 1,000 earthquakes and aftershocks. There were no seismographs at the time but estimates are that there were 17 above magnitude 6 with three between 7.5 and 8. 800 were over M3. The largest, temporarily reversed the direction of the Mississippi. Eyewitnesses on boats said they were swept upstream a mile or more at the speed of a horse.  It formed Reelfoot lake and permanently changed the course of the river.

While there have been a couple higher magnitude quakes in Alaska and California, the area of strong shaking was 2-3 times as large as the 1964 Alaska quake and 10 times as large as the 1906 San Francisco quake.

Geologists consider another big one long overdue. FEMA recently warned that a similar quake would affect 8 states and predicted it would be the highest economic loss in US history.

My mother told me of the house opening up down the middle and slamming back during the '64 quake.
I read about the Mississippi and the Boston bells ringing.
