I always run my bators on the dry side -- I keep the bator in my utility room when incubating - it tends to have more stable temps than other parts of the house. I keep my humidity levels around the mid-30s - I've had better hatches like that. Add only a very little bit of water at a time & wait about 10-15 minutes before adding more to let things stabilize in there. I think the eggs will be all right; for sure I wouldn't pitch any of them unless I smelled one going bad. I also have hatched porous eggs. When I only had the old styrofoam incubator, it was so bad for spiking temps & humidity that I bored a hole in the top & ran a piece of aquarium hose down into it & used a syringe to add water when needed--I opened it as little as possible. I don't know if this helps you or not but hope so - just remember, eggs can take a lot & still hatch!

Feed and water in a bucket is all you need. The ACV is a jump start for the ferment and not required in this heat we have BUT can't hurt either. I use it!
I also stir it once a day when I feed and only add in dry food twice a week or so (i make large amounts) I add dry enough to keep the ferment fed and happily bubbling :) Always save the "juice" in the bottom! That's great Scooby that can be used to make other batches. (i have a friend that always forgets to add dry feed and she comes by and gets a few cups of the "juice" and LOVES using that instead of waiting.
I'll never go back to dry feed lol saved Soooooo much money on meaties because of less waste.

I have pics and stuff too if needed lol my WiFi is weird at the moment and typing one handed (brawled with a rabbit being surrendered and lost :lau one armed bandit today!)

I'm thinking about doing FF for my birds...I seem to be going thru a lot of feed. Ive read the thread for it but just want to make sure i have this right.. this is what I'm planning to do.. tell me if it is right, please.

Plan on using a 5 gallon bucket, putting enough feed in for about 2 days, covering with water, adding a few "glugs" of ACV and lightly covering it with an old towel. Stir, and let it "do its thing" for a couple days, then strain out enough for the feeding, and add back what I take out

I am seriously on the verge of needing a deserted island all to myself for a week! My sister is coming to visit and I have a HUGE to do list in the house, including painting. We NEED to get this chicken house finished and painted. Plus all of the outdoor chores/gardening etc. I cannot even list all the sources of stress right now. I hope I don't stroke out

Thank God hub is going to be home this weekend so we can all work on this some more. Right side has the pop out windows installed that we can lower in the winter........as well as half of my refinished old partially rusty FREE arbor I have had for a few years. It seemed like a good time to refinish it right? Because there was nothing else to do.....

No, really hubby wanted it too. We are going to build a bit of arbor on each side and then Muscadine are planted at each end and can go towards the center and over top of the arbor. I think it will be cool and will add more shade. Too bad we couldn't use those doors in the foreground. So, he had to build the white ones. But the double old doors will go on the greenhouse. We like that idea too. I can't wait to do the fenced in play yards too!

Oh, and for cooling shade.....inside, light movable panels in the rafters. Cool. And center top will pop out with a fan front and back.
