Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[wolftracks]

Mahonri I don't know if you read where I was badly burned when I was little, but doctors for years were either surprised or said the reason for my scare to not be as bad as it is, because my ggrandmother doused me in ACV. Just thought I'd mention it. I always use ACV for burns and have all my life, so I know it works.

You know, I wondered who that MN that called Mahonri at all hours of the night. And I did read the thread, I must have missed it. BUT- I was able to figure it out.

MN= Mother Nature

Most Ingenious Chicken Design Contest entry for me is our brooder Deb rescued this from a local auction house it WAS an outdoor barbecue pit....crazy huh? used to cook em ....now is home for them... it looked nothing like this when we bought it for 20 bucks...it had a bottom brace ,which Deb made the bottom or floor of the brooder ....We decided on a baby nursery theme...and my son picked out the colors, deb designed,modified and closed it in and I decorated and painted it. So here it is our nearly seven foot long baby brooder in some of the pics you can see the GREEN house brooder where they go when they first hatch then at about a week or so they go into the big kid brooder....easy to clean you just scoop out shavings with a dust pan.The light can be lowered or raised for less or more heat and we even change out lights to lower wattage on bulbs for older babies...the little shelves make storing things easy and convenient

"All Things Grow with faith and love" little chicks parade up and doen the ledges...and all over the words...they are hot glued on

Very colorful brooder, good job.

Kwote:
I have a brother and a few nephews that still live in Genola. I own 8 acres there but I doubt I'll ever retire there like I had originally planned. It's just TOO COLD in Utah! As a kid our dentist was in Spanish Fork so I went there frequently. We took out cattle to the auction there for years. Our bank was the Zions
Bank there in SF. My SIL grew up in SF.

Ok, so I think I figured out my temp issues. So with my turner in an lg, depending on where the turner is at in it's cycle can make a 3 degree difference. If it is flat it is 99.9 or 100 depending on spot ( middle of egg ). To the full right or left, middle of egg is 97.4. Top of egg is 102 when flat, 99.2 when sideways. Thoughts?
