I'm not clear on the plastic strawberry container/ hatcher. Is the container inside the incubator?

I've sprouted seeds on the incubator too, but never made yogurt

Picture one of those large containers that are of clear plastic. Then put a cloth in the bottom. Then put chicks in, click the corners shut and put it in the incubator. Yup. Its drier in my incubator than the hatcher. I was having issues with the bator being too wet so the chicks were not drying off. My answer to that was just moving them back over to the bator in the strawberry container. It worked fine.

I have two project Marans that have successfully hatched out the way I had hoped and now I have to grow them out to see if they will look and produce as I had hoped as well.

We now have just over 3.5 cups of maple syrup. There wasn't much produced today but we might get another cup out of this week if we are lucky. I set some more eggs. A lot actually. Anyone else interested in starting into Orloffs? Come on... you know you want to

Thanks to Mother Nature it has been a bad year for maple syrup.

Love it too. And I am running low but I will survive.

Would love to get into Orloffs. But for now I will stick with my mutts. I did well last year but it seems every time I try to get ambitious with a specific breed something happens.

They are already hatched out and here so if you change your mind you know to find me

I have news.
OUR FIRST GOOSE EGG WAS FOUND TODAY

Wow, that's awesome! Congrats!

Are goose eggs good for eating? I've only ever had chicken eggs.

Sorry about your broody quitting, quailtrail.

And congrats on the goose egg, ashandvine!

No sap flowing here. It hasn't been warm enough. I kind of wonder how Maine maple Sunday worked out today. We had planned to make more syrup this year, but we'll have to wait and see if the weather cooperates. We do have a bunch from last year.

So today, my hens laid a ..........potato! Our hoop coop is on the garden for the winter. The hens have leaves to scratch around in, but much of the winter the ground is frozen. Apparently, it is thawing, because today I went out there and discovered someone had dug a big crater. In the bottom of the crater was a large potato. They had carefully cleared around it and left it in the bottom of the crater.
