I also believe shrink wrapping is due to the fan blowing. I use a still air for hatching or put a towel over the eggs.

MIL thought it was a quake- but am not finding any for that time, one of those mysteries... growing up in San Diego, usually quakes didn't boom- hubby thought maybe something at Camp Gruber exploded... ah well, back to world of chickens!LOL!

@Kyzmette
were you the one that suggested peppermint oil to get rid of mice? used it last nite under the tub, and haven't heard them today at all...

Yeppers! I make a concoction of peppermint oil with a couple drops of eucalyptus oil, trapped the remaining ones that had no sense of smell, and have absolutely no mice.

How do you do the towel? Doesn't it sit on top of the babies when they get out of the shell?

Where is a good place to get peppermint oil?

Akins or a healthfood store, and I just put it in cheap glass votives or the tiny canning jars.1 tsp to 1TB peppermint oil, a couple drops eucalyptus, refresh as needed. During winter set it over your floorvents, if you have them, and the whole house smells like Christmas.

I'm sorry I have to ask and please don't bash me but I'm new here. I live in Ardmore and just started my chicken farmin journey. Been at it two weeks and I've fallen in love lol. Can I please get some info on POOPS? Where will it take place, what is it, what do I need to bring, am I even invited, what's the purpose, etc. please please please give me some info. Thank y'all so much I'm advance.

This is a good thread. I don't think that anyone bashes. We all listen to others opinions on things and some we agree with and some we don't. But I think we all believe that everyone is entitled to their own.

Welcome to the thread and welcome to Chickens!!!
