? does it matter which end of egg is up or down in auto turner. the wife got bator and all gave to her but no instruction Manuel's.

You want the pointy end down. At lockdown either you just turn the turner off OR take the eggs out of the turner and lay them on their side.

I got soaked to the bone, but got a lot more done then I thought I was going to get based on last nights weather forecast. I even got 4 volunteer sapling trees transplanted to a better (at least for me) location.

We just got some too! So glad to not have to water the garden today, Im in a lazy mood.

I just PMd Robin. I will not pick up the birds today due to the bad weather. It's raining buckets here, and even though I brought a tarp, I still think it's best to wait for a drier day. I don't want anyone getting chilled.

Sounds like good decision.

Where are you at, are you willing to travel for them, and what kind of hens are you looking for?

POOPS is a chicken-folk get together, potluck and games plus swap and sell if you want. It's in Tahlequah in June.

Hannah, definitely want to get that checked out! You have my prayers. Hopefully there will be an easy fix for the artery and a speedy recovery.

Quote: when ready to lockdown, I remove the turner and set the eggs in a cardboard egg carton where the eggs sit with the pointed end in the cup. I remove part of the bottom of the cups so air can flow. The cardboard cartons help to keep the hatching chicks from playing football with the eggs on the floor of the incubator and also absorbs moisture.

All y'all that are getting rain.... sooooo jealous!
@Chickenfan4life , Good art discussion to keep your mind off of your leg perhaps... (at the risk of speaking for others, I am quite comfortable saying) We are ALL rooting for you! Keep us appraised please!
@hotcurltr , I think that your apt was tomorrow? Please let us know how that goes.

Prayers for you both.

Speaking of health issues, @Kassaundra how are you doing?
