If you are hatching in a foam incubator, I found that putting a ring of socks/t-shirt around the edge of the incubator did two things. It kept the mess of the hatching off the side of the incubator and it kept the chicks from getting a foot caught between the hardware cloth on the bottom of the incubator and the side of the incubator. Also, when I want to increase the humidity during the hatch, I can soak the fabric in hot water before adding it to the incubator and that brings up the humidity.
It's a HovaBator 1588 so thanks for the tip!
My wife took the dogs out this morning and said there was a big ol' owl sitting on top of my horse trailer
Does anyone have a good recipe for owl soup??
