The Demonstration will cover a few different areas and a question and answer period. Whatever we sell the birds for the proceeds will go to the POOPS fund.

AL

i will avoid that demonstration, but dave won't - he does all the dirty work- i'm such a softy


Al- you did see where coral came to our rescue?

Yes I saw that, I am pleased you found a way to see me again..........

I didn't figure you would be sitting in the front row for this one and that's just fine indeed. We have had this request for many years but our Venue was never in on the idea, but this year we are good. I think it can be very helpful to many folks and it does have a purpose not only for those into meat birds but for folks who find themselfs in an unfortunate situation where they have to do the deed.

I am not changing the Heat source just the Thermostats, wafers are more accurate & easier to adjust with less swings and having a back-up system is insurance. The thermostat regulates the heat source and tell the bulb when to come on and off, Wafers are used in most of the better commercial model incubators but we are not talking brooders.

Morning - We're making up snow days by adding an extra class period to our school day until the end of April. Students are muddeling through. It makes for a loooong day.

Al - Thanks for the hotel info. I'll keep looking. I'm not keen on staying in a room that moves when you turn the lights out.

Thank's Shooter................... I sometimes use the heat sink Jar to regulate any unforseen temp swings when I first set it up and tested it. I no longer use it because it does really well with temp's and humidity. I will have to look out at my shop to see if I have any ones that will work in stock, I keep several dozen types & styles for my Business and may have 1 or 2 hold back's.

hey that sounds great i really hadnt thought about hatching any eggs but this place is addicting

When you were first greeted to the Okie thread, we did give you the standard disclaimer about addicts and their addictions on this thread - and how we like to "enable" others to be addicts, didn't we?
