To those of you who incubate, I bought a new incubator and it came with a turner. It came fully assembled, but it had directions on how to assemble it. Is there anything else I need to do? I don't hear it running, and I can't tell if it was turning when I was warming up the bator.
Eek. I came home and checked my meat chicks to find one dead. No big deal, it happens. But I had put my Langshan chicks (2) and my turkey chick in with them so they would have more company. I figured I would be okay until this weekend, until I could build some outdoor housing for the meat chicks. Unfortunately, one of the Langshan chicks is missing, which means it was eaten.

. Well, now they are unhappily separated. They may be lonely, but better off lonely than dead.
