That would be great, my search online showed me nothing, lol.

I pm'd them to you.

I really don't know. He's in a brooder right now. I will probably try to feed him until he is strong enough to make it in the tree on his own.
Then shoot him...
Dang cat should have found him before I did. There is nothing blue about this

Wait, I missed it, you have a squirrel in the brooder??

You know, he might could help me sex them sooner. Squirrels love nuts

I've got pics somewhere. I know I've posted some on byc, I'll look for them.
My 9 year old is just like that! He'll make friends with anyone! Kids, adults, it doesn't matter. So they'll get along great. And he's a big animal lover and super hero freak.

That's my boy too! lol

That's bad!

Ok, when I candled earlier, depending on the angle that I candled from, on some of the eggs, it looked like a solid mass from 1 angle but from a different angle there looks like fluid all the way up the side of the egg up to the air cell, is that normal?

Absolutely! I'm a bit of a freak about under done meats, better to be safe than sorry, besides that's what BBQ sauce is for right? We always have a wet acid brine and a dry salt brine both that we use.

Oh gosh no!

I cold smoke salmon just to pick up a little flavor, it can still be refrigerator cool in the middle after smoking.

I cold smoke pork, slice paper thin and vacuum pack then into the freezer. I then heat until done later to make awesome BBQ pork sandwiches. The good part around the bones gets slowly braised until it falls off the bone and makes pulled pork. That's about the only "well done" meat I like besides brisket.

I like my pork chops grilled medium, and turkey, chicken, fish and shrimp until just done.

I like my steaks right about natural temp inside, and just the slightest shell of sear on the outside. I toss a hunk of oak on the grill fire while cooking steaks.

Great BBQ doesn't require sauce. I generally skip it, or just dip once every couple of bites as a palate cleanser.

We also get off subject on occasion... lots of occasions... So since I know we have some shooters around here, I thought I'd show off my new targets.
Had to buy new tires for my car yesterday (cha-ching... OUCH!) So we made targets out of them. Supposedly, the lead will collect in the tire, instead of ending up everywhere, plus they make a nice holder for the steel target:

Great Idea, let me know if it works please! I would love to make one for the kids targets if it catches them!

X2, sounds like they need a little more time. Were the air cells getting a lot bigger (drawing down) yet?

just what I was going to ask! lol

@Ruby: I couldn't really tell since the cells are so screwy. I think 1 or 2 may hatch tomorrow but I think several will take longer. There's still lots of fluid in some of them. And the #12 egg still has a loose section in the cell. He's the most underdeveloped. That egg is just huge though. I mean REALLY big.

if your air cells are that screwy and big, it may be in your BEST interest to stop candling and sit on your hands.... take time to read the guide to assisted hatching to better understand EXACTLY whats going on in there! in my signature is the link! read again and again

until drawdown (when the chick starts to absorb excess fluids) their will be fluid....

K, I think I'm going to sit on my hands and just wait from now on, lol. My air cells still look small though, do you think I should cut the humidity back? Right now it's around 65%
