Maybe I need to be more selective about the eggs I put in. I think I am going to hit up a store today for a thermometer for a green house.

Here's a video of one of my eggs during water candling. It's not a youtube video so I can't embed it.

How is it prepared?

I gave a description several posts back, or you can go to the fermented feed thread, or do a google search.

Did some looking and it seems contrary to what I've always read about wet feed. But I do understand the method and practice and practicality. It's like a chicken smoothie bar.

Dangit. I'm sorry.

I agree. That sucks.....lots of tears and hugs getting passed around.

In other news... do anyone else's hens send each other memos when you're trying to collect eggs for hatching???


Seems they take turns holding them in... and one in each coop always poops on their egg as soon as they lay it... :/

I swear they're laughing at me...

The ones they sell at Tractor Supply are cheap.  Ours were not, they are industrial strength which we wanted and needed due to snow loads and severe summer storms.  They've held up to 70 mph straight line winds, many seasons of orange-sized falling black walnuts, hail, torrential rain, and up to 14" of snow.  They are permanently anchored to raised wooden foundations.  They were absolutely worth every dollar spent and offer protected outdoor type confinement.

What about the 1's from Nothern Tool Company? Do you know if they're any good?

I'm sorry to laugh but I can picture your hens scheming on you, lol

I don't know why but for some reason I can not keep the humidity up in my bator. I put water in and 2 hours later the humidity is dropping again. I woke up this morning and it said 24%! I've tried adding the water to sponges and to the channels and it's like the water just disappears. It's been doing this for the last week or so.

At least you're getting eggs. All mine started molting 3 weeks ago. We went from 5-6 eggs per day to 4 to 2, then finally last week we got 6 one day, 4 the next, now 0 for the last 3 days in a row.
