I didn't know peafowl were loud. Glad I hadn't seriously considered them! LOL Anyone raise quail? We have considered some quail.
But this will have to be my last hatch for a while. Too much stuff coming up for me to be fretting with little chickies. Our camp hasn't gotten nearly enough done on it this spring... hubby is mad because I don't want to leave the "kids" alone at home lol. But we are definitely taking vacation in July for my 50th b-day, and I get to see all of my sisters in one place... something we haven't done in many, many years, except for funerals

since we are scattered all over the US.
My garden never even got started this year, another bummer... there's nothing like a fresh picked tomato or cucumber! But I'm still hopeful to get deer food plots in the fall. Hunting season will be here before we know it.
As far as this hatch, my humidity was running upper 20's to about 32%. Cells were big, so I decided on a squirt of water. Well dangit if it didn't shoot to 55. So I suctioned the water back out and tried a small piece of sponge. I was hoping for 40. Sponge still was around 50, so I cut it in half (down to about 1" x 1"). Was still showing about 45 when I had to leave for work, so I took it out. It will slowly drop back to 30, but that will be fine for today. I suppose....
