Don't do it!

No fear. I'm only doing granddogs from now on.
I'm getting too old for 24/7 puppy training.

It's coming. The wet season. That high pressure that's been keeping us dry is collapsing. Then we're gonna get more than we need in like three days. Lol.

I hope it gets all the way up to us...we need it desperately - 3 of 4 stock ponds have dried up. Luckily one is spring fed, so it has a constant supply, albeit, it is low too.

Have any of y'all done a dry hatch? If so, what humidity range is ideal? Do you recommend this method or not? Any info is appreciated

Sounds like our luck. We sit and watch the rain split and go around us.

OMG! That's totally what happens to us ALL THE TIME!

We watch it on radar and it literally splits a few miles from us and goes around. It happens so much that I'm beginning to think we are located in some geographic anomaly that repels storm clouds.

(I feel like an echo here) yeah, up here on this hill we have had the same weather effects happen for over a decade. A cell will develop and as it approaches… yup, it splits and regroups east of us… if it survives the split as it rolls over Denton proper….

We have crevasse in the yards now.

My yard is black clay under the topsoil. We had some chickens die and we put them in the freezer because we can't dig deeper than a few inches.

It has been a struggle keeping the chickens from being too hot and dying. My brother in law lost one of his hens. We are lucky to live on 60 acres and able to give them lots of shade, cool water and a little bit of wet ground every day. Expensive, but it is keeping my flock alive. Can't wait for 90 degree days - sad, but true.

The irony is we're all hoping for a hurricane.

Yes...need water desperately.

I run my small brinsea dry & add water on day 18. It usually runs about 30% to 40% humidity.
