Quote: I suspect something similar is used for packaged cheeses too. I have purposely left out unopened cheese, shredded, and nothing obvious grew. No green mold. Perhaps that cheese is treated via light at packaging. Very cool!!!

Quote: Thanks for the good wishes. Snow I'm ok with. ANd I have room to move it around. Unlike the cities. We have plenty of firewood to burn. REalized the old oak stuff has not dried even a year later without being split. SO kids and DH use the sled to move the black birch that was cut and split over the summer, but is still up in the wood. Eventually the wet snows will come. . . and by then I"ll be ready.

Quote: We'll have to compare notes!!

Thanks tntchix that one looks nice.

I had a Buckeye egg in my GFQ I am using as a incubator and transfering the ones to hatch in the other bator well I guess I over looked one little Buckeye egg. I had to throw out all the other Buckeye eggs as they were all clear. The cockerel had not figured out how to get the job done yet. lol
I heard it peeping and checked the bator and it had pipped so I dampened it and stuck it in the other bator. Well no progess since this morning and it should have hatched two days ago. So I helped it and now it is in a tea cup asorbing it's yolk. And thanks to y'all it is doing better than any I have ever tried to help. YEAH!!!

Bamachicks thanks. I hope yours are fertile but I think I got those out of the red pen and that cockerel knows what he is doing. lol Good luck on your hatch!
Edited to add: How are your Chantie chicks doing?

In the US, some food is radiated to get rid of bacteria (or anything else that's alive). For water, UV lights are used. That might work in the basement.

Around here, some snow is dumped in the sea, and some is gathered in special snow gathering spot. They get tons and tons of the stuff there, and sometimes some surprises too. My favorite was one year when they found a Nissan Micra among the melting snow in the Spring

I think it was in Alaska, a plane crashed on a glacier during WWII. Parts of the plane and the remains started coming out a year or so ago.

Amazing!

added: It was Greenland and they found the rescue plane in the glacier:

I'd say scary instead. In places, thousands of years old snow is melting.

That's when I use the vitamins for the ones that have been helped out. once they have been in the cup for a few days. And..I don't use full strength. I see it every time, if I use full strength, they tend to start twitching, like it's too much for their tiny little system. They need to be a bit stronger before they get the full strength here at home. Works for me. I don't measure, I go by color..a very light yellow to the water..and I give very tiny drops, tiny drops of the mix. My powder vitamins are yellow.
