Cbrandenburg,
KB and I will all ways look out for safty percocions and we will all way help others to for your and others for safty perocions.
We toke out the light and made room for warmth and put new straw down KB said he would hang a new light in there but
for when we feed them and if they are cool. But Please Don't
Hang The Light On Shelfs Very Dangeris. I had mine on a tall
shelf.. I didn't know the chicks would get to it but they did and
hit it off the shelf... No one was heart... That's a very good
thing.. Pass this on to every one it might save the little ones
and bigger chickens... Thanks,

Tracey,
In my hatching bator I have Chinese Ringneck Pheasants, Salmon Faverolle Bantams & Partridge Silkies. I am thrilled to see them start pipping! I can hear little chirps from the bator, so maybe it won't be long now! :-) No pics yet........hopefully soon. As for the crazy weather, my poor hens don't have a clue what is going on. One of my Pied Guineas actually laid a "button quail size" egg this morning. They are all terribly confused right now. Maybe it will warm up and stay that way soon. I'm off and running to do my outside feeding, watering, checking routine - - - talk to you later! Have a nice evening.
