I am thinking of buying an outdoor wood furnace before winter this year but was looking for any information anyone has on them. I have read a lot of websites and they all claim to have the best one but I was hoping some of my friends on here might have one and give me some honest help in buying...

Lay them on their side Sunday afternoon on the wire rack. I have only hatched 2 batches of chicks but of the 36 I have incubated only 2 haven't hatched or 95% which I am pretty proud of.

I do agree with most of you and I do use the search function and like I said in the original post I have gotten a lot of great information on here. But when you post a question that you cant find in the search function and you know that there is almost 30,000 members on here and you get 1 answer...

4 from 4 today but yesterday was only 1

I'am in the same boat you are in. I have 6 chicks that are 5 1/2 weeks old and I would really like to get them out in the barn in their pen. But it is still like 10 degrees at night and I really dont want to lose any of them, they are my first hatch. I posted a question close to this and really...
