    Chainlink extenders with electric or barbed wire to keep predators out.

    No, I was not planning on it. No weasels thankfully. More concerned about larger animals that might harm dogs.

    Chainlink extenders with electric or barbed wire to keep predators out.

    I have a 4 ft chain link fence and would like to increase height to keep predators such as foxes, coyotes, bobcats, raccoons out. I was looking at fence extenders but they are only about 2 ft tall. I could put them straight up or outward at a 45 degree angle. Would either of these be enough...

    Chick pics! Ideas on breed/sex?

    Hi all, Just wondering if any of you would be able to take a guess at the possible breeds these chicks are. they were born on 12/24 and pics are at 3 weeks old. All eggs were various shades of brown. Some with feathered legs, some without. Many had light dots on their heads. Are combs...

    Thank you so much for responding. I truly appreciate it. Sorry for my late reply. I got caught up in Christmas and all of my new chicks. Opening the incubator seemed to have no effect. 11 of the 12 eggs hatched. All happy and healthy!

    I have a small 12 egg incubator so eggs are very close together. 2 hatched in the last hour and one climbing over all of the other eggs as it runs around. Will this distort the others sense of direction and decrease chance of successful hatch? Should I remove them now or how long should I wait?

    Help! Lock down Humidity at 75% What should I do? Pic of incubator

    Thank you! Can you tell me if I should put more water in the bottle now or wait til I see no more in the tube? I am just afraid if i put more in now the force of adjusting the bottle would cause it to go up even more

    Hi everyone, First time using a forced air incubator. Humidity would fluctuate quite a bit. I found it in the 60's and 70 degrees before. Also as low as 30 degrees. I candled a couple last night and I thought the sack looked small. I did not see movement (should I be able to see it in light...
