Number three, Cinnamon Roll, please!

Huh. If that were so, wouldn't you think it would be caused by any food being prepared? I cook very, very frequently, and I rarely use the microwave anymore. Whatever it is, the microwave is staying in the garage.

Hooray! Go get 'em, Starlord!

Thank you guys! That's what I've always heard about microwaves, but whenever I am around any microwave that is cooking I get really bad stomach pain. But only while it is cooking. Maybe I am just hypersensitive?

Does anybody know if chicks can be raised in proximity to a microwave? I have my microwave in the garage because of the tiny amount of radiation (and, yes, I can tell a difference from when I had it in the house.), but I also plan to have chicks in my garage in about a week. Has anyone had any...

Well, silly me. I candles again using a smaller flashlight, and as it turned out, the air cell is right side up after all - I just couldn't see it because my flashlight was too big.

Broody, every time is easier. My beautiful Olive egger, Lilly, has hatched 100% of the eggs I've given her without fail and she raises them like a champ. That being said, with my 'bator, I can control it - when it hatches, haha! Lilly is her own bird, I can't ask her to go broody! (Well, I can...

Let's go, Starlord! These little duckies need a leader!

Can you post a picture? What incubator are you using, and what temperature and humidity is is set to?

Is hiring a chick-sitter an option? My seven year old neighbor watches mine with no problems!

"Bobby Ray, I can't find the fuse!!!" 😂😂

What do you get when you cross a creepy witch with a Mexican flatbread? Tor-Tia Dalma!
