Hey I just saw that they sell bob cat urine to keep away rats, mice, voles, and such on mypetchicken.com. Has anybody tried this, it sounds interesting, but you would think that it would maybe lure in bob cats that are feeling territorial or looking for a mate. Or just bobcats in particular...

Hi, I have never incubated and I am wanting to get as much info as possible before trying to hatch some eggs. I have seen quite a bit of incubation advice but what about after hatching? I am wanting to vaccinate (there was a mareks out break in our area) so what would I do? How long after...
