Hi Organic Flutterby, Once a roster mates with a hen they do lay fertile eggs for as long as 10 to 14 days. I cage breed seramas (for color)and may time I pair a roster with as many as 30 hens. Each hen has her one cage and the roster is moved three times a day from cage to cage. It is funny, after the first 2 or 3 days of moving the roster around-he will jump out onto my hand so he can go to the next. They are so smart-more than we think. Some hens love to 'get down and broody' and will set on rocks if you let them let along infertile eggs. If you get a hen that wants to set and have no rosters-get some fertile eggs (try some golden pheasants eggs) from a friends flock or google 'Fertile eggs for Sale' you'll get all kinds of results. Then switch the eggs-let the new eggs sit out for 4-6 hour first so they won't be too cold and run the hen off the nest. I use this method years ago to add new kinds of birds to my flock (good for bringing new blood lines in also). Good luck. Keep on Chick'en.

kurto has provided you with some very good advice. As far as your iDevice dedicated system, and not liking in-wall speaker level controls, I don't agree with it. I don't know if you are single, or have a family, or have company staying with you at times, but unless they all have iPhones/iPads with them at all times, how are they suppose to control each zone that they might be in? I recommend a traditional setup with in-wall speaker controls, set at mid-range, that then can be controlled remotely, as well as in-room. That then provides individual users to lower sound levels, when needed, without trying to find you or an iPhone/iPad to do it. So, you have in-wall 16g wiring back to a multizone amplifier (Savant or other brand?), but you haven't really mentioned what you wish to distribute over the CAT5e/6 - RG6 to each location. Do you also want video in each room? Is the source HDMI/HDCP video, STB distribution, or over-the-top streaming? Unfortunately, there's no simple solution or standard, so like kurto suggested, put it all in conduit - and I highly recommend with lots of room for new pulls.

The Vet started with a miticide in the ears, then followed with the Advantage which is broad spectrum for fleas/includes for mites. This one went on neck like reg flea treatment. I dosed her again in 30 days with same. I'm thinking might have to travel 100 mi to bigger clinic. annzgw I know very well what she has experienced as I had a night flying moth fly into my ear once & couldn't get it extracted until next morning-- it is awful. I think Sassy's mites should be dead by now, but this particular ear is 99% closed off from the swelling. I have already spent over $300 on her and have no problem paying to get her fixed....if possible. People should not have pets if they can't be as responsible as they'd be with their children. We are going back to the vet clinic and ask them to refer us somewhere that might help. Thx for all the suggestions.

Jinx, you really do own two cats that aren't yours? In your pictures I always see two together whether inside or out. None of my cats sleep together, maybe because we didn't get them as siblings. Raven is the one who jumped off the UPS truck on Valentines Day one year. I want Zephyr! What a handsome cat. When Raven cools off outside she lays on the shaded part of the porch with fresh water nearby. Sometimes I'll find her in my Clematis jungle where it's moist but that's usually because she's waiting for a Lizard. Age has a lot to do with it I think. She's around 8 and never did this before, and I remember all of our elderly cats in the past and currently one who is 12 likes to lay on top of the dryer when it's running.
