I finally sat down and reconfigured my mason jar no-roost cone to fit the plastic one-quart feeders and waters. These work great to stop chicks or small bantams like kikirikis from roosting and poo-ing in their feed/water.
They can be found on my website or on ETSY which is conveniently connected to the start order button at the top of this page. On these sites you will also find the original hatching rings with their connectors that I created a year ago to assist in those hard to hatch chicks and shipped eggs. Check them out.

Not saying the hatching rings helps… but my hatch rate likes them.

Hatching rings connector. Someone had asked me to connect several of the hatching rings together, but I didn’t want to permanently attach them together. So I made a little connector allowing you to connect your hatching rings together in whatever shape you want and as many as you need. If you’re interested, just send me a message. I will eventually get them in my Etsy shop so you can purchase them.

Also make these lovely “ no roost” cones that fit mason jars. I got so tired of chicks and kikirikis roosting and pooping in their water/food. Problem solved.

Update: : You all officially pushed The Local Yolk past 2,500 rings sold 😭💛 I’ll be doing the drawing for the 12-ring giveaway tomorrow (3/14) afternoon and I’ll post the winner here. Thanks for all your support!

I realized I’m only 5.5 dozen hatching rings away from hitting 2,500 hatching rings sold! Many of those are repeat buyers, and these rings have helped hatch eggs in incubators across the U.S., Canada, and Australia.

To celebrate, I’m giving away one dozen hatching rings, size of your choice, with free shipping once I hit 2,500 sales. To enter, follow this page and tag a friend in the comments below. Winner will be drawn when we reach the goal.
