The Unsung Heroes of Stability: A Deep Dive into the Inclinometers Market

Every skyscraper that stands firm, every electric vehicle that navigates a slope, and every tunnel that maintains its shape relies on a silent, steadfast guardian: the inclinometer. These high-precision sensors, which measure the angle of an object with respect to gravity, are far more than just glorified spirit levels. They are mission-critical components, forming the backbone of safety, efficiency, and structural health across a host of global industries.

The Foundation of Growth: Where Tilt Matters Most

The inclinometers market is experiencing a steady, powerful upward trajectory, driven primarily by massive global investment in infrastructure and technology.

The Construction and Geotechnical sector remains the largest consumer. Inclinometers are vital for monitoring the stability of retaining walls, dams, embankments, and deep excavations. They provide the critical, real-time data necessary to detect minute ground movement, prevent catastrophic landslides, and ensure the safety…

We received our new incubator today. We set it up and put 14 eggs inside. They should hatch in about 21 days. I am hoping some of them will be the offspring of some of the hens we lost this weekend.

We lost our White Rock, Houdini, today. The hawk came back and successfully killed her. It was still eating her when we discovered the attack. This brings our total count down to 11 hens and 3 roosters. We bought new fencing materials to try and set us up better to keep the predators away, including the hawks.

We woke up to a devastating scene this morning. We found 5 dead hens, to include our Buff Orpington, Cream Puff, and our Black Giant, Midnight. Two others are missing. One of the hens was missing its head, and they were all pretty cold and stiff. I believe the coop door closed with them still outside, and a racoon got them.

In addition to the massacre, our White Giant, Snowflake, was attacked by a hawk shortly after the coop door opened this morning. There were piles of her feathers all over the yard mixed with hawk feathers. She is clearly stressed out, as she is very lethargic. She has a few wounds on her backside as well. I brought her in to isolate her with Cherry.

We pulled out our incubator to try and hatch some new chicks, but it is not working. We will have to buy a ne…

Our egg count is now between 14 and 16 a day. Nugget, our Golden Laced Polish, acted a little broody today. We may let her sit on eggs if she becomes broody in the spring.

Our sick chicken has been named Cherry. She layed an egg today, which is a good sign and means she is not eggbound. Though, the egg she laid today was quite large and covered in blood, so it must have hurt on its way out.

We have a hen with a severe case of vent gleet, which is essentially a yeast infection in her vent. I soaked her for a bit to clean her up, then I isolated her and started her on treatments with probiotics and monizacole cream.

We are averaging about a dozen eggs a day. Our girls are doing really well. Today, we got pur very first fairy egg. It is so little compared to the rest. We expected a tiny yolk, but it actually contained a large yolk with very little white.

Our little Golden Laced Polish layed her first egg. She will be our only white layer.
