Btw, bloodspots and fertilization have nothing to do with each other. An unfertilized egg is just as likely to have a bloodspot as a fertilized egg.

Well I should have known better. I am going to blame my mother for that piece of misinformation. She isn't wrong very often, but then she was raised before there were computers.

I am so going to have mention this to my DH also. He had a cow when I bought a couple of dozen eggs at the auction, because he said that they would have blood spot in them. I told him that i didn't care, but then thought that maybe he knew something about the matter. That was a very expensive 36 eggs I bought that day. Since DH wouldn't eat them I went and bought a incubator, and tried to hatch them. 2 of the chicks made it. To say the least I know a lot more than I did before.

The blood spot is blood from the hen. Eating a egg with a blood spot, sure you eat more chicken blood , when you eat chicken........

As a child I wanted a pony sooo bad after reading Misty and then a horse after reading Black beauty . I thought horses were sooo smart. As an adult I leased a camp quarterhorse and found out just how dumb some of them are!

When I was 10 I made my parents take me on and my sisters to Chincoteague Island because of the MIsty books... Got chased by a Stallion

But it was well worth it....

Last night we had some family friends over and I showed my EE hen to their daughter. She was holding her and admiring her shiny feathers and she loved how soft she was. Then I told her that this hen lays green eggs and she said, "EEWWWW!!!!" and didnt want to hold her anymore. I had some further explaining to do lol.
She's only 11, but i still thought it was funny

Too bad the hen is still getting over a broody stage; I could have shown the girl the beautiful mint green eggs we get!

Hum? Lots of these things are things that city people wouldn't know... Now I know what males and females of most critters are and that they are not breeds, and I know that geldings are neutered/castrated stallions - but now I'm going to have to look up a few things now.

Remember horse sense is only good till the horse spooks.

Oh here it is I looked it up... hummm family site... I'll just post the link...

LOL, no worries.......a proud cut gelding is technecally ( I probably didn't spell that right) a casterated stallion. But the casterating process wasn't done right and the horse still has the temperment and tendencies of a stallion, even though he can't do any thing. In other words the "want to" is there, but the " can do " isn't.

My last barrel horse was a "proud cut" and he was pretty agressive. I got along with him fine as did my husband but he wouldn't tolerate another male messing with him. I also had to keep him away from mares in "heat" and other stallions.

Unfortunataly we lost him 10 years ago to colic.

It's okay by me after homeschooling my kids, there isn't much that could really surprise me these days.

I am a firm believer that children should know things like this. I would rather have responsible adults teach kids the things they need to know thanthat they learn this stuff from other teenagers or from a pervert. When kids used to grow up on farms there was a lot less irresponsible behavior in the world. I am also a firm believer that we need continue to learn for a lifetime.
