So, every FAQ states on what to do when hatching, but is there a FAQ on what BAD things to look out for? I don't want to redecorate an area with an overripe pre-omlet.

Quote: I thought folks were upset b/c of the treatment of the lions. ???? Lived in China for a couple years. It is one bizarre place and, yes, they have a 180 degree way of looking at nature than we do. Or do they? A friend just got back from Vegas and told of a entertainment venue that...

I'm still waiting to hear a story where Crocodile girl will wrestle a shark... with lasers...!

That's such a freakin' awesome image! That was one of the main reasons why when I was growing up, I wanted to work for the zoo or some animal park...feeding the carnivorous creatures of the earth!

I was wondering about this issue as well. I'd like to get some hens and then pimp them out with a rooster to get some chicks. Just wondering if it's easier to get eggs or calling up a chicken stud? (is that possible?)

If your bird has something like this, I'm sure you'd get a call from the Colonel... http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?from=rss_News&set_id=1&click_id=0&art_id=vn20061001100911405C865039

Quote: Interesting link! I am also interested in DIY Incubators. The 7watt lamp seems low, but I am guessing he's using it for other purposes than chickens. I would probably incorporate red-rooster's fan design in it. Still trying to find some fertilized eggs of my own to hatch....
