I guess I'll repeat myself one last time since it appears I wasnt clear enough....
I'm not a "supporter" of hatching double yolkers, never said I was. I've never tried to hatch one. Ive never planned on hatching one because it has a slim chance of hatching, and I would just prefer to set a...
Obviously....
My entire point is very simple. You are more than welcome to share your opinion on hatching double yolkers. But do not PREACH to us about "your peception" of the moral implications involved.
Please read post #6 by @JaeG , it was perfect. They stated their opinion without labeling...
Yes, and honestly I could care less either way. I've never set any double yolkers because they have a very low hatch rate. Why would I set one of them when I could set a normal egg instead?
I actually DO agree with most of Kat C's reasoning but I DO NOT AGREE with her coming on here and...
Ill try this one last time BUT you need to be open minded to see other people's views. The argument FOR setting a double yolker is simple. Answer the following questions truthfully...
Are YOU, as a human being, happy to be alive?
Would YOU, as a human being, have rather not been born, never...
I throw most of them away. :eek: J/K
I bought 4 older GQF cabinet incubators for $1000 and sold 2 to a friend.
In all honesty they are not expensive for what you're getting. They each hold 1200 quail eggs or around 250 chicken eggs. I keep one as a spare and sometimes I'll use both if I'm...
The reason is you came on here and started LABELING people that do not share your views....
Sharing your opinion is great, labeling others is not.... who made YOU the moral authority?
It's one thing to state an opinion that you personally don't like hatching double yolkers because their chance of survival is very low (I agree with you).........but it's another thing to tell someone what they're doing is unethical.....
That's not correct... you may have better hatch rates than a bunch of novice hatchers using $100 incubators they got from tractor supply, hatching eggs that were shipped through the mail. But a quality cabinet incubator will have the same or better hatch rates than a broody hen on any given day...
That's not what I said at all. Let's try this again.....
You said it's unethical because a double yoker has a higher chance of death than a single yolker (paraphrasing). Based on your standards I shouldn't hatch eggs under a broody hen because incubators have better hatch rates....
It does serve a useful purpose, it allows the embryos a fighting chance at life. To DEPRIVE organisms a chance at life, based solely on the fact that said organisms have a higher chance of death seems a lot more unethical to me...
