➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Had one mystery death today, so I'm down to 25. It was another crazy hot day here and I found the dead chick in the hottest part of the day. Everyone else looks great, so I think one just got dehydrated or over-heated. I often lose one meatie within the first couple of days of getting the shipment, particular on 3 day ships, so it's not great, but I'm not worried either.

The rest of the meat box heroes (I love that), are doing fantastic. I set up a screen so they could look out into the chicken yard, and they were lined up there watching the big chickens this evening.

You have to say it like this:
You are going to have to play this song when that day comes.

Every single one from privett hatchery still is. Or wa last year. They were all some partridge variation.

There was some from Privett at our TSC that weren’t chipmunk!

No ma’am! Those vaccines hardly work as they’re just guesses on what the most prevelant strain will be that year. Rarely above a 25% chance of it working.

They make us get them for school! Peeves me off to no end. We can't do clinicals without them!

That was the strain we had here. TBH I cannot recall if I actually got SF (but recovered fast) or the common Flu. All I remember is that is was pretty bad and I didn't go to school for DAYS. But dad says it wasn't SF so

You probably did. It was really bad!

I can't guarantee that I'm even going to go through with killing them.

Raising your own meat it incredibly satisfying and incredibly difficult.

Do ya'll get the flu shots?

Nope. I refuse to year after year.

Tessie got one from Ideal too and I think Nutty's came from Ideal too.

I know.
I really can't wait.
I am so excited!

Yeah I'm not exactly sure how it happens but I follow a lot of pages on alien land to try to educate myself and many many folks are getting non EE looking EE lately. im thinking it's bc less dominant traits are starting to make appearances. I don't 100% understand genetics though so I'm not expert on it. I just know what I've been seeing.

Well the stock I got my EE eggs from were all EE which made the chicks F2 EE so it is not impossible.

Parm is ready. Gotta go.
