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

[RUNuts]

I have a used hova-bator 1602n with egg turner I can send you, if you want it. I got it from Craigslist so the outside is a bit discolored but the insides clean. I used it a little before switching to my Brinsea so I don't know how well it runs but you can cannibalize it if you want to. I work every weekend so I can't drive down unless it's during the week. We can either meet halfway or I can mail it to you. (I'm in the DFW area).

PM sent. Very generous & thank you. You exceed as an enabler!

Excuse me....if you drive down here you are staying the night at my house.
We will have a popcorn party!

Ahhh, pajama popcorn party. Sounds delightful.

You are cooking though!
I'll let you use my kitchen!

Poor girl drives 5 hours for a personal delivery & you want her in the kitchen. Does she cook good?

The Mex can make anything.

I could probably rig something up myself...I wasn't thinking tin though.

You could make a quail size cone out of a big Dickies bbq cup or one of those vinyl cutting mat.

Heck, for that matter you could make one out of a cheap paper plate and toss it after each bird.

Good job Kiki! The quail will taste delicious.

I usually just hold the bird, but I'm going to try a Gatorade bottle next time to see if that works for a cone. The meat scissors I use have a notch in one blade, I think for helping cut bone? I try to line the thick part of the neck with the notch and as I'm closing the scissors I pull away from the body. Usually works pretty well.

You can just rip their heads off with your bare hands if needed, I had to do that once with an injured bird when I didn't have time to get the scissors. I didn't really want to know I was capable of doing it that way but it was better than the bird continue to suffer.

with them being so small you could prolly go to an auto parts store and get a long spout plastic funnel and cut to size

Christmas before Thanksgiving!?! What kind of heathen talk is this?

It's Thanksgiving here on Monday, so technically she could set up the tree next week.

She better or I'll have to kick her out of my kitchen.

I have no clue what a BBQ cups is but I do use these cutting mats. Perfect.
I worry that they might flip. Themselves out before I cut though.
