BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

Hi Hellbender and everyone!
What about the Doll Baby sheep? They are small.
My Light Sussex are coming along well. Inbred and strain-crossed this year.
The strain-cross is a true nick, the chicks are looking great at 6 months.

Best,
Karen

Arielle,
We traded some chicks for a Little Giant 9200 bator with egg turner. The Styrofoam is broken on one corner.
Can we get parts for it? Or is it feasible to coat that corner with duct tape?
Thanks,
Karen

I know someone that used duct tape to fix a bator and it still worked for them.

Can you post a photo?

Styrofoam is easily fixed with Elmer's glue or Gorilla Glue. If the pieces are in tact, just broken, it could be fixed, hopefully.

Just wanted to say hello. I'm on page 81 of 173 pages of this thread so far and have learned TONS of stuff from you guys, so thank you. I think I have a few more days of reading before I'm caught up to this point, but it's proving to be well worth the effort.

We have never messed with sheep because we don't like the taste. But thanks for the suggestion.

You are right on time. We're just getting started.

Ok. Yes, the pieces are intact, just badly cracked. Thanks for the heads up. Now I know what to fix it with

To those of you who may have tried to email me, I apologize. There is some malfunction with my server that is sending mail back.

I'm still in Louisville and will be until sometime this coming weekend, when I hope to head home to WV with my daughter.

I'm sure it's just a minor thing with the email but I asked Jason to leave it alone, considering the mix-up he caused me the last time he got 'creative' while messing with my pc.

I hope to be settled back home soon and will hopefully be able to be on this thread more often but in the meantime, I appreciate those who are helping me try to keep it alive.

Aaah...yes. Technology. Don't you just love it?
