BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

I like that idea! The ventilation also gets rid of the stink.

All the fish are Chinese here- even the cod.
I can buy Alaskan salmon though in tins, and I stock up if there's a sale.

If you're looking for a source of "clean" fish, here's a link to a company I've used before with outstanding results. They are a bit pricey though. (Isn't all good food?)

I had Chinese tilapia from the grocery store once. While I hate to waste food, it was so bad that I threw there rest of the frozen package out. I've scrutinized packages very carefully ever since...

Hey - it's Day 7 of my first attempt at hatching - I set Dumbledore's girls' eggs when he got injured. I candled today - 15/16 are developing, moving, and look great! (One looks like it was infertile.)








Yay!!!

Congrats!! Did you get to see the embryos dancing? I so love seeing that!

Thanks everyone! It's my first time, so I was sorta squee-ing like a little girl... (Part of me was somehow convinced that none of them would develop - maybe I was trying not to get my hopes up!)

I have some shipped eggs on the way, and I know that they are a different matter with regard to hatching success, so it's nice to have this batch developing from my own eggs to know what things are "supposed" to look like. Shipped eggs will be put in a second incubator, and will be about 1-1.5 weeks behind these ones (if they ever get here! Obsessively checking tracking info...)

I have to say, though, the next thought I had was "I'm going to have to build more housing..."

FYI and if anyone really cares, I've been stuck in the house for two days. Not really complaining because the heat feels good on my old arthritic bones but the SKY-HIGH humidity works to negate any good from the heat.

To keep this chicken-related, I'm having two NNs butchered for dinner for the weekend and I'll be the cook. I really wouldn't trust Ariel with these older cocks and she's having her 'beau' over for dinner on Sunday. It's clear she really likes him because she's going to church (Mass) with his family. I think she's planning to smuggle him home with her.
