BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

The Pekin duck I butchered out had a beef texture, but I thought it tasted more like a rich dark meat chicken. The goose though was almost totally identical to beef.

Speaking of mad science projects...

I've seen this, I think it's a hoax- I see no evidence of sterile technique. It's tough enough to hatch whole eggs that have been mishandled. They might have been able to keep the embryo alive for a few days but I really, really doubt they hatched any chicks. Just my Canadian dollar (worth about US 2 cents).

One of the most delicious looking science projects I've seen. Haha

Keeping in mind this is one of the CULLS

Pretty soon lpatelski is going to need a forklift to move her chickens around if her chickens keep getting bigger and bigger........

If you would like to replicate the experiment:

Hmmmm..........thanks, interesting, but still skeptical.........published paper and all. I'd like to see if anyone else can replicate this. 8/14 eggs hatching from grocery store eggs cracked like you're making an omlette into a plastic cup- ????Really?
I know it's been done before, it's not the procedure I doubt, but I'd like to see this tried using the exact same technique the high school students use in the video. That's what I think is fake. And, their hatch rate sounds just a little too good even with good, sterile techniques.
If so, I'd really like to know what the $#%@ courier companies are doing to our hatching egg boxes marked "Fragile".

I think some folks are worried about the wrong international border.

Might be a Canadian thing...You been trying to sneak anything across the border? I know a couple of folks who have and did it boldly as dirt. I was not aware that there are areas in the Eastern US that has border crossings with NO guards on either side but I think they surely must have cams of some sort???

I guess if someone can haul a load of poultry from one side to another, it wouldn't be all that difficult for a person or ten to make it. I personally wouldn't have the testicular fortitude to try to cross with a chicken sandwich, much less a big batch of live chicks!! I'll have to admit...it was a couple of Canadians who carried the 'big ones'.

I'll have to add...they must have known someone to risk their freedom and/or considerable cash and reputations. I would have just sucked up the loss and considered it a life lesson.
