EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

At least you are seeing them.

Interesting how fast Boers grow.

Enjoy!

I moved here (Hardy Township, OH) around 2010, still al little new too me. You stay in contact with any of your PA relatives.

I would like to make contact, but since I grew up on the west coast I only really knew my Grandmother who has passed away. I met two of my aunt's when I was really young, but as an adult I have not heard from them. I know I have another aunt, an uncle, and they all had kids, but I don't know them. By now they should have kids and grandkids as my mom was second to the youngest that lived.

I have a crossbow, a .30/.30, a .243, & a muzzleloader. I'd rather use the muzzleloader above them all; the 1st shot better be a good one. I also have 2 shotguns, but the day I have to hunt deer with a shotgun is the day I quit hunting.

I liked bow hunting when I was young, but it is a hobby I can't afford neither do I have time for now.

@Sally Sunshine
I did the same thing as you! I woke up this morning and 6 had hatched! By the time I left for school 3 more hatched! I'll keep you posted and take pictures after school!

Each year around this time the game warden does stakeouts in the neighborhood to catch any...

I know they could!!

I'm just in a quandary yet again over the best way to kill em. A good friend of mine told me to not try the broomstick method, coz they had seen breaking the neck done and it never made a clean kill..... So back to square zero.

Hang upside down, restrain, and slit the blood vessels on the sides of the neck. (I use a scalpel.) Relatively painless, humane, and easy for you to control. If you don't have a cone, use a feed sack with a hole cut in the corner of it to restrain them. I think @Pensmaster does it that way, I have a cone.

OK, I gotta go - see you guys later!

I know one group is just outside Pittsburgh.

Yeah.... It's just that taking the bird, looking it in the eye, and slicing its throat open that gives me shudders thinking about it.

I'm such a wuss... Maybe I aint cut out for this whole chicken thing. *Sigh*

Maybe, I'm confused. You know a group of your relatives around Pittsburgh, PA, or know I have relatives around Pittsburgh, KS?
