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

[Pensmaster]

So many eggs today!! e
DH joked to me that the full moon would give them light to lay. Looks like he was right.

All my EEs are laying. Reasonably certain that the bullet eggs are from the HRIR. I don't have eggs from the CCLs or project pullet, that I know of. @Sally Sunshine

Don't think mine thought much of the full moon today. They've been doing real well though.

Hi bestie! see anything you want?

Hi everyone! I now have everything battoned down for our incoming ice storm, and am reading back. Brb
@hippiestink Hi. I am glad you stopped in, and sorry I missed you.

@mlm Mike @Pensmaster @Fire Ant Farm @kwhites634 AND anyone else who has a suggestion.
I want to build a kind of combination of a stantion and a working/ squeeze chute for my Boer goats. I thought I would make it lower to the ground than the dairy goat milk stand, but up enough to help me work, or with a ramp. I have not come up with a good way to make it squeeze though, and am open to suggestions. The other thought was to make the head gate and feed pan along with one side solid. Since I have not figured out squeeze maybe the second side could be like a crib that comes up to enclose the second side with a butt strap. I figured it could bolt in place unless someone can give me another idea. Thanks guys!

I never had need for a squeeze chute, but I bet if you went to motherearthnews.com you'd find something
