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

[Fire Ant Farm]

Quote: Northern cold - Beer Can raises his in upstate New York, others have commented as well, including anecdotes of the NNs actually seeming MORE comfortable in the snow/cold (oddly) than the fully feathered members of the same flock. (I cannot comment on Canadian cold...)

Quote: This paper also notes that due to better thermoregulation, their appetites are less suppressed by the heat. (The NaNa birds also had longer keels as well.) Interestingly, there is a significant benefit with regard to strength of the immune system - they propose that this may explain why they are more resistant to Cocci...

Edit to add - the "hot" temperatures for this paper were between 83 and 90F. Yeah, right, "hot".

I'll make sure I tell her you said so

I believe the only blue egg laying autosexers are cream legbars

It was a toss up between quail and guinea pigs for meat animals on our farm. They're quite easy to raise, and unlike rabbits, can be kept together in large groups, don't dig, and can be pastured like chickens with moveable tractors. You only tend to eat the head, however, not much meat.





Additionally,




January 15th

Happy belated birthday.

I was talking at one time to a scientist at a university in AR. It was in the experimental stagess, but he dropped it when people got pushy and greedy too soon.
