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

[duluthralphie]

Ralphie, how bing did you say your toads were at two weeks?

I do not recall, I know they were 2.5 pounds at 4 weeks.


I am not going for a fast growth bird though. I want long lived sustainable 15 pound roasters.

Dux at two weeks are around 4 ounces of meat and bones and 7-10 ounces of poop.

Training for the baby Olympics father's have when the mother's aren't around.

Funny Liz! 

 Nice, how did you get interested in the breed?

Good luck. Relax a little, hatching should be fun.

Sunburned! You had a rather busy day.

 No one sells their best uddered doe. She appears to have a very good udder.

Morning Mike. I started with them as I liked their size. Medium build. Bred to be a dual purpose bird their history goes way back. They are also rare which give me some purpose in having them. I've located a different line of them and I'm considering getting them to mix with what I have. However it would require shipping eggs that I'm not fond of. Some of the offspring I have raise up have some traits I'll have to try and get out.

Quote: Very good reasons. How far would the eggs need to travel to get to you?

Is she already bred, or will you be breeding her soon?

She just kidded the last week of January before I got her. The doeling was retained by the breeder. Next year she will get to raise her kids. I am going to use her milk for my CAE positive does kids.
