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

[Beer can]

I got them from Meyer and they don't have leghorn eggs for sale, so I'm going off the eggs they do sell. Though, I won't complain if it does turn out to be a leghorn. 

As for the Brahmas, when I showed the eggs to Blu after he got home the first words out his mouth were 'I hope there's a Brahma in there', so it's safe to say I could get away with it. 

Have you ever checked out Dunlap's hatching eggs?

I have way too many egg containers at the moment.

I'm glad they found them and are in pretty good shape!

Yes, there is a lot of people that just use FB now for their sales.  Flat Rock is another nice place in Texas, not certain of  the city though. 

One can never have too many egg cartons. Just got 7 back from customers with 200 being shipped now.

At one point, I had three stacks of egg cartons easily half my height. I am finally down to one, after a few years of telling egg customers not to bother bringing them back.

Quote: Sorry, yes, I was referring to genetically polled goats - I had remembered that there was a downside. What is the risk of breeding polled to polled?

Thanks for the CV clarification. Your employer requires you to update your resume every year, that's interesting.
No reason to be sorry, I just wanted to clarify what we were discussing. When breeding genetically polled to genetically polled there is a 12.5% chance of producing a hermaphrodite goat, at least some studies have shown.
My employer is the University of Texas System, it's required of all faculty. It's part of the annual review process and they're in the data system - it's a SACS accreditation requirement.

Yeah, that's what I was curious about. I'm interested in a breeder in San Antonio (Texas Skyz, http://www.txskyz.com), they are near me and have nice looking Nigerian Dwarfs (there are another couple breeders around as well, but that's the one I keep haunting). They have polled kids available sometimes. Most of their updated availability is on Facebook, but you can see the listings. I was thinking polled would be easier, and just make sure buck is not polled (I don't plan on keeping a buck myself.) Mostly I'm window shopping.

Is it just me, or are both these sexy fellas coming on to me through the internet?!

LMAO yer silly!!! but yeah now that you mention it...... They seem to like you

I need 14 a week to keep up. Have to threaten raising egg prices before I get any back. Just ordered those 200 and a guy gives me a bag full. Good thing as I had zero left today. I should put a sign at my desk, save your egg cartons.

They always promise me they'll save some for me but never do.
