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

[daxigait]

That is a lot of feed/work if you can't sell them

Tell me about it, but eggs are going less than a dollar a dozen at the store, and I won't do that.

Quote: Agree 100% with Phage. Bought some bantams and concentrated on the cochin with splay leg and bent toe. Corrected completely, but later noticed bent toe on d'uccle too late. She is fine three years later. but toe permanently bent (and I still feel terrible.) So give it a day then check ALL the chicks.

So disappointed...

Quote: Did you know that elephant seals only breath once every 20 minutes while on land, and can go 2 hours between breaths while at sea?

We are looking at these guys to figure out a mechanism to rescue/protect the brain after stroke.

No, I didn't know that - neat!!!

Quote: I'm back - got about 12" taken off, which is such a relief. So that's probably enough for both of us!

(Seriously, it was getting where every time I washed it, it was like I was wrestling with a sea creature!!!!

Quote: Wow! And interesting - those eggs look like Sweetie's eggs (my NN), though they are brown, not green. I haven't hatched form her yet - was going to this fall, but so many chicks this year that I may wait until next year...

I should start working on stuff again... Don't wanna, but that's just too bad, isn't it?!

I get 18 to 25 a day

I only have 13 chickens though lol

I've been getting 12 out of 13 with a rare 13th polish white egg. Way more than we need. Been making tons of different kinds of pickled eggs, think around 12qts now. Just made a few dz dyed Easter eggs with the kids, the brown eggs dyed just fine.

I had to buy eggs

How about Bluegrass?

yessah!!

Aldi's had eggs .59cents a dz last yr. I put 4dz in the cart (for pickled eggs) DW threw a fit "we're not spending $40 a month on feed to buy eggs!!!"
But they weren't laying... and I used to think fresh eggs were about impossible to peel good.

Tried all the suggestions, nothing seemed to work for me. Boil 2dz old eggs of ours just to get a dz presentable one's for pickling.
Then my brother said to slice up a lemon and put it in the water. Don't know why it works, can't be just the acid cause I've added vinegar before and didn't help much.
Add a sliced lemon and the shells slip right off even on that day laid eggs.

Silly.

I mostly listen to classical or hymns, or kids songs if they're in the car.... Unless I want a long ride full of "Can you change the music, pleeeaase?"
