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

[dan26552]

I wish I could get some to eat. I like rabbit, not as much as duck, but I like it.

It's hard to come by.

I think that causation is needed but to be panic about it is unnecessary.
Benny, I saw a photographic exhibition on Minamata disease at a museum when I was in high school. It's not something one easily forgets, burned into my brain - especially the photo of the mother bathing her child (under spoiler below). This is what happens when people think pollution regulations are dumb. Lots of children were never seat belted in cars years ago (including me) and survived. Doesn't mean I'm going to suggest people not seat belt their children. So I personally do not think the regulations are unnecessary.

Today is cold and rainy so I welcome two bucklings. Beautiful with perfect ears

Homegrown.

So early!!!!! Mine are about that size as well, but not red. This is my first year with apples - have you ever tried bagging them?

We are getting a new horse - We got offered a retired barrel racer who was being boarded and they stopped paying for him to be boarded and never picked him up, so after a couple years of him living there, they decided to just give him away and they offered him to us.

He's a sweetie.

Awesome!!! (I will congratulate you from afar - I'm terrified of horses due to a childhood accident.)

Got some assembly done today, but there's never enough time. Full day of work tomorrow, so no luck there, but I have Friday off for the Battle of Flowers, so I'll hopefully get more done then.

Agreed!

"remberbes how I allways wanted winter in the summer and summer in the winter" oh no...
not bad!

Nope bad, real measurements. (F) are way better than that C degrees stuff

And way is that?

 

[BantyChooks]

And way is that?

Too much mercury exposure.

 

[Akrnaf2]

Congratulations. What did you name it?

Medium -rare

 

[Akrnaf2]

This demonstrates a complete lack of touch with reality.  You really need to get some stronger meds and consider locking up all guns and knifes for your own safety.


We all need a nice + or - 5 degrees C to be happy.Snow does not make one happy...it means work, plowing, shovelling trudging through it....Bad bad bad

Hey, the one plus of snow is it covers the dog poop in the yard... Then again, snow might be worse.

Nope bad, real measurements. (F) are way better than that C degrees stuff

Explain to me again how Fahrenheit is rational? Hmmm?

In what areas is cockfighting prevalent? Do I need to be worried about my birds?

Dinner, I am fine with. Bait, no way. I will kill them myself.

That's the one thing my kids will not let us do. If we sell roosters they have to promise not to eat them! Easier said than done...

And if a person does promise, do you really believe them?

I generally don't - I assume they will eat them or, worse, use them as bait for cock fighting.

So i remember @Akrnaf2 getting a mercury thermo and being wicked excited about it, so i ordered a few off the interweb to put in my incubators

Um, they're accurate but dangerous - mercury exposure if broken, and REALLY important not to get in the water supply. That's why they were confiscated from all of our laboratories in the hospitals - because we have to call environmental safety for hazardous spill if one breaks. Don't you have kids at home? I wouldn't... :/ (Edit to add: You'll probably get crucified if you take them to the daycare incubator.)

We have ouer share of them also.

I understand, it's hard

I'd prefer -20 over 30. Cold, you can dress for -- hot, you can't un-dress for w/o getting arrested.

But I don't like wearing 30 (I'm exaggerating) pondes of clothes just to go outside!

Starting assembly, but I need to go buy more weather-rated staples for the pneumatic stapler (for the hardware cloth). [COLOR=B42000] [/COLOR]

Nice. What tools do you need to do conduit for the roofing/rafters?

Please Don't get me wrong on this! I KNOW how dangerous mercury is, And I don't belittle it, but statistically Cigarettes, Alcohol and cars made much much more damage to people that mercury. And if I remember correctly they get from eating contaminated tuna fish and not from mercury thermometers. ......

Well, around here, for one - I've certainly driven by some of the properties that have lots of fighting cocks in a field in little separated huts on leg leashes. I've been told by a breeder here that that's something that can happen to small roosters sold/given away (we were talking about Cream Legbars). Processing them myself humanely is a much better end for them.
