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

Why would anyone move to the Vast Wastelands of North of their own free will?


I thought we were still using that as a penal colony.....And most prisoners being given a choice between hanging and being relocated to the Vast Wastelands of the North were choosing the rope...

Whites, What the active ingredient in those bars?

Are they old enough to be the "good stuff"?

Y'all are just wussies. After a few lessons from any one of us, you can beat a polar bear in a wrestling fight.

When we first moved here I set up a multi-run kennel & picked up a few bird dogs to breed mainly for my own use, keeping the ones I liked & selling the rest. One year the state gov't decided in was in the kennel business, although I told them there was no way I was going to turn a profit breed one litter a year. They insisted I was still in business to make a profit, so I politely told them I'd play their silly game, and after 3 years of no profit they'd decide it was a hobby, not a business. So, for 3 years, I kept track of all my dog-related expenses; feed, vet care, self-administered vaccines, field trial expenses, even a 14'x30' concrete pad & 5 4'x12' chain link kennels to set on it. The state finally told me that since I' d not shown a profit for 3 consecutive years the kennel was not a business, but a hobby, which was exactly what I'd tried to tell them in the beginning.

My Dad farmed for 60 years before he passed. I am sure it was just a hobby too.

Who remembers my chick that hatched with unabsorbed yolk? It's been in the hatcher for 3 weeks. The one time I tried to give it a friend it just beat up the friend relentlessly. The "yolk" had dried into a hard brown ball, about the size of a chickpea. Today I examined it again, it didn't seem attached to the skin. I worked it around a bit, loosened it from some fuzz, and it came off easily. This chick now has an "outie."

I gave it a drop of blu-kote and dropped it in the brooder. The others didn't react. YB does not know how to interact with other chicks, but I think he will figure it out.

Bromadiolone (.05%)
Other Ingredients (99.995%) Warfarin, I suspect, since it says "Kills Norway rats, roof rats, house mice, and warfarin resistant Norway rats".

Wikipedia has a very thorough description of Bromadiolone
