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

@kajira :celebrate
They both kidded safely! Single buck with great markings, and one of each light headed traditional boers. I did not take my phone to the Barnyard because I was in a hurry because tonight is Kenpo and I am already late.

Well, now i'm disappointed. I totally need pictures. Tomorrow if you can manage it.
 
Yippee - I've now learned how to lose all my read back quotes on the new platform!!! :heWell if you're STUPID enough to hit "Insert quotes" and then refresh the screen before typing anything, it doesn't save the draft of the quotes. So don't do that. (Made me so mad I actually went back and got the quotes all over again.)



I took beginning Dutch for a short period in college, and my primary memory was how much easier it was than I expected it to be - but I was fresh off of a semester of advanced German and am a native English speaker, and it seems to me that Dutch is a little like putting German and English in a blender... (But what do I know - didn't go farther with it). Good luck!!!! :hugs:fl



Oh. My. God. :th

(Youse CRAAAAAZEEEEEEEEE!!!!!)



I NEED this t shirt. :lau



Not yet, but that's a little bit why I persisted with building so many different tractors. I have a lot of breeding hopes and plans that hinge off of a small number of founders (both projects and my German New Hampshires, of which I have 3 males and 3 females). The tractors are good sized housing for those smaller breeding groups. That being said, I need to sit down with a pencil and paper and decide on some priorities. The number of chickens here is breaking me (it'll be better once I get the watering system put together, but still), so hatching has to be high yield/high value this next year.



Adults are actually reinfected with RSV all the time because immunity isn't lasting (the antibodies we make after infection aren't protective against reinfection) - in otherwise healthy adults, it can present like any other respiratory virus/cold, but it can be very serious in the elderly and infirm. It is more severe in little ones because their airways are so small, and they can get into great difficulty with their first infection with it. We know more about adult RSV these days vs. years ago because we are now using much more sensitive tests, and are picking it up in the adults now.

That's the only sane thing Ralphie's got going for him...



VERY nice. Very pretty bird. (But, um, as Ken asked, that's his head on the left, correct?) :lau


:lau:lau:lau

(Murphy's law would indicate that this should be your most successful, highest yield hatch ever!) :lol:

I'm tired and grumpy. I don't want to do chores. Does that make me a bad person? :th

What's Ralphie's idea?
Have about 10 different colours of legbands, and make each colour correspond to a number. Put multiple bands on the birds to make multiple digit numbers. I'm thinking of a band on the left leg to ID clan number, and then 1--3 bands on the right to show individual number.
 
To make it easier on my old brain, I made the numbers line up with the colours of the rainbow---one is red, two is orange, three is yellow, and so on and so forth. Easy, right?
