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

Try sulfuric acid it kills 100% AND prevent gingivitis!

I tried that...I didn't like the taste so I went back to Listerine.

I get eggs that color from 2 of my EEs and from my EE/Cuckoo Marans cross (or at least I believe that's what they are).

I haven't gotten an egg from my barred rock that I know of...I think barred rock are a lighter shade.

Checked 3 eggs, nothing, as I expected.

Were it me, I'd use eggs as I normally do, and just check for fertility before breaking the yolk. If you never get a fertile egg, you're not out anything.

the storm left this in the debris in our yard.. ironic garbadge..

I am liking your dark sense oi caf humor. Does the listerine not make the eggs a bit tacky? Or is that worth the gingivitis prevention?

whats so tacky about a chick with a million dollar smile?
why did the chickens cross the road? Because the wind...

...tacky as in "sticky." I never considered the "other" meaning.

Why did the chicken cross the road? Here it's to keep up with her guinea friends.

Is there a reason that the locals haven't opened the road with chainsaws?

The gang got together a couple daze ago and cut an opening big enough for a full size pick up to get thru. That is how We got our freezers to the green zone. Last night at midnight, a power company rig clipped all the lines blocking the other way out. Every community around us has power, almost anyway. Being patient. Counting blessings. A giant tree cut our pigs off to the furest pen on the property. Got it city up but have to repair fences.
The worst of it was the chickens. We had damage to the big house and a bunch got tangled and mangled. After the storm we had to sperate bodies and remove the cannibals. It was a horror scene. We burned x amount of chickens on a pallet bon fire. Kept throwing them on over and over. We had countless chicks in brooders that needed heat and they were also cremated. Countless positive candled eggs in incubation. They exploded on the fire. It was a sad event. Our barn kept the teenagers alive. There is around 50 that are happy. 3 of our breeding houses were unscathed.
Goats were confused and screaming/crying all night. They hate water and they were drenched on our front porch, far away from the pasture trees that looked like fishing rods with whales on the hook.
I was more worried for my animals than anything. Its over as far as the storm is concerned but the memories are etched in my mind.

I was playing around wicked silly... but really do use listerine original formula, 50/50 with water. And handle the eggs with gloves. That way when I shake them vigiously they dont fly out of my hand.
