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

[Akrnaf2]

There's much agreement between the Torah and the bible as far as animals to eat and not to eat. In fact, isn't Leviticus (old testament) also in the Torah?
It made sense to me. When one looks at the list without an eye to religion, the list still makes sense because in my mind it eliminates bottom feeders (swine, fish without fins/scales, etc.) The remainders are cleaner animals in general.
I used to adhere to the list for health reasons, rather than religious reasons.

Yes it is, it is one of the five books of the Torah תורה
Helth and clean are 2 very important things in our religion.
It is a constant thing in food prepration, befor and afterr eating, when you get up, and go out after visiting the rest room, ect, ect,
The notion "Thara"-טהרה is very dominant!

@ChickenCanoe I have one black Pendensenca chick from my last hatch, 3 weeks ago. Any tips about distinguishing the jender?

The males develop a huge come that should be discernible by 3 weeks. The pullets combs won't be prominent for a 3 or 4 months.
That's about all you can go by if you don't have other penes to compare them to.

Morning all! Another overcast day- I wish we would get some rain out of these clouds. Currently it's around 60, with a high expected of 73. To me, this is PERFECT weather to be working outside.

@daxigait congrats on finding all that info. You did a ton of research to get to that point, and it's nice to finally to see the results. Good luck with all the breeding you are doing!

@Sally Sunshine Good luck with the puppies!! Do you know how many she is carrying?

No last time I had the vet do an ultrasound they said the mom carried four she had nine lol

@Christinecam how'd the indoor bird thing work out, lol?

Sweetpea came in for about an hour and hung out with 6 week old bearded d’uccle. Then cried and cried to back out. I’ve never heard a sound like she makes, super cute!! Almost like a fittzing cat. So, I put some old reptile rock heaters on the walls to take the chill out.
