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

[DwayneNLiz]

@DwayneNLiz Weather-beata requires you use a distributor, but the US distributors I have contacted either won't special order a saddle, or in the or possibility I have found can't get one right now. I am ready to

so weather-beata or wintec? what size seat? and i am assuming you want the wintec because of the easy gullet change?

I sit there large dressage and have one, but the pro stock does not work for me in the large.

wintecs sizes are wonky

Hmmmm.... Yep, I use the numbered ones form Strombergs, but since they're a bit clunky, I usually wait until they are a week or two old to put them on. Do you put them on day 1? I may have some LITTLE ones - that would be more reasonable to try on first day of life. I already took the eggs out of the mesh bags... If I can find the little zip ties, maybe I'll try to get them back into the bags before someone pips. (Poor eggies - I will have had the hatcher open three times tonight now...)

Thanks for the idea! (Off to search for little zip ties...)

I keep a bunch of colors of small zip ties and just record what the colors signify. You can even do left, right, double on a leg and all sorts of other combinations to differentiate individuals in even large hatches. It just makes band changes time consuming if there are lots of them.
I put them on tight enough that they just can't be pulled over the foot. Change them after a week. Then after another week or two. Then each change can be extended an extra week or so.

OK, I found some tiny zip ties - some yellow ones and a solitary clear one. (Which is good because I have 5 OE and 1 NN egg that I'll need to keep apart form the 5 Puppy eggs.) So I opened the hatcher AGAIN, got the eggs back in the bags, and then closed it all back up (hopefully for the last time until I take chicks out.)

...

Bonus!

P
But wouldn't that be really neat if that's how it worked. Just imagine the colors my Swedish flowers would lay!
...

It would.

I want a horse in my kitchen.....

Does it do dishes?

@chaos When you asked about touching showgirls..I know the answer..

40 some years ago I tried to take a feather as a souvenir from my front row seat at the "show"...... They never let me finish the show, some giants asked me to step outside.....then locked the door on me.

I seem to remember being ejected from a two or three places in the past.
I once found myself being thrown into the street for being loud. From a club with a nefarious reputation IN CAHOKIA ILLINOIS! I guess I was disturbing the mafia negotiations.

One week till hatch day....

4 days, 20 hours for me. Then Feb 7 for the next batch.

...

Thanks Paddler, what type comb does a polish have? I certainly have roo issues. I googled and it says duplex lol wtheck
...

It's a small V comb.

@ChickenCanoe I found a use for a barn cat

Last night I went to retrieve my covered feed carrier(old litter container) that I use to take out food in the rain. I left it just inside the coop door the night before without thinking. Well, the chickens had knocked it over. I picked it up and there was a mouse. I walked out, called Dart, and tipped the bucket. She had it faster than the time I dumped a mouse in a container in front of a group of free-ranging hens (though they were more brutal).
End of mouse.
I tried not having one time, and got over run by mice.

A stairway to heaven is repeatable, never sleeps and don't kill native songbirds.
I had mice building nests in various parts of my garden tractor.
I put one between the front and back wheel and covered the whole thing with a tarp. There were 5 mice in it in the morning.

And this one by a guy that is much more fastidious. Watch from the 3:00 mark.

I would never eat it because I am a huge horse lover. I have cows, but they are not the same and I eat them.

I get it. I love chickens but they still taste good.

I know that dear Dax! I am just teasing you!
I don't eat horse because a religious reasons, but in my eyes as a biologist there is no difference between animals!
I would try to eat them all(as long as they are not indengerd species) if it wasn't forbidden by my religious.

Once they're cooked, they're meat.

I applaud your understanding of even the way words are used as expressions in English.

Idioms are very difficult from one language to another.

...

Doctors still not coming up with a diagnosis after a month is flat out unforgivable ...

That was my thought.

Yes they are weird, but the extra wide and wide tree are interchangeable and fit my wide shouldered Peruvian Paso horses. I wish they had the XL.

Dover Saddlery actually had a sales representative say she would check, but I have not heard yet.

i used to ride with a dover rep, he also designs eventing courses

i might be able to contact him but i dont think he cared for me much

I don't think they distribute weight very well. I have not ridden one so I don't know how they feel. I have ridden the Pro stock and like it except for the polleys being too close for me. I will solve this eventually. I only contacted Dover two days ago. They may come through.
