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

[mlm Mike]

Mike, I was looking seriously into trying that method of using a shovel/broomstick, but a friend said it didn't work well at all... So I've crossed that out again. Just dunno.... At this point, I'm thinking loppers looks the best for me and the bird, coz I can't stomach looking the bird in the eye before picking its head up and slitting its throat. I'm still too much of a chicken hugger to do that much just yet, on my own birds anyway.

But then I have to buy loppers special due to my pair being about as good as a butter knife set.

Yeah, I'm great at coming up with excuses as to why I can't kill a chicken.

I would think that you would have to be really committed to using that method, and there could be problems if you didn't fully commit to the yank. Can you sharpen your loopers?

The people I bought my first goats from HAD many unguarded trees in with the goats.

Some folks swear by PVC cutters if you have access to one. I've actually considered it myself, I may try it when I start the processing with all the extra boys this year.

A PC cutter!! I never thought of that! I might have to try them, I have about a dozen pair of them...Of course the reason I have a dozen pairs, if when I want them I can't find them and have to buy another.


I suppose this would be a good excuse to buy another pair...

Time too go close some barn doors.

Certainly don't need bark munchers here.

I want goats so badly, but days like today when I'm not quite up to snuff and have all the chicken chores to do, I am grateful that I haven't fallen prey to goat math yet.

Once I get my chickens down to a more reasonable number, and find a way to deal with their water better, I may have the bandwidth for them. Maybe a couple little ones when I retire?

(Have y'all realized how much this has turned into a goat thread?! Not that I'm complaining - I'm totally loving it!!! There's even my beloved Gooserz, the honorary goat! @Sally Sunshine )

As soon as you change you rmind, I'll have babies for you!
