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

Hammer would have been better for all concerned...

'Cept moi, I'd have had an anxiety attack....

Chicky ended up being fine, I was just concerned cos it pipped, waited a while, and then spun w/o zipping. Ended up turning back eventually and hatching fine with no more messing.

The problem is that a lot of us have some perfectionism problem some way or another. IMHO good helper = paying 100% for getting 70% work . this is the minimum that I seeks less than that is unacceptable more is most welcome!

Is it unrealistic to expect a day's work for a day's pay w/o being a perfectionist?
That mindset among the workforce is, IMO, one of the main problems in society today.
I don't recall anyone ever giving me something for nothing.

The tester said it was needed and to make friends with a vet. Maybe because the Louisiana NPIP is basically just p/t? Anything else is not free. He discouraged me from additional testing even though I was willing to pay for it.

Can you become your own tester?


I test my own. I do PT, MG. AI and some Salmonella, The last 4 require swabs or blood samples sent to the lab. I think your tester is either lazy or an idyot.


So many states are requiring AI now and MG is a NPIP requirement but many states are just doing turkeys however I was told that is changing. I just got a ton of dry swabs for MG in my chickens next month, I need to do 30% of my birds if I recall the instructions,

Quote: They expect someone to hand it to them. My BIL got laid off once, back when I worked for IBM. I told him our maintenance crew was always needing more people & he should talk to them. He wanted to know what they paid; I gave him what little info I had. He told me he couldn't afford to work for the figure I'd told him, which was a lot more than he was making right then. Instead, he started drawing unemployment. I was out of work a few times myself; never took the first dime of unemployment!

I hate when the lights are left on,,,,The WWD on the other hand does not know how to turn a light off.

You must understand that a paid stranger WILL never do the work in the same time, and quality that you will do yourself (I am not speaking about a professional work that you don't know how yo do it l am speaking about simple physical labor) they aren't committed as you are.

You'd think that since she has to live around you she'd kill the lights as soon as possible to spare her eyes....

I was not impressed with him for sure. The tester my hona mentor got was way better, from what we've gathered. Not sure what hoops I would have to jump through to be my own tester.
