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

[Lazy Farmer]

I have never seen anything like that here in the VWN.

We are a midium size city. They are big time in Orlando, Miami, Tampa,Jax etc..
We are a boom town. Triple populated since I moved here from Ohio in the 70's.

In that case, there probably wouldn't be any within about 2000 clicks of here.

Well... Maybe in Ottawa. Never know, they've certainly got enough people crammed in there.

We use to spray ours with a 50/50 solution of original Listerine/water. Now only select clean eggs and handle with latex gloves and not remove the natural bloom.

They are few and far at the moment. Some of the bigger chains, have LCD monitors on the pumps. They are sat linked and showing weather conditions, sports update and fuel companies tv commercials.
I always pay cash inside but if you swipe your card and intend to only purchase $20 of fuel, if you are glued to the tv, you will over shoot twenty bucks in the blink of an eye.
I have seen tv's in some bathrooms at Walmart now. Americans can't go anywhere without a monitor stuck in their face or hands.
If you are driving down the road right now in rush hour traffic.. click like.

Natural bloom makes sense under a broodie..in an incubator it is just a way to bring in infection,,,,one of which is Mareks..

Mareks exists everywhere and is in the soil,bedding and dander. By using non-sterilized eggs you bring the virus into the incubator. Even the vaccine will not protect a chick hatched in an incubator with Mareks in it, as the vaccine takes 10 days to work,and the chick gets the virus on day one with bloom filled eggs.

Mareks will not kill gem all,but some will die. There are currently 6 mutations of Mareks, so you may lose birds to it without realizing that is the reason...everyone thinks of the original Mareks strain and not the 6 new ones in the last 90 years...

Good bio-security includes a disinfected incubator and eggs.

If you are driving down the road... Why do you have a screen?

In USA, almost everyone is scrolling their phones driving down the roads. Statistically speaking, most auto accidents caused by distracted drivers are caused by Cellular Phones. Smartphones are a compulsive addiction. Most can't live without them.
Bob had his neck fractured in a rear end so called "accident" when a 33 yr old driver slammed him at a red light. The guy admitted he was on Facebook and said Bob slammed on his breaks and made him hit him. Bobby said he was at the light almost a minute, stopped already waiting for green.
Tons and tons of doctor bills. countless dr visits. drugs theropy and all for what? Gotta have that facebook while you are moving and hauling your 3000# machine down the road. 12 years ago. It is even worse now.

Not even close to everyone...only those that want to die or kill someone...or the really stupid...
