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

[Akrnaf2]

@Akrnaf2Shalom
September prices were the lowest of the year at our local auction. Feeder Lambs between 32 and 58 lb went for $2.15 a pound. Slaughter Lambs buzzwole in hair between 65 and 128 lbs went for a $1.70 a pound.

What?! If I was there I would buy one every week! This prices are ridiculous! Do you have grass fed lambs?

I'm making a list of butchering supplies... What have I missed?

PVC cutters
Poultry shears
Nice sharp knife
Heat source/pot
2 tables
Hose that hasn't been in the duck pool/gallon jugs filled by rugrats (mwhahaha)
Cooler filled with ice and water

Bandana for holding back your hair, another to keep anything gross out of your mouth/jic a smell hits too strong. At least one to wipe your hands before scratching your head.

You all remember the box trap from the cartoons? A piece of cheese under a box, and a string tied to a stick propping it up?
Well, my trap wasn't much different. I almost caught the last rooster numerous times. The final attempt was tying a rope to the door, and hiding behind the side of the building. He saw me, and backed away from the door. I gave up. It's raining anyway. Building the new run wasn't working out either. I will succeed one of these days.
