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

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

Buchering cons?

list of dead birds and live birds

Yes I understood that, but did you know what happened? I read that it was some predator. .... sorry for them....

Yes, it is a common knowledge that lambs stuffed with Marijuana can cure a lot of things!

UPDATE:
The tiny piglet appears to be a runt that had struggled to compete for teet time by the more aggressive teet mates. No external injuries apparent. The Goat's milk has her on her feet and she is a pistol! Gotta still nurse her for a few days. Gave her an iron shot and vitamin B as well
The mother sow is our oldest. AND one of the largest.
She is over 550# and has become a risk of fatality to the offspring because of her size/weight & clumbsey -

ness.
Our younger Sows are growth stunted now at approx. 400-ish # on purpose for safer mommy time..Almost zero fatalities.
My biggest girl is my only Pure Berkshire Breed Female. They bring in the cash w/that breed. We are entertaining the thought of keeping 1 or two of this litter for replacement but we would have the need for purchasing a fresh bloodline boar. Pigs are different than Poultry. Daddy and Daughter = birth defects.
Anyway.. enough finger pecking.. how's about some eye candy?
