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

[BantyChooks]

That’s what I’m afraid of! Lockdown has me terrified! I’ve never heard of CAM issues though, what’s that?

Chorio-allantoic membrane. Didn't develop completely at the bottom (can be shipping, can be turning ) and they ran out if room.

Yes!

Killed three of them yesterday. It is the best way so fare.

It is a flexible pipe cutter:

Great. I was wondering, what's the largest bird you've processed with those? I have a massive Australorp to kill and I am doubtful as to whether that will fit over his neck.

Had to go get a macho man body wash bottle for tarzan. He stills smells like the pig piles 30 hours later.
gee buss. I should have bought a can of car wash.

It opens up quite a bit.
Head on over to home depot and take a look at it.

I think it is Beer can that uses them. He has big old naked necks I think too.

I got a bit close to the head on one and cut through the skull. They will work fine on the Australorp

Thanks. I don't know if they stock that brand up here but I'll check anyway.

Did you have to do any sharpening?

No sharpening!
The cockerel was instantly dead too. Did not move at all

Interesting... I wonder if cutting thru skull might be better, if it hits brain.

 

[BantyChooks]

Thanks for re-instilling my confidence. I'll look the next time I'm by there.

Also... Did you need to close the tool with both hands? I'm wondering if I ought to try it on an already dead bird first to make sure I know how much strength is needed.

I used one hand and one quick squeeze. I get close to the skull and put blade at the back of the neck.

I was skeptical at first too but it has worked great each time I have used it.
