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

So is it the next one where you learn AI? I think that's what you mentioned??

No, it was a lecture and hands on AI the night before the show. It was very interesting. I don't have the equipment or need yet, but that time is coming soon.

Good job, but yes, bucks not listening happens, especially this time of year.

Too true, but he was being very stupid and not even wanting to walk. A buck that you have to drag forward does not show well even in a buck in rut tolerant show.
I have been searching Craigslist and researching bloodlines any time someone in the for state area lists a registered doe. You see Copper hill was famous for their udders, but she got too old and dispersed her heard about eight years ago. I have been watching in the hopes of getting a hold of some of her stock that was 'lost'. Well, last week I found two gold mines!
I found a generation removed Copper Hill doe that I will post pictures of when I pick her up this weekend.
I also found a line bred Cozy Creek Playlike Tory doeling. Tory took fourth in the nation her first year. The sire won two legs of his three championship legs his first two shows, but the lady quit showing before taking him to a third show to finish him
The grand sire is the same as my buck's sire whose dam just took grand National champion at the ADGA national show this year after taking second the previous two years. So I am going to line breed to my boy a line bred doe side champion to the sire producing champions. I am so excited.
Here is my girl. Isn't Merida beautiful?

Sorry I missed you all. I have been to the show, then I traveled down to Florida to learn to be an adjuster shadowing a friend who does it. I can manage the one story houses, and some two the ones I can't I will hire a ladder assist. I am excited for the opportunity. He earned six figures in two weeks after the storm. If I can do a fifth of what he does I would be excited as I start out.
I have been using my extra time to start the courses to get my license.

On a chicken note I sold my blue Ameraucana cock that was too hard on my hens

@Blooie came up with a great idea a while back; calls it a Mama Heating Pad, or MHP. If you contact her, she'll be happy to help you.

Yes, and @Fire Ant Farm posted step by step on making it in the old thread. I think it made it to the notes section too.

Just for the record the genetic similarity between
Humans and Bananas is 60%! Although I have teached students that I am sure that had have 100% similarity to cabbages!

You said it walked straight out the door and fell. "Stupid" was heavily implied there, or retarded---take your pick of insults.

traveled down to Florida

Where in Fl?

Where in Fl?

Far away from you, methinks, because she didn't pass out from the stench

I beg your pardon? I shower morning and night...
