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

[Lazy Farmer]

Ugh, gross, just bought these pigs, their place was gross to say the least

My thoughts were 3 days of wazine @ 1 oz wazine per gallon water then in 10 days do it again

wazine is worthless. Ivermectin should be used. It attacts all aspects of parasites/worms. wazine is not broad spectrum.
1 cc per 100# body weight. Inject behind the soft tissue of the ear.
OR oral. You can ball up a slice of bread and squirt it into the center of the bread ball. But you will have to be certain that they don't take them away from each other. Feed separately if possible.
I assume these are feeder pigs for human consumption. I would not use wazine on feeder pigs.

​

Also don't inject anything into muscle of feeder pigs.
Ivermectin is the way to go.
How old are the pigs?

 

[Lazy Farmer]

I've not a clue. I know two things about pigs/hogs: they taste good, & I wouldn't own one on a bet.

Did you try to teach 35 teenagers cooped in one room and suffering from "smartphone" deprivation?

 

[Lazy Farmer]

Good for you! It's no wonder America's educational system has been sliding southward in the world rankings for so many generations.

They are "dumbing down" the population.
Ask anybody who the fifth President of the U.S. was?
and .

But if you ask anyone who was on American Idol last night?
Winner winner Chicken dinner.

What are the 4 basic food groups?

1. pizza
2. tacos
3. burgers
4. chicken fingers

The world is starving while we are clogging the drive thru's and putting corn in our fuel tanks.

I hear this story every day from clients. Fortunately I’m not on the stressful side of it. Just the inspection side which is stressful enough for me. I know it’s no help but it will be here quickly.
Have you picked a chicken breed yet, or just going to wait and see?

wait and see for now, might do a breed or maybe just egglayer mutts, not sure just yet

I don't envy you; I hate the thought of moving 50 years of things we've accumulated. Besides, it'll give the kids something to do when we're gone & they're cussing us for keeping it all in the first place.

You moving far?

I have been here about 12 years and my husband almost 20, we are moving about 3 miles away

Same exact thing happened to me. Problem was, the kids over there weren't real good about doing their homework.

I of heard of kids like that.

Looks lovely

 

[mlm Mike]

nephew is required to have an internet connection and device to receive assignments. Poor kids have to go to the public library and use the pc's for that reason.

Sorry I've been missing

Very busy at work, currently chickenless, 3 male ducks, 1 female duckling and ~10 quail

I got 5 pigs yesterday, they have worms

Wazine will work for those, correct?

What happened to the chickens? I hope not another bear.

I used to have an old fashioned mower. I miss it sometimes.

I still have and old fashioned lawn mower. Haven't used it down here. I got it for a small flat Cleveland lot.
