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

Okay, here’s the deal. This is so important, I will take advice from anyone. Yup! I’m desperate.
I really had no intention of definitely getting a rabbit. I just didn’t want to get the urge, and be oblivious to what was necessary.
I called a pet store to see what they had available for rabbits (like hay bales). I was put on hold, and given the number of a woman a few doors down from the pet shop.
She and her college (in a dorm) daughter picked up two bunnies from a big chain pet shop. They were the only two rabbits there. 3-month-old female Lion lops. A few days later, the daughter thought that she saw male genitalia on one. They brought the rabbits to a neighbor, and it was declared they were both males, and more like five or six months old.
The two boys are in a small cage, and rarely get out an hour a day. While being unfixed, potty training is a little more difficult, the owners didn’t even know they could be trained (I can handle that).
Having both boys neutered will cost around $400. Other than that, there really is no major expense at this time.
Should I adopt these boys? They are free, and come with pellets and Timothy hay. I have a big enough cage, the litter needed, chew toys (rabbits love the sticks from apple trees!) as well as a box for hiding, litter and bedding.
Get them. You want them and probably need them. You don't need to neuter them if both males and certainly not for that $$$. Total rip off.
It literally takes about 10 minutes to do properly.

And let's face it, untrained farmers hands castrate piglets daily, and they make it without even being sutured up.

But mad cow disease was not meant to be transmissible to humans either.
I would not be taking any chances.
hmmm wonder if there is any way to check a deer after shot since its such a long incubation and no signs, perhaps internal things we could check? Hi Phage!
 
this was my 3rd go with quail..and the best hatch rate yet.. I feel like my incubation process has improved greatly over the last 2 years. I may be getting ready to get serious about the chickens that I keep on purpose.... now to decide on what I really want.
Good luck with those decisions! I wish I would have started out knowing I was going to breed, I would have made one long pen and long runs in front so I could do trios in pens :) would have had room for that if I hadnt done covered it the way i did!

If you are going to spend that cash for neuter may as well get pedigree ones!! but I am all about my animals bringing me back some cash, but I am a poor girl :( Even goose has a purpose here, eggs lol. I think my just for pets days are over, knowing how much money I spent on them etc. even if you would breed pedigree bunnies and give them away to 4H kids would be cool. and making them useful.... just sayin...
