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

[daxigait]

We got my son a high end hand made chef's knife for Christmas last year. It was about $200. Add the leather sheath and big leather strop and diamond dust and that added another $150. Ouch.

Wow. Yeah, ouch

That sounds good, but I kind of have a hankering for some good butterfly steaks.

I know where there's plenty of 'em, but you gotta come get 'em.

While that sounds great, I can't afford to ship them or me that far.

I really like him I can say about your breed he doesn't like me much, but he does his job really well he's not hard on the hands and I get fantastic colors I really dark Browns and Olive Eggers from him.

I'm glad you like him. He may spy you with a suspicious eye but he won't attack. He's just not that into you. Do you let them all out to range? That's where he will really come into his own.
I have a couple mature roosters I'm about to butcher, replace them with some younger cocks and decide which of about 25 cockerels I'll be keeping and which I will be eating.

Wow. Yeah, ouch

It is pretty high end stuff that made me sweat looking at the price tags. It will last him his whole life.
If you do good work and price accordingly, someone eventually will buy from you.
This is a street of small shops in Maplewood. The knife maker is a couple doors down from the leather shop.
I believe the knife crafter makes them out of railroad rails.
We made an anvil out of a RR rail once.

Yes, I let him and his girls out all the time and he's never lost one. He does great he just thinks I'm the boogeyman I might grab him know.

The only time I touch any of my birds is when I pluck them off the roost after dark.
Otherwise I let them all roam all day to do their thing.
Quite the symbiotic relationship.

I usually only grab them when they don't make it inside and I have to put them inside. If he doesn't go in and he's sitting outside on the pole in the run have to. Unfortunately, that's translated to all my gosh she might grab me anytime.

It is, & relaxing, soothing, satisfying...however you want to express it. I never tried making my own patterns; don't draw that well. I've combined elements of different patterns to make up my "own" patterns, though. Shortly after I started, I tooled the front panel insert of a briefcase with such a pattern. The finished product showed a bird-hunting scene, with a Ringneck Pheasant flushing in front of a pointing bird dog, & a hunter about to shoot the pheasant. It was rather rough compared to the quality of workmanship I was able obtain later, but I was proud enough of it to carry it for many years before the latches broke. I always wanted to redo the front, but somehow never did.

Sounds awesome. Any examples (pictures) of your work?

Exactly, I HAVE to learn constantly if not I feel That I am degenerating.

We are all degenerating as soon as we hit 18......
