Eggs for food vs eggs for chicks...sound off please

[cmom]

I'm looking for another nice SC White Leghorn male. My beautiful male gave me beautiful chicks last year. I kept one male as a backup and sold the rest. A fox somehow broke into a pen and killed him. When I put my male in a breeding pen this year with 5 selected females, none of the eggs were fertile and no backup male.

I got my hands on the most beautiful Leghorns, perfect body type etc, but no roo unfortunately.....

Thanx! I am considering ways to coordinate cone and stump together. By chance do you have a pic of the set-up so I know I am understanding it correctly?

Here’s some pictures for you.

Sweet.
Birds head is closer to edge and you chop near center of log?

Ok...newbie here...what is an SC Leghorn as opposed to just a leghorn?

I stand in between the two cones holding the bird off of the stump and grab head and stretch out neck so that head is now stuck in between both nails. Your correct everything is really done at the edge. In this photo zoomed in you can see the chop marks on the otter edge of the nails. I do not hold the bird over the center of the stump. Center of the stump is not really used

I had it backwards.
I would not be comfortable with that small target.
But I love the cones for bleeding out.
