Granny's gone and done it again

Did you get everything done you needed to, Larry?

Apparently they did it on chicks three to six weeks old, and went through the rib cage. Without anesthesia. The organs are inside the body, so it's not the same as taking something off the outside like on mammals.

I know all about going through the rib cage. I don't think it can cause any more pain though than going through a weaning age bull calf.

No. Still need to plant more peas and okra. Just get way to hot way to quick during the daylight hours. I have the area tilled and after the freezer camp boys catch their buss in the morning I may can plant tomorrow. Not supposed to get out of the 80's for a change.

The article said thousands died during the learning process. I don't think that's true in bull castration.

I have watched my ag teacher operate on calves. The coat what they have left with stuff that burns.

Indeed. We are eagerly anticipating some cooler, drier days as well.

No it's not. But thousands don't die now and it is hard to even find a capon in the market places. It's not recommended any more with the ability to get large broilers from CxR.

Blue I imagine that a few pullets got the knife with nothing there to remove.

Well good night Larry. Hope you get some good sleep for a change!
