.... i know this is gunna sound bad but don't try to gas them with helium. If you want to gas them use co2. long story but helium asphyxiation is nasty. If you want the truth a sharp knock to the back of the head is instant as it disconnects the brain from the spinal column. They never know what happened.


PS: My wifes the same way, I have to be the one to deal with putting anything down. Especially her animals.

We use a pair of sharp scissors and take the head off, they bleed out and if you have barn cats, they will love it.

My fault, sorry! LOL We're going to try to rehome them before I do anything.

Yaay, lockdown day! I'm one day behind you all, but I'll still lock down because Seramas are known to hatch early ;P Or maybe I'll wait until tomorrow as I'm dead tired, been clearing brush and getting started on my second coop. Another friend is giving me more wood, so I'm really happy, but I think I'm pooped out for the day. Last reserves will be going to pick up the wood, LOL.

I'm locking mine down. 5 eggs set, 5 eggs still growing, and hopefully 5 baby chicks.

Sorry Anne Marie...

 

[Marthab1953]

Well it looks like I might have eggs for lockdown 6 Araucana 6 Orpington 1 Cochin
and that is questionable as some are hard to see through the shells.

Hope everyone has a good hatchj!

hatchies

The person I got my eggs from wrote their roo's name on them, so it's going to be a challenge, but I'm going to try to mark each chick so I know which egg they hatched from, LOL. I'm hoping fingernail polish on a toe will not harm them, and will last until I can tag them in a week or so?? (I plan on using black or blue)
