INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Chaos18]

there are two small blood vessels that bleed slightly. There's a great video somewhere of a couple of somewhat young good ol boys using a Dremel to take their gamebirds spurs down to around 3/4 of an inch in one cut, bleeding is sealed by the heat from the tool, they put him right back down and just keep talking, no muss no fuss.

Interesting.

Thanks- I like clicky things... Didn't realize they could be pulled off!

Yeah- we read about dry hatching the first 18, but, we are basically a desert now here in Southern Cal and my humidity gets down to single digits at times... Over of the BCM thread people are advising 40%+!

Like trimming my nails... A Dremel- too funny

they cut right through the soft part too, apparently spurs don't have nerve endings.

Unfortunately, they never will. There's a world of difference from being banged by sorting machines, tossed into trucks, and bounced around in transport ... and being gently picked out of the nest and crefully set in an incubator. The best you can hope for is to hatch a few shipped eggs, then collect your own eggs The following spring. That's the cold, hard reality of shipped eggs...
