Inquiring minds want to know. We need to know how & why things work; it's in our DNA  

And yet, you still have not figured out the toilet paper roll, or the toilet seat!

Good morning all of you!

Just how do you manage to amuse yourself while you're waiting for the western world to wake up?

I live!

I might have to give that a shot, some day 

It a good way to pass the time on this planet!

I had pretty low humidity at start but a power outage on day 19 caused eggs to get to 70 degrees I was just hoping they might have made it but I don't think they did all 4 were moving allought when I candle at lock down

Then don't give up hope.

Well, I got all seven processed in about 2-2.5 hours or so (skinning). Cried with each one - but was grateful that I've done this enough now to make each a very clean death. The worst part was finding this inside one of them - she would have laid her first egg today.



The other CL (eight pullet) did survive the night and went back to the coop to look for the rest, so I caught her and closed the book on this whole thing.

I got my weekly weights on the others, now I'm back inside having more coffee, and crying again.

I've culled before, a number of times. And I am at peace with the reasons I had for culling these pullets. I just wish I didn't feel like such a monster.

Supposedly, the lower animals don't have the ability to reason, to contemplate something they've never experienced; they simply cease to exist. Makes it a bit easier when we take their existence from them.

It is hard, but sometimes we should take a hard decisio now to avoid much harder one in the future!
