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

Good morning

No

The "joy of killing" is based on a very primordial instinct of getting and accumulation of food as muchas as it possible for future time, so there is a utilitarian reason to that behavior. Only Humans kill for no realy beneficial reasons.

I have seen them kill, play with it, not eat any of it and then never come back to it.

It doesn't mean that it was made from evil intention!
And it's normally happens with human bred predators
It is very rare that a wild predators kill and don't eat st least part of its pray!
In the beginning of the salmon season the bear consume the all fish, in the middle they go only fir the eggs and gonads and in the end after they have goarage themselves they eat only the brains of the fish.
So does a bear tgat kill a 12 kg salmon just for its brain that weight a few grams, is evil? I don't think so.

I just read that. Having been 60+ years since I took algebra, which I sucked at, anyway, the only symbol I know, and know how to use, is square root.

Using that formula though is the answer is 10.77

No the bear that does that isn't evil, it is surviving. I'm just trying to get you to admit that cats are evil

I'm excited to say 8 of my chicks have hatched so far and I have several that have pipped. I'm so excited for this hatch! My roo is a blue copper marans and these are his first chicks! I incubated a dozen of his eggs. Four are easter egger eggs. The last eight are either barred rock or rir (again the blue copper marans is the sire). Then I am also incubating another dozen that I traded for. Twelve purebred black copper marans eggs. Of my own dozen there are seven that have hatched and several pipped. I think two of my own haven't hatched. Of the dozen that were laid on another farm, only one has hatched. They still have two more days for hatching! Two of the chicks are blue!! The rest are a mix of mostly dark grey with just a haze of brown on the fave of one and the sides of another. Of those last two, one has feathered legs and the other has clean legs. My roo is the French variety, so he has feathered legs. The other 6 chicks are still not fully dry so they're still in the incubator. I'll have to post tomorrow which of those chicks have feathered legs and which don't. I think it's so cool seeing which traits are or are not inherited. So interesting!

Congrats!!!

These are the first two that hatched. They hatched yesterday. They have an Easter Egger mother and blue copper marans father. Are they olive eggers?

so cute and yes! They should be f1 olive eggers, if they were blue/green eggs they came out of

We use a 22 at times as well, but try not to.Hard to find ammo still.
Feral cats are evil! Not had much luck trapping them. More a SSS type thing.

Pesky critters, we don't have them but I understand the problem with ferals if we had them I would try to catch and neuter/spay as many as I could

Found any goat kids you simply can't live without yet?

Lol

Mornin whites!

Nope, for a few reasons. A), my friend doesn't get more 'till next spring. (She raises for resale) B), I'm still doing research on fencing, housing, and care costs.
But I found that goats eat a species of plant that is very invasive and a pain in the behind to remove, so the likelyhood of me getting them in the next year has skyrocketed. e


I may be uncontrollable when it comes to eggs & poultry, but I can wait for expensive or high-commitment things. I fostered dogs for nearly 1/2 year before deciding I was ready for a dog, and I took care of the neighbor's chickens for 3-4 mo before purchasing them. Ditto with rabbits and guinea pigs.

good choice, best to be prepared

Maybe this one!

I squeaked through Algebra 1 & Geometry, somehow. by 10th grade. I went to the teacher after Algebra & asked her which math class I should take next. She told me that given my history in math, & since I had enough math credits to graduate with an academic diploma, (as opposed to a general), I shouldn't take any further math, so I didn't.

I don't want to brag or anything like that but I just might be a tad smarter.

Welcome. That's the sloped side for only half of the truss though.
