I like oysters, would like to try snails, are locusts like grasshoppers, if so i have had one of those freezedried and covered in chocolate

I like oysters too, fried or fresh on the half shell with a dab of some very hot horseradish.

Thank you everyone!

The ones that survived were 2 weeks old, the ones that died were 1 week old. Born 4/16 - 4/18. No lights in the coop, just their heat plate. I don't think I had it low enough for the little babies. They had a smaller heat plate in the inside brooder. I do have a heat lamp I was going to run inside the whole coop - I had cleaned and moved the heat plate away from the Easter hatch. They were not using it anymore,so I thought the warmer room would help. But the only power in the coop so far is from a REALLY long power cord, with a 3 way plug on the end. That is being used for the 3 heat plates. I thought they would be warm enough with just each other (33 of them) and the heat plate, but sadly I was wrong.

Yeah, as good as the heat plates are, there are definitely issues with the height. I find I have to raise them every 2 or 3 days. Multi age chicks can't use them unless the environment is warm.

Belive it or not there are some locust spices that we can eat!

It's all biblical or Torah.

I was talking about earthworms but I wonder about both.

My dad, sister and I had an earthworm farm. For human consumption, you had to put them on a bed of cornmeal to clean them out.

What about dog? Would you eat one?

In some countries they have a special breed of dog for human consumption.

My coop fairy is an animal lover but has eaten dog, cat and guinea pig.

Ok so here is a list of foods that we have been talking about if you had no choice what would you not eat?
Balut
Snail
Cricket
Grasshopper
Locust
Earthworms
Mealworms
Oyster?

Even though they're bottom feeders, I'd do the snails and oysters first, just cause I already have.

You have a few choices...

1) Leave her alone and wait for her to come off the nest.
2) Fire up the incubator and put all of the eggs in it.
3) Fire up the incubator and put the one cracked egg in it.
4) Keep bugging her and end up with her leaving the nest or squishing more eggs.

I vote for #1

He is not allowed to incubate any more.

They still have not started zipping

28 day ducks take longer than chickens, Muscovy ducks take longer than 28 day ducks!

How can you see that under the hen or goose?

He is not allowed to incubate any more.

For good reason. He sits by the broody hens and disturbs them constantly.

Parents would probably rather he find something productive to do than sit and watch eggs all day - which, I might add, is neither productive nor necessary.

My version of Balut. They were fertilized eggs. Lol
