Hi guys......long day today. Hope you all had a good one.

Hey, Luv. I had a pretty good day. Despite being long, did you at least have a productive day?

The blade has a black oxide coating. It may be going back. I had hoped that being an actual department with ... Doesn't matter. I wasn't thinking. I trusted the guy in this case, and I am now realizing it was a mistake. I will keep the knife in the package until I find a more suitable tool. I will then return this knife. Until then, I want to keep it around in case I need it before finding a replacement.
With my last flock, I kept the net in the coop. Too often I wished that it was in the house. I think this time around, I will keep it in the house. I might need it to round up at a certain Duckling!
I know better than to trust anyone about the animals they sell.

I use a knife made by Mora for gutting deer. Bought it on either eBay or Amazon for under $20. Has a full tang, rubberized handle and is made from Carbon Steel so it's easy to put an edge and keep it.

Okay. So, I should buy fifty knives, and ditch the one I bought for $40.

Of course. This is the one I have. I believe it's a 4 inch blade.

Not exactly. You should buy 30 knives, sharpen them all and sharpen the one you bought for $40.

You can't rely on one knife is what I'm trying to say.

I've never run out of ovates before but apparently I have because the box is greyed out.


All 4 of the other eggs due today have pips of various sizes. I feel bad for the wrong ender because it was from the best egg and I put it in a plastic container for pedigree.
The worst part is that I have 3 more due tomorrow (stupid, I know).
Hopefully the new pippers will get far enough along that I can pull this one out before the other 3 pip.

Have several or sharpen as you go.

Hi everyone.

Three out of thirteen out so far. But it's very hot out so little worried.

I went to the high end, high priced Cutco Cutlery store in a ritzy part of town thinking I would get the tool I needed.
The knife I bought wouldn't slice butter. I bought another and it was bad.
I brought both back and raised hell. They sent the knives back to the headquarters to be sharpened. When I got them back, they were as sharp as razors. Those on the store shelf were worthless as chicken processing tools.
They are stainless which are extremely difficult to sharpen.

Best place to get a knife is ask a butcher or some that works in a slaughter house. All they do all day is cut meat. They have the best knifes.
