Incubators Anonymous

from what my DH said it is a matter of two small slits in the sides, remove the testies, and stitch it back up. A few weeks to heal and then it is all meat production not male BS.
 
I'm thinking of trying that this next year. I am going to practice on some butchered roos first so I can do it quickly and cleanly. If I get good at it then perhaps I can make capons and when they are healed sell them to someone who wants to grow them out for the gormet (sp?) restaurant business. I am going to be hatching so that could be a good way to market the extra roos. Not many people want to try it.

There are a couple of good videos on YouTube.
i was planning the same thing with a few roos

I have been lamenting that I might not get eggs until spring. I have been so busy getting ready for my daughters visit that I didn't even check the last 4 or 5 days. But this evening I heard one of the girls singing the egg song so I went and looked and this is what I found.



I am so thrilled! Look at the size of these pullet eggs! These guys came from Bev Mellili in Portland TN.

 
Those are some big huge eggs. I think DH may be getting me an incubator and some duck eggs. We will see.

The one closest to you fingers is a double yolker!

After the 25th the foster flock will be leaving (fostered for friends who got caught by the city, the council has passed an ordinance permitting 5 hens with a permit). I should be off Thanksgiving weekend for 4 days and that will be a big culling time, 7 drakes and 5-10 old hens to make more space.
