"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

I've heard similar things...never tried it! My grandma says she hatches the most hens in winter and more cocks in spring hatches (shes the epitome of old wives and swears by her tales :gig ) in reptiles (a close relative of birds) male/female ratios are partially effected by temperatures during incubation (not 100% but significantly higher in one vs the other with temperature spikes or drops and such, I think about that when someone mentions they hatched all roos! ) lol.
COOL!  Thanks Prim!!!   It is definitely an EWIE area!!!


So, no one answered my questions earlier... I am really interested:  if the egg is pointy on one end it is a Rooster inside, if it is more rounded it is a hen inside???  Ever been found true?
 
Looking for advise. Raccoon attack in the middle of the day. Rooster fought it and now has a giant slash in his foot from the top of the toes all the way to the ankle. I soaked the foot in honey water for about 15 min and put band aids on it to keep the skin flap in place. It is still bleeding a little but not nearly as much as before. His comb is still bright red. He won't go back out until he is fully healed so no worries about pecking. Ligaments are still good as he is still trying to walk around as if nothing had happened. All other injuries are small and non punctured. Anything else I should or could do to help him?
Poor guy!! Hope he gets better quick. Glad that he's a good protector.
 
Sounds like you did great...I'd still keep an eye on it but takes a few days to seal that wound being on the foot and all. The ends of the "flap" may dry and fall off when healing but I'd think with your treatment and separating him for a bit he will be ready for his girls in a week or so, hoping for a fast recovery :)
