Myth Busters, BYC style

[MillersFarm]

To make it easy you could just have a 50lb bag for each batch of chicks and then weight it at the end of the experiment or see how much is still left in one bag when the other runs out instead of keeping track of daily rations.

That does make it easier, See how much each group consumes.. Great suggestions~!

I got a whole bunch of myths to bust if you're interested.

some of the states npip require the eggs to be washed before they go in sanitized incubators..

I would think if you put washed and unwashed eggs in the same incubator there would be cross contamination.

But, how else would you get results to compare ? If you put them in different incubators, they will be incubating in varying conditions , even if you have 2 identical incubators.

Its ok, i am retired. i just play in the garden , hug my animals, build stuff and go to MD appointments.
Go ahead, no limit on ideas. We are taking volunteers to help with implementing the experiments too.

Thanks Misty! Just keep track of ideas to bust for now. I was going to suggest a card for each myth. Then ideas how to implement the bust and what would be needed in the way of supplies and animals.

well most incubators have hot and cold spots so even in the same incubator conditions are different.
