I'm doing an experiment. :)

I know the chances are slim, but the scientist in me cannot NOT do it. And, besides that--Kiki hatched balut eggs, didn't she?! And that is kind of a small miracle. So there it is.

I know it's a long shot. But you know I really miss Lafayette, my AC roo. And I've been farting around with the idea of getting another one, unbeknownst to my DH. They are not common, and I would prefer to get a rehomed one for free rather than pay a bufttload for one.

So here's what I'm going to try.

I have all these eggs saved up from the past month or so that I was pulling eggs. They have for the most part been refrigerated. Some were sitting out on the counter a week or so before they went in the fridge.

Although I have 8 breeds of chickens, I am fairly confident which are prolly the AC eggs.

I know chicken sperm can last a couple weeks in the hen, maybe more. I know eggs that have been refrigerated can be hatched. Although a month or more in the fridge, pretty unlikely.

But Lafay was a randy dude, and my AC hens were getting nailed on a pretty daily basis before he took ill. And I would LOVE to have some progeny from him (had I known he was going to die, I would have long ago hatched his chicks). So there is a good chance that there are some fertilized eggs in there.

It will make for a fun experiment, I am really not expecting much (if anything!) to happen. But--I have nothing to lose, do I? It's not like I was going to eat those eggs (oh yeah, and another factor--those hens were dewormed and Corid tx'd).

So. I already plucked out the supposed AC eggs, they are sitting on the kitchen counter for 24 hours, and then? They are going in the bator. And then, I will be having good times daily--in my dark bathroom with a flashlight--candling and sharing results (and hopefully pics!) with you guys.

What do you think? I know it's crazy, but....nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?:fl

I'm 1000000% behind this experiment. Don't think for one hot second when Negan passes I won't be hatching the whole tatering egg bowl.:)

Here you go, DD. :) (Don't hate on the awful haircut and huge bags under the eyes, I was finishing my ortho rotation in vet school, and was very sleep deprived and unstylish.)

See? Success story. At least I was, at one point in time. :)

Eh, still a success story, cuz I'm still alive and here to annoy you all...!

Well ya'll I spent over an hour today sitting with a man with no brain activity and I don't even really know why. I provided what counsel I could but it was strange. This wasn't paid, I was asked and I did. I feel a little bad because I knew this man, same age as myself I actually went to high school with him. Too close to home I suppose. Got to meet the people he spent his last days with...oye vey what a bunch. Anyway I don't have a point just glad it is over, kind of feel terrible saying that. It does remind me why I retired early though. I got me some Sallie snuggles and a big fat shot of Jameson to take the edge off when I got home. I do feel so much better now.:)

It is a good thing that you did!

It would be hard for anyone to do that

Your kind heart. << just one of the reasons I think you are a great person to know.
 
Sable is definitely feeling better!
She's back to running laps and linbackering me in the run!
I am super happy about that.

I passed up the deal of a lifetime today.
OK that MAY be an exaggeration.
Petsmart has a baby guinea pig that was born with half her left ear missing. She is super cute! The store manager offered to let me adopt her no charge!!

I had to pass.
Sable would have been nuts with it squeaking! She takes the squeaky toys away from the other dogs and puts them on my bed.

Yeah, I don't need a guinea pig in my bed.
:rolleyes:
