Okies in the BYC The Original

I always crack the eggs afterward. It's confirms where the chick was in it's development or if it had even started. Candling gives a good guess but actually looking is the best. The worst to see are the ones that are perfect with all the yolk absorbed. I think for me that was caused by having the eggs upside down. Now everything is pointed side down even the eating eggs.

If I were you, I would crack one and see what was going on. Then take it from there.

That's great sooner to bad you were not there to see it. In our youth football league they have weight limits as to who can run the ball. It is 80 pounds for the 3rd graders and 90 for the 4th, it goes up by 10 pounds a class. My boy is 5' 140 pounds and athletic as can be but his feet weigh 80 pounds LOL. Kid wears a men's size 8.5 shoe. He wants to run the ball but it just wont happen in elementry. We line him up at full back and let him plow people on 2 point attempts but that is about as close as he comes to being a running back.

Did he score in a freshman or HS game? Our HS is struggling big time but the gradeschool and JH are doing good.

The standards are absolutely right. If they were to stop dubbing, they should stop calling them "games" and stop showing them altogether.

I don't know what the fuss is. I have a friend that raises some of the best games around and he dubs his with his thumbnail.

TJ's Na-Na :

We're trying to locate and document the Oklahoma Law
that says it's a Federal Offense in Oklahoma to dub game chickens.
But, it is required for APA and ABA in Oklahoma.

Dubbing fowl is not specifically mentioned in any of the Statutes I've looked through. Here's the Animal Cruelty one, interpret as you will.

§21-1685. Cruelty to animals.
Any person who shall willfully or maliciously torture, destroy or kill, or cruelly beat or injure, maim or mutilate any animal in subjugation or captivity, whether wild or tame, and whether belonging to the person or to another, or deprive any such animal of necessary food, drink, shelter, or veterinary care to prevent suffering; or who shall cause, procure or permit any such animal to be so tortured, destroyed or killed, or cruelly beaten or injured, maimed or mutilated, or deprived of necessary food, drink, shelter, or veterinary care to prevent suffering; or who shall willfully set on foot, instigate, engage in, or in any way further any act of cruelty to any animal, or any act tending to produce such cruelty, shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in the State Penitentiary not exceeding five (5) years, or by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding one (1) year, or by a fine not exceeding Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00). Any animal so maltreated or abused shall be considered an abused or neglected animal.
R.L. 1910, § 2746. Amended by Laws 1997, c. 133, § 384, eff. July 1, 1999; Laws 1999, 1st Ex. Sess., c. 5, § 276, eff. July 1, 1999; Laws 2003, c. 363, § 1, eff. July 1, 2003; Laws 2006, c. 188, § 3, eff. Nov. 1, 2006.
NOTE: Laws 1998, 1st Ex. Sess., c. 2, § 23 amended the effective date of Laws 1997, c. 133, § 384 from July 1, 1998, to July 1, 1999.​

Stimp, How does he dub with his thumbnail?
I personally don't have the stomach for dubbing. I shouldn't really have trouble with it being a science teacher, but I can't help it. It would probably be easier if I was an ag teacher

He scored in the freshman game. They do have th HS varsity & the JV teams but this year he is only playing for the Freshman team. He was out at the end of the season last year getting a hernia fixed. Then has some issues over the summer that stopped him from dressing out with the JV or V teams.

I've only seen him do it a couple of times, but it looks like he holds the birds head in his left hand with his thumb on the beak and index and middle finger behind the head. He has a long nail on his right thumb and he just zips it across the top of the head and the comb comes right off, like it was cut with a razor.

I've never even heard one squawk. He dabs some kinda crap on them to stop what little blood there is and they're ready to go. I think it helps that he does it while the birds are very young.

So, I opened the remaining eggs. Only 3 developed at all two were fully developed and didn't finish absorbing the little bit of egg yolk, I wonder what happened to them? One died about 1/2 through or maybe a bit more I think it got killed when the temps spiked. All of the others were just cloudy, stinky yellow. There were 18 eggs she shipped to me 6 were just "extra's" none of those developed. So, I guess I could have had 6 out of 18.

Any idea what could I have done different.

Hmmm...I would think if dubbing were considered animal cruelty, then so would docking tails and cropping ears on some of the dog breeds.

If they died before absorbing all the yolk then it was between day 18 and 20, I believe. Anything weird happen in that time?

Cloudy, stinky yellow? Like rotten egg stinky?
