*** OKIES in the BYC ***

Here is an update on the eggs that were in the incubator I took to the school.
I had two hatches in there about a week apart.
Out of 66 eggs, 57 hatched!
I am pleased that I didn't mess up the hatch by moving the bator.

That's all they are for.

you can keep them going for a bit, but have to limit their food intake and make sure they get out and moving, they are bred to put on weight fast, and from what i have heard you are lucky if they last past 4 months- their hearts can't handle the strain- we have one named tatortot, and am hoping she will have a happy life- sadly it will be short- look up a member named gritstar- she has managed to keep hers up through laying

Actually I think that it is the Hubbard line of meaties that are owned by a pharmacutical company so they must be pretty good layers. They probably use them to produce vaccine. The other main meatie breed is the Cobb.
