ditto.

It just makes it hard if someone posts and you ask a question(in general, on ANY thread) and they don't respond. I inquired about something, didn't get an answer and when I asked again the person just ducked out without answering at all

I was sincerely interested since it was a breed I am working with........

I'll put $100.00 in a SLB pot. I'm serious. Whoever hatches them needs to have a really good incubator!

How would it work? I might be interested too

if you'll have me

 

[Brindlebtch]

I'm sure we will.

Order of priority in order of significant monetary support offers.

Nava, if you need to, you can keep all of MY donation toward a fine incubator, in case you don't need it all for the eggs.

Well, it reads 100.2, I set it there because my brinsea spot reads 99.9. I will be calling them tho, I can't seem to calibrate it to where 99.9 is really 99.9. It seems to be okay if I set it to the wrong temp so that the spotcheck gets the right temp. And the spotcheck has a new battery.

It's all okay for now, thanks

I was called in to work tonight

Bummer

Okay, I'm in, $100 for the pot.

I've gotten my hands slapped a few times. Most of those times, there was a misunderstanding about motives meaning that the person I commented to knew I was joking or whatnot, but to some others it looked like I was flaming. Oh well. Life goes on.

Too bad about freezer camp, too bad he can't come to camp seminole for behavior modification.

I didn't do the behavior modification. I think the duck is gonna handle it for me. I put the babies in the big pen but still in their brooder for a couple days so the old roo and the duck could get used to them. Then yesterday I let them out. Well, Little Meanness went straight for the duck and had him backed in a corner. Crazy, cause the duck is way bigger than that little roo. Anyway, the duck was terrified, for about two or three minutes. And then he'd had enough. Bit the daylights out of him. He sqwaked and came running. I wasn't in the pen, so I couldn't pick him up, but I watched. He got beaten around a bit then they left him alone. And he went back for more!!! He'll figure it out. The big roo finally had enough of the little roo running around and acting like that and put him in his place.

Today, they seemed to have established an order, and he's no longer the head roo at all. (Seriously, at this age could he already have been head roo??) Today, he was calm and docile and much more normal. So hopefully, this is going to help. I am also picking him up and carrying him. Until today, all that had gotten me was some extra efforts at biting. I've read that if you do that it helps them to see you as the dominant one. Not sure, but I'm hoping it works.

What do you do for behavior modification? It's gotta happen soon, because I have small children around and we can't have him acting like that around them. And since we let them out to range some, it could be dangerous for the kids if he continues this aggressiveness. He's just worrying me because he's the worst I've seen.

I have a question. When you guys are working on a specific breed, or a project bird, how many hens and roos do you keep?

And another question. Imelda is now 7 days old. Her toes are still very crooked, but not bent under. Pretty much at right angles so she looks pigeon toed. But, she gets around just fine, albeit a bit oddly. Her legs and feet are straight now, it's just her toes. I've had her taped for week on her feet with no results. I am NOT going to cull her. I can't. But will she be able to get around as an adult? And could this be hereditary so that I should not breed her? Or was this most likely an incubation/hatching issue? Do y'all breed chicks born with leg/feet probs?

On keeping how many hens...and roos...depends on how many look closer to what you are wanting by either type or color....

I, personally, would wait to see how she turns out. (what breed is she) Don't think I'd use any with problems in a breeding program...don't want to go backwards instead of forward...this is just my opinion...and I am sure others will chime in lol
