The Welsummer Thread!!!!

[Happy Chooks]

I tested fertility before sending eggs out to customers. I set 12 welsummer eggs and all 12 are developing. (hatch on the 22nd) Can't beat that!

Happy Chooks, what are you going to do with all those lovies? Box them up and send them to me LOL!

I'm going to select the best pullets for my breeding coop. The "culls" will be sold to pet homes for layers of dark eggs. (already have someone wanting 2 pullets) The boys, well, they'll add to the freezer.

I have never shipped babies, but if you ever want eggs, I'd be happy to send you some. (after my waiting list is taken care of LOL)

This business of using other people's photos has been a problem for quite a while. This is why many people put "watermarks" on their photos so unethical people can't 'steal' them.

I have been seeing an increasingly regularity of photos that have the watermarks. I am getting ready to take pics of my four breeds from Day Old thru one-year and post them on my website. I have also often posted pics on BYC (see Elvis & Martha in previous posts) without a watermark on them.

Can somebody please tell me how this is done so I can do so in the future?

God Bless,

there are a few ways. first, check your camera. if it's newer, it may mark the photo for you. it may do this in two ways: a) the obvious stamp on the photo, or b) it will assign your info in the exif data of the photo (recommended).

if your camera doesn't do this, or you do not know how to do this, you can add your stamp on the photo easily. if you're using a mac, this can be done with iphoto or aperture. if you're using a windows machine, it can be done using almost any photo editor.

finally, if you upload your photos to flickr, they have an editor that will allow you add the stamp.


all of that rambling out of the way, what camera are you using? then, what computer are you using? and, what software are you using on that computer?

okay, this is interesting, I have always thought about trying to do this. We have a Canon EOS Rebel T2i so how would I go about finding hoe to add the mark? We run windows based computers with Paint Shop Pro 7 as our photo software. Any insight would be great.

you can add your copyright info to the exif data with the t2i. it should be in the "custom function" menu. it will allow you to add your name and other copyright info. this allows anyone who can view the exif data to know you are the owner. the end.

as far as stamping, here's a youtube video:
