Beautiful girls!

All of the above! I vent sexed Beaker and she was girl ... that worked out for me. Then I vent sexed Bunsen and he was a girl.. that didn't work out.. same with Little Eddie.



I think it's Metzer Farms has an EXCELLENT video on how to do it. He even draws a pic. Let me see if I can find it..

I don't trust myself either. I need to mark them and take notes, vent sex them a few days apart and see if I get the same guesses. I can't get anything to pop out on the older ones, but the little ones I think I'm getting a little better at. Still just feels weird, like I'm violating their trust by molesting them or something, like marty said, lol. And the poop.

I worry about harming them, myself. Can it really be worse than taking my horses' temps?

I have a question ..... what the heck do I do with chicken eggs???? when do I turn off the urner? Do I remover the eggs and if I do ... do I stand them up or lay them down.? can I pull some of them 2 days early as trying to make sure I have some hatch while grandkids are here.
