OK, now comes another unknown. My GF isn't keeping a thermometer in the brooder, just watching the chicks to see how they are doing under the light. In this case, would it be better to wait to introduce them until all the temps are close to the same?

Bring the water to boil. lower the eggs into the water. Keep water boiling for 15 minutes. Art the end of 15 minutes pour water out add COLD water and ICE. let set in cold water for a few minutes. Peel and enjoy! ! !OK, (I'm goinna be kicked outta the Husband's Union for this) I can bake a cake from scratch, make a pie from scratch including the crust, bake bread, including rye and pumpernickle. I don't cook goumet food but I do cook hardy stuff. I also love ethnic dishes and regional dishes.

Can anybody tell me how to do this successfully and consistently? (I really hate green yolks)

[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Warning This is one of the more dangerous rattlers, capable of delivering a fatal bite. When disturbed it usually stands its ground, lifts its head well above its coils, and sounds a buzzing warning. Take heed! Rattlesnakes, Copperheads, and Cottonmouths belong to a group of snakes known as pit vipers. These dangerous snakes have a heat-sensitive sensory organ on each side of the head that enables them to locate warm-blooded prey and strike accurately, even in the dark. The curved, hollow fangs are normally folded back along the jaw. When a pit viper strikes, the fangs rapidly swing forward and fill with venom as the mouth opens. The venom is a complex mixture of proteins that acts primarily on a victim's blood tissue. If you hear a rattlesnake shaking its rattle, back away. The snake is issuing a warning, and if the warning is ignored it may bite. There are many factors (temperature being the most important) that determine how a snake will react when confronted by a human. Venomous snakes should always be observed from a safe distance. Pit vipers are never safe to handle. Even dead ones can retain some neurological reflexes, and "road kills" have been known to bite. How to avoid and treat snakebites

the only animal I have "sheared" have been my three toy poodles. When I go to fairs, it is fun to watch the sheep being sheared. They use head stocks to hold them while the shave them. Vickie et al Kelso, WaFrom Anthony at Bradley Farms in Tacoma - Anyone willing or able to take him up on this? I can't find his phone number but his facebook page is:https://www.facebook.com/thebradleyfarm Shearing help! I have 2 Jacob sheep that are in desperate need of shearing! If any of you know how to shear or know of someone who does, we would like to offer you the wool in exchange for some shearing lessons. This picture was taken last summer, so they are substantially more woolly now!
