I use a digital gram scale. It's very small & I keep it in my incubating supply bin. I cut out one little egg holder from a foam egg carton & use it to keep blunt end up while weighing.
Why does it need to be up and down? I just want to know if what size my eggs are. What brand did you get? There is one that can also be used in the incubator for measuring humidity.
I started with Silver Fox because they are pretty meaty, grow well and have a nice pelt but all 3 does have died. Honestly, I think I got bad stock from a "reputable" breeder. I just bought 2 New Zealand white does and will be breeding them the first of Sept. My best doe is a New Zealand/California/Flemish mix meat mutt. But her first litter was 8 and all lived, second was 11 and they are about 3 weeks old now. I got another buck that is similar to her but not related that I will be using in the future.
Not yet. They are about 18 weeks old. I'm planning on processing the drakes this weekend. And I've started mixing in a little layer pellets to the feed. They should start in a couple of weeks.
I use a digital kitchen scale from Walmarts. Measures in grams, kilograms, ounces and pounds. I think it will go up to over 5 pounds. I use it for eggs, quail eggs, quail, chicks, mushrooms, etc.
Very nice! Looking good!
