| [10:32:14] | <generalredneck[m> | <skipper_is[m] "But he's been doing it for the l"> We typically dont' cut them out. If you do they almost always have some malformity which is why they were not strong enought to get out of the egg to begin with. It's hard, but to have a strong flock, you sometimes have to let nature take it's course. It's like "the first test at life" which may seem mean... but I've found that ones we save don't last too long. |
| [10:32:20] | <generalredneck[m> | 24 hours isn't out of the norm FYI |
| [10:33:24] | <generalredneck[m> | pipping is the term when they start opening the egg |
| [10:33:39] | <skipper_is[m]> | Yea, I left him going, and at about 9pm, which was about 26h, he broke free |
| [10:33:48] | <generalredneck[m> | WHOOO! |
| [10:34:00] | <skipper_is[m]> | Spent the night in the incubator, and moved him to the heat lamp this morning |
| [10:34:14] | <skipper_is[m]> | Seems to be doing well, and a huge hit with the students |
| [10:34:18] | <generalredneck[m> | yep... you got to keep them at like around 105 for a while after they hatch |
| [10:34:50] | <generalredneck[m> | we hatch most of our flocks. We had 68 hatch last time we did it |
| [10:35:03] | <skipper_is[m]> | Oh wow, o just put 3 eggs in, just to see if it worked |
| [10:35:16] | <generalredneck[m> | You are expected to loose 10% at minimum |
| [10:35:31] | <generalredneck[m> | and then another 10% after hitching |
| [10:35:32] | <skipper_is[m]> | 1 did, 1 was infertile, and one I've seen nothing, so giving a couple of days before I chuck it |
| [10:35:45] | <generalredneck[m> | you can candle it |
| [10:36:09] | <skipper_is[m]> | Yea, candled there is something, only air bubble visible |
| [10:36:12] | <generalredneck[m> | what that means is get in a dark room... take a flashlight and shine it through the egg covering any gaps with your hand |
| [10:36:28] | <skipper_is[m]> | Phone torch seemed to work well |
| [10:36:47] | <generalredneck[m> | yeah... the beauty of technology :P |
| [10:37:13] | <skipper_is[m]> | Indeed :) there is something there, but maybe it died before it had a chance to pip |
| [10:37:40] | <skipper_is[m]> | Got another 3 due Sunday, and another 3 after that, and after that I swear I will never stagger them again |
| [10:37:41] | <generalredneck[m> | that happens too after the first one pips.. they should all be done in about 3 days |
| [10:37:44] | <mstenta[m]> | skipper_is: you said "him" - was it pre-sexed? or are you able to tell? |
| [10:37:54] | <mstenta[m]> | also: YAY! |
| [10:37:55] | <skipper_is[m]> | No idea, I've got to choose something to call it |
| [10:38:00] | <mstenta[m]> | haha |
| [10:38:12] | <skipper_is[m]> | Hopefully it isn't a him, as I need replacements |
| [10:38:42] | <skipper_is[m]> | Though I regret that I did hold the cockerel at gun point the other day because he attacked me... Literally looking down the barrel... |
| [10:38:57] | <skipper_is[m]> | So maybe this little one could be our replacement cock |
| [10:38:58] | <generalredneck[m> | our last batch out of the ones that lived we had 32 roosters and 17 hens |
| [10:39:07] | <skipper_is[m]> | Oh ouch |
| [10:39:09] | <mstenta[m]> | oof |
| [10:39:31] | <generalredneck[m> | needless to say, freezers are full |
| [10:39:38] | <skipper_is[m]> | Hehe |
| [10:40:31] | <generalredneck[m> | which is why I was like... hey the new poultry law for Texas is a good thing :P |
| [10:41:58] | <generalredneck[m> | we forwent hatching this go around and ordered some variety and some other poultry... supposed to get some geese and more ducks in this spring. I can't wait... our old 2 goose hens are like 14 years old :P |
| [10:42:18] | <generalredneck[m> | came with the property |
| [10:42:57] | <generalredneck[m> | figure if an animal has been here longer than we have been... who are we to evict them :P |
| [10:43:07] | <mstenta[m]> | fair enough |
| [10:43:29] | <generalredneck[m> | that and goose eggs are amazing |
| [10:44:06] | <generalredneck[m> | they only lay during the spring.. but one of those things is like 4 or 5 regular chicken eggs |

| [10:47:10] | <mstenta[m]> | that's breakfast for the whole family in one egg! |
| [10:47:18] | <mstenta[m]> | :-) |
| [10:47:40] | <generalredneck[m> | during the spring for about a month and half we get 1 of those ever other day |
| [10:48:16] | <generalredneck[m> | we don't have a male though so... yeah breakfast |
