broilers

  • bw=[.4,1.01,1.99,3.28,4.78,6.36, 7.93, 9.41, 10.76]; % male bird weight
  • fw=[.36, 1.11, 2.48, 4.54, 7.24, 10.49, 14.13, 18.03, 22.05];  % feed weight
  • cost = 5+2.15+fw*14.5/50; cost_per_mount = cost'./(bw'*.85); % $5 for processing $2.5 for bird, $14.5/50 lbs

hatches

mother royal palm

  • 4-8-15 - brown and yellow
  • 4-16-15? yellow (about 9 days to follow RP without trouble)
  • 4-25-15 : black beauty Meg and I hatched at 8pm, but in the morning was in the water.


artificial incubation

  • 4-17-15 - started JC eggs (12), ~6 of YM, and ~19 turkeys
  • 4-25-15 - checked, 100% developing! But butterfingers dropped two.
  • 4-28-15 - started 18 JC eggs

expected hatch dates

  • 5-8-15 ~15 chickens
  • 5-15-15 ~19 turkeys

natural incubation

What a mess - total chaos. Two turkeys (bronze, RPbaby) sharing a nest. Add a 2nd nest and now they're switching nests. Will move 1 nest to inside RP pen at night. Might well let them be started in their hatching home.

Estimate they actually started incubation around 4-22-15. (They'd been sitting on the eggs at night, but then would leave nest during the day.)

  • 4-26-15 : Marked turkeys eggs with X, those from nest 2 with X and O
