I have not met a person so far who knows that Hens can lay eggs without Rooster present.

Even old timers I met thought you need Rooster to get eggs from Hens.

 

Whats the point ? Its same type of fact-knowing when it comes to Arms, Guns, 2A history.

First image of a gun is that of an automatic, bullet spraying, havoc causing, killer machine.

Many think Rights are given and that we should be glad that we have some. And that somehow

we all evolved from the revolution time and dont need 2A.

 

The sad part is, these folks dont even make effort to stop, think and realize that eggs

are produced as part of biological process regardless if there is going to be a sperm

to fertilize it. Or that arms are tools necessary for self preservation much like food, water

and shelter.

<--grew up on a farm. Had Chickens. We would buy or borrow a rooster when it was time for more chickens and then he'd go back to a friend or end up on the dinner table.

 

So now you have met one.

 

As to the gun issue, most people just don't care. They're happy to be told what to think about guns and that's the end of their involvement.

That's just poppycock!! (pun intended)

2-I also raised chickens and knew that hens laid eggs without a rooster

You are truly the first one I met who knew.

When it comes to Guns, my observation has been that they do care, but they care from view point of it being "evil".

Chickens in the yard right now laying eggs daily.

 

Now you met three!

<---- Did NOT grow up on a farm. Had chickens in my teen years. Knew this.

 

Had no guns growing up, still knew that the right to keep and bear arms was essential for liberty.

I've always known that, so now you've met another person that knows that.... My grandparents had a farm when I was a kid... and they taught me at a young age on how to take care of the animals and also to harvest them for the dinner table as well. The eggs from the chicken are just part of the normal ovulation process of the hens.

 

As Malsua indicated above... Many people today have just become complacent and don't care about guns... they think that in todays "modern" world that guns aren't necessary. They are so wrong.

you wouldn't get edible eggs if the roosters were present, you would have baby chicks. hence why the light test was invented.

 

You DO need sunlight.

I take Obama's speach about not sticking to the Consitution (what I took from it) as ignoring a Foundation for a working house and using something lesssturdy to put a Glass House on top of it.

I plan on getting myself some chickens this spring. Not a rooster, too noisy. However, after a year of having the chickens at laying age I will bring in a rooster, get myself some new chicks and once they are of egg laying age I will eat the older ones. Gonna get myself some honey bees too.

I knew it

Not just chickens. Had a Sun Conure Parrot and for over 12 years thought SHE was a HE... One day we went in and she laid an egg.

Go figure...

Truer words were never spoken.

I partially knew for sometime.

I knew about the chickens too. Never had chickens .

 

Did not understand about the guns until I owned them though.

I'm sorry, had no choice.

 

ROFL that show NEVER gets old

Just to let you know ANY animal that lays eggs can do so without a male being around. And you can fool most birds in to stop laying eggs by placeing fake eggs into the enclosure.

Now that I did not know.

Yup, people forget many reptiles lay eggs too

Coming from the boa guy... Lol must be nice not to have to set the incubator up every year with a dedicated $300 herpstat...

incubator? whats that.....lol trust me i know used to breed beardeds, kings, corns, milks and lepoad geckos as well i know all about seting up and maintaining a incubator

you mean.... all reptiles lay eggs....lol.

Nope, boas dont lay eggs as well as garter snakes and many species of vipers as well as many other reptiles

Sorry, i wasn't think of the actual laying of eggs, but the production. I actually just did a search, found some interesting species on that list. That's a huge advantage, when u said viper the first thing that came to mind was the copperhead.. we have them around here and there are posted signs in the parks/reservations.

 

I was looking into breeding turtles, but NJ has you by the balls on that one. Some of those guys will fetch a pretty penny.

Turtles or tortoises?

There is a decent market in albino sliders and other aquatics.

There is a decent market for tortoises also.

The only problem is they both require a lot of attention.

I have both aquatic turtle and a land tortoise. They are both equal pains in the arses.

I enjoy breeding my rats more than anything haha, plus I make money off of them monthly... And my snakes eat for free lol.

Aquatic turtles, in particular the Map genus. I have had a pretty easy time with the 2 i have, Norther black knobb(m) and pear river(fm). I do tank maintenance about 1nce a month, which includes nothing more then vacuuming and a media clean. Costs about 30bucks to feed them for a year. I found a pretty good balance for the tank community consisting of some plants, freshwater shrimp, catfish and the turtles. I run well water which seems very beneficial, but keeping the class clean is a PITA. The Biggest pain for me has been keeping unwanted snails out, and the assassin snails i put in there get eaten after some time.

 

My friends and family made fun of me for a while, like what exactly do turtles do... then i show them the tank and they can't believe how active and friendly they are. I was always into snakes, but i don't feel like i could deprive one of liberty... turtles literally eat and chill, very curious, but very shy. They are natures submarines. I feel like they have distinct personalities.

 

The market is pretty high on anything rare, so i was looking into the possibilities of hybrids and genetic variants and just rare species... the problem is they are very difficult if impossible to reproduce. I noticed the market is a very close community too, and you need to be able to clutch turtles that are vibrant in color and detail. I'm not so much into the "mutant" variants though, those 2-headed sliders don't really live that long, but they dooo fetch hundreds of bucks, in comparison to $10.

Did everyone forget that women "lay" an egg every month unless the egg gets fertilized?

 

Very nice, I've always liked the map turtles. I have a male eastern painted, female red bellied, un sexed common musk, and an unsexed alligator snapper, I also have a large angry female red eared slider....

They all have unique personalities and tend to be very friendly through glass lol

I was real big into reptiles a few months back... I've kind of got overwhelmed the last few months. I sold off all my breeding stock ball pythons.... Still regret that but it allowed me to get my ar setup with a few things, and pay a few bills.

I'm hanging in to my woma pythons though, they are by far one of the coolest snakes I've ever encountered. Extremely mellow, very curious, and by far the best species I've worked with.

+1 for the womas they are one of the few python species that i would like to owne and i am sure i will one day when i can start up my reptile collection again
