    Very sensible. So many people hatch one clutch after another without thinking.

    I'm no expert, but I do know that where I live, the rainwater goes to a different set of pipes than the toilets and other household wastewater. But, compared to much of the world, it's a new neighbourhood that got its rainwater and sewerage pipes in the early 20th century. No doubt they send the...

    For me, when you took that video, you were exercising authority. I mean authority in the sense of authorship: creating the contexts in which the animals live. That covers things like taking a video, treating ailments, providing food, and providing quality of life (and death).

    I love a discussion too and hope I see all sides clearly. For me, death is not of concern. It's inevitable. Not a big deal. So, life matters more and quality of life matters far more. The concept of having authority over the lives and deaths of the animals I live with, have affection for, and...

    Would you put a guide dog for a person with a visual impairment into the comrade category?

    Peggy once killed a hatchling. I can't trust her with chicks and when another hatch is attempted, she won't be allowed near the broody, eggs or chicks.

    I would try with Ini mini, Kraai or Black first. See what happens. If that's another disaster, try incubating the year after.
