Well, we select eggs over as I said before, we'll do, do two, we'll, we'll, we'll do one runner leg bar, and one running corner. We'll do them, usually the corner we do later on in the year because they're a wee bit smaller and that is bit earlier in the summer. The leg bodies can hart to bachelder. So, what we do is, if I'm doing it on a corner rod, I'll go at night, and I'll look at the bottom right there. So I'll go and I'll lift out, and I'll put it in an arc until it lays an egg, and then I'll it put back into the bed until I've collected six eggs. And I'll do that with the birds that I want to breed with. It's just the same process where we only pick from our very, very best. So, a pen I think there's seven in each pen, 14 hens, I'll only breed with two of them. We keep the parent stock always part of the grandparent, so in some of them corners we keep at least three, four some of them are five some of them I just sold some of them Monday there there a five year old, six years old. I never stole in, I stole some to come and collect. Them corner they'll stay inside for about ten weeks having to come outside or put them in the rungs. The more prominent corners you can't tell the male and female until they start developing their combs, usually eight weeks. But the Kim Legbar we can tell straight away who the males and females are because the sex length. The females have a check mark straightened in the back and the, the males are much paler. It's very, you can see it straight away well. So they, when they, when they hatch some of them are really hot, so then return to the the brooder. A brooder unit for about a week and then they get to brooder cages and every week we drop the temperature five degrees till up to seven or eight weeks and then we gradually just switch their light sets off. Then usually I said ten weeks, it depends in the way that, because sometimes if you put them at ten weeks in May, some are about just soon fallen because it can still get cold at night. So usually second week in May when these early ones, we'll put them out then, but after, after laying in the basement. It's delicate flowers, non, like, non-hardy flowers. You put them in after last frost. That's assuming you're checking exactly the same, that, that's the way that we work, and it works for us. One of the problems with Legbars, there are two distinct types. You've got an eight Sebastian breed. And you've got a utility breed. The thing about a Sebastian breed if you're breeding just for X Sebastian. You tend, tend to be much more corseted than a couple of a drones that will navigate heat and that will navigate some pulling into light. And, and if you do that over a period of years that takes one of the hardiness aspect is that. So, if I bought eggs from the actual Sebastian breeder and hatched them out, they wouldn't have to do as well as modern birds because the hardiness is bred in them. So, look and I've, a lot of people have said. The further north you go, the hardier the birds get. So, birds they all do, they will do up here. They'll do any of them in England. Right? The birds that are, are bred in the south of England. They won't do the same up north. And, it's not genet, I don't know what, it's not genetic. It's just a way that it seems to be bred into them. And, that's why I think that the fate of but, these are all year verdant. They don't get, the only time they get heat as wind up chicks, you don't get any additional heat. They don't get any additional light unless I'm putting them into shores, and then they'll get a wee bit of heat and a wee bit of light for maybe a month before just to get them into condition. Then the week before the shore we'll start to take the temperature down because when they get into the shore, they're in like a big barge. So the temperatures down, so they need to be used to that. I gave them, some of the eggs of Sebastian breeders come in a warm purse, like a warm garage, they go into the shore, and they sat down because I'm too cold. But these are just tips and tricks that we've learned for ex Sebastian breeders other people would do it. It's all, but we learn most of this stuff as we go along, but both my wife and I have attended college, and have done poultry courses. I've had 17 years experience breeding hens. We wash the birds in pet shampoo, a very sensitive pet shampoo. And then we tie them up, put them in a cage with heat, good to have them on, on heat. Sometimes I put a hair dryer on them. And then we'll just leave them to dry for two or three days. For the shore, you need to wash them for at least. A big grid, ten, ten, ten days, two weeks before, because that gives opportunity for the oils to get back into the feathers. But, a small breed you can do it about a week before. >> Mm-hm. >> So, once we dry them up, check them all we go through all the feathers with I got my cloth in my hands and rub it and just smooth it in their feathers. And then you put sweet almond on the legs and the vecks or light balm or in the combs not, not brings em up. Those are wet tracks. In fact that means, that one of them brings more than game, a lot small, they really take it seriously, but we were up Atlantic shore, we saw a guy coming out, and he had two tube boxes, just for dipping a pair in his box. >> Make up for chickens. >> Aye, uh-huh, aye.
