Construction, Balls and breeding!
We have been doing some construction lately. First thing we did was to build some more racks for our breeder males. We use 28 qt. Sterilites for the males, and have been using expanded PVC to build the racks. We had one built already, and needed to add 2 more, to get the rest of our breeders out of the ARS hatchling racks. While I was taking pics of the new racks, I also took an updated pic of the adult room with all of the racks in place now. We still need 3 more CB-70 racks, and those are in line after our current construction project (to be mentioned in a bit). After I put the new male racks in place, I decided to take a pic of all of the males that were getting moved. So, what a great opportunity for a Tub 'O Balls photo. In the shot are 18 breeder males (see if you can pick them all). So of them are Het for other traits, so I know you can't get them all right. We also finally received our Tiger male in, and I put up a pic of him as well.
Lastly, I included a pic of our latest construction project. A new walk-in incubator. It is just starting, but I will post up pics as we progress on the build out. This is being built in the old adult Ball room, which is now the hatchling and yearling building. It will be 7.5' x 4.5'. We should be able to hold a bunch of eggs in there. Speaking of eggs, we started breeding (slowly) this past week, and got a lock from the only male we introduced (Sugar x Pastel). We have some more males in tonight, and maybe somemore pics tomorrow. Enough of my yaking, here are the pics.
