I think this is a great thread. I try to remain neutral on forums. They are meant to serve as a place for everyone all of knowledge and experience levels to share and learn. Everyone needs to start somewhere and will grow with time and experience. Animal husbandry will always be evolving and adapting as individuals try new techniques, some will work and others will fail miserably. I personally find it intriguing to watch a breeder be able to effortlessly cut eggs in the manner he sees fit. I wouldn't be able to try it out on MY first clutch, but that's just me. I guess what I'm trying to say is to read, watch, share, and learn, then perform the techniques you are comfortable and agree with. This method has always worked for me.
