Within a few hours, the chick has positioned itself to hatch and pushes its feet to break the shell open Instinctively chicks position their head under their right wing when hatching. This is called internal pipping

Wara għaxar snin bħala maniġers tar-razzett ta 'suċċess huma ddeċidew li jixtiequ jmexxu r-razzett tat-tjur tagħhom stess u xtraw 25 acres ta' art mhux żviluppata fit-Triq Windsor f'Vineyard NSW biex jibdew l-impriża ġdida tagħhom. Jivvjaġġaw kull tmiem il-ġimgħa minn Wentworthville għall-proprjetà l-ġdida tagħhom, ħadmu bla heda inaddfu arbuxxelli u siġar densi biex jippreparaw is-sit tad-dar il-ġdid tagħhom. Fl-1965 huma rrilokaw lejn Vineyard mat-tliet uliedhom biex joqgħodu fid-dar tagħhom briks ġdida fjamanta. ​ Ftit wara li stabbilixxew ruħhom, bdew jippjanaw ir-razzett tat-tjur tagħhom. Wieħed wieħed, inbnew 13-il barrakka kbira tat-tjur. Alex u Pat bdew industrija ġdida u saru pijunieri fit-trobbija ta '"ġrieden tal-bidu" li bihom trabbew tiġieġ ta' ġurnata sal-punt tal-bajd għal bdiewa kummerċjali kbar tat-tjur li jinsabu f'diversi żoni madwar New South Wales. ​ Waqt li kienu qed imexxu b'mod attiv l-akbar razzett tal-pullet tal-Awstralja, Alex u Pat kellhom ukoll u kienu jħaddmu Pat-A-Lex Kennels. Għal ħafna snin rabbew u wrew Shepherds Ġermaniżi u Corgis ta’ razza pura li jipproduċu ġriewi champion minn, biex insemmu xi ftit, sires champion Braecoola Caesar, Patalex Chieftain u kelba champion Diosma Roxanne. Huma vvjaġġaw għal ħafna wirjiet tal-klieb u rċevew mijiet ta’ premjijiet għall-klieb champion tagħhom. Alex u Pat saru magħrufa sew u rispettati għax-xogħol kontinwu tagħhom fl-industrija tat-tjur u wara 25 sena ta 'trobbija bdew pullets, iddeċidew li jikkonvertu razzett tat-tjur tal-gaġeġ tagħhom għal razzett tal-bajd ta' firxa miftuħa. Huma neħħew il-gaġeġ kollha mill-barrakki tagħhom biex b’hekk iċ-chooks tagħhom jirgħu fil-miftuħ. Din il-bidla fin-negozju rathom isiru pijunieri għal darb'oħra billi jfornu bajd ta 'firxa miftuħa għal suq niċċa fi ħwienet ewlenin tal-ikel tas-saħħa madwar Sydney metropolitani inklużi l-ħwienet tal-ikel David Jones. ​ Ħerqana li jespandu l-ħila tagħhom fit-trobbija tal-annimali, Alex u Pat iddeċidew li jipprovaw idejhom fit-trobbija u t-tlielaq taż-żwiemel ta’ razza pura. Billi ingaġġaw is-servizzi ta’ trejners lokali ta’ Hawkesbury, id-dwieb tagħhom kollha pproduċew rebbieħ jew tnejn f’ħafna binarji tal-gallop provinċjali ta’ Sydney u NSW. ​ Biex iżidu l-varjetà mal-menagerie tagħhom, il-mogħoż Boer imbagħad ġew għall-attenzjoni ta 'Alex u ddeċieda li jidħol fl-industrija tal-mogħoż tal-laħam.
