Does anyone here have experience showing birds? I would like to get started in it with ducks, but I don't know where to start, hoping someone here has experience. I've looked on the Feather Fanciers site, but I'm just not finding answers to questions that I have. Thanks for your help!

Haha! That's hilarious.

I wanted to share this because I thought this was so cute. My duck and chicken are both broody and rather then take their own nest box, they've decided to share one together. So when one gets up, the other sits or they both cram themselves into one, they are sitting on 6 eggs that I got for them.

I wanted to throw this in here, we have a splash polish chick about 6 weeks old, that I've discovered is a male. He's getting horns! If anyone is interested please let me know, he's a bit small for the table and would rather find him a home now since I know for sure he's a he. Thanks

So, updated report, and had 6 successful hatches of EE's, one half zipped, I had to go and open it and it was already dead, but noticed the beak was crooked, so it was probly for the best. 5 chick's are black, 1 is blonde with a brown stripe. I don't see any more pips, so I don't think anymore...

So as of this morning, we have 3 hatched chicks. One is yellow and the other 2 are black, I will post pics when I get home and hopefully have more pips or chicks to share as well.

Two more pipped! Hopefully I'll have at least 3 chick's out by morning, how exciting, just like the first time everytime.

Welcome Craftymama we're in Arvada! We currently have 3 chickens with 14 chicks a few weeks old and a bator of 17. And update, we went on lockdown last night, came home at 4:30 today with one pip!! Keep you all updated in the next couple days!

No, they're local eggs. I've given up on shipped eggs, too much money to spend on little to no hatches, especially at this altitude. Seems to me to be a waste of money. I've tried shipped a few times and have gotten zero to hatch, you just don't know what happens to them in transit. Or, I'm just...

My eggs go on lock down on the 19th, I tried to candle them but it's all black inside. I'm hoping that's a good sign. I candled about day 10 and saw lots of veining on all of them so I'm hopeful we will have a good hatch. They are EE eggs, 17 of them.The air sacs look good too. I'll keep you all...

I know this is off topic, but it is livestock and colorado related, but does anyone know anybody with potbelly pigs available? We are looking for one. Also, checked my 17 EE eggs, and it's looking like all of them have veins! we have about 2 more weeks to go, can't wait!

I set our 17 EE eggs yesterday! I'll keep you all up to date as we move along. How exciting!

Welcome to the Colorado thread also! I have 17 EE eggs that I'm hoping to put in the incubator tomorrow morning. I'm so excited, plus I got 16 chicks this weekend from the feed store in FC...A little out of control right now with the chickens!! LOL

I have showgirls that get funny like that when they get broody, if there are no eggs, they will actually get bigger rocks that are laying around and sit on them, it's the funniest thing! I have to take the rocks away so they start laying again. I had one of them even hatch out a serama egg that...

How exciting! I'll be headed to get some Easter Egger eggs here in about 10 minutes! Can't wait to see pictures.

I still haven't heard from them yet, but as soon as I do I'll let you know. I want to get a few different varieties. I hate the waiting.....

I just called them myself, hoping to go up there this weekend. I can let you know how it goes if you like? They seem to have a BIG variety. Would rather hatch my own, but fertile eggs seem to be hard to come by.

You guys are KILLING me with all these hatchings! I'm going to have to call around this weekend and see if I can find some eggs. It's so much more fun hatching your own instead of buying chicks, at least for me anyway. .....Thanks guys
