BTW, in case it wasn't clear, I was using kraftyladies as an example precisely because despite having gotten a bit behind she has been absolutely stellar about letting people know what's going on. In other words she was the "best" example I could think of Just to clarify!

TURKEYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In his/her first public appearance

That's great news! I remember there was a picture about a gazillion pages back, but I didn't grab a copy.

Or ya know, I could have just said "What Scoutmedic said"...

I don't like to say negative stuff, as you guys know -- I value tact and politeness quite a lot. And this thread has been for me (and I think for a lot of people) a pleasant place to come hang out, share some company, and take a break from and get some support for the problems in our own lives...

Penalty disbursed.

Me too But realistically, most of the eggs were gathered before I saw the roo finally trying to jump the hen, and even at that I wouldn't be surprised if it takes him a bit to figure it all out. So I'm expecting to have to pull a lot of them, but am hoping for at least some fertility on this...

Donna!

Bee, if it's any consolation, I have to wait too!!! I've been swapping forever but with pp rather than eggs, so I have to "clear" my ten egg shipments too --

Oh boy, TwoBit, you're USPS? You're in the dragon's den now, buddy! :p Dang, does that mean we can't rank all over the USPS anymore??? And yes, the US postal service does get a lot of abuse around here but they can still get a five-page letter from Anaheim to NYC in three days for under...

AyeUp!!! I see you Guess what??? Three eggs are developing!!!!!!!!!!! (This is, by the way, a major testament to AyeUpChuck's packing skills -- it was like Fort Knox with feather quilt padding )

LOL! I'm loving the image of your little OEG "stealing" eggs. Sadly, I haven't had any broodies yet (intentionally started with breeds that don't go broody before getting into the rare breeds) so no personal experience to share. Yet!!!

Wow, I had to go back and actually click on the photo to make it large enough to see -- my eyes aren't what they used to be for sure! I'm glad to see there weren't really legs protruding, just the foot hanging over the edge of the box a little. That would've been awful if the poor birds had had...

I didn't realize she was boarding at the trainer's. She might simply be nervous at being in a new place with people she doesn't know. It does sound like she has a real strong emotional attachment to you, so yeah, it might be as simple as scared and confused without her "mommy" :-) Admittedly...

Good luck!

I don't know -- my personal gut reaction reading the above is I'd find a new trainer pronto. But that's just me.

I'm having such a hard time sitting on my hands right now! The last batch of isbar and cochin test eggs just went in the incubator Thursday and I am so hoping to see at least some development in this set. Early last week was when I saw one of the isbar roos trying to mate with the hens (and he's...

Yay for lots of new babies!!! Congrats!

Oh man, kitchenchick, that's heartbreaking! I'm so sorry

I have yet to actually have ducks but yeah, I could see why that would be a problem!
