Well the chicken is a full grown hen. I want to wait until the duckling is a little bigger before putting them together.

I realized that October disappeared and I never even updated about the hatch (or participated in the games). Out of 10 Ancona eggs that went into lock down, only 1 hatched. No clue what happened, the others were moving/alive, but never absorbed their yolk to hatch. So we have a singleton working...

Ok, on my mobile which dislikes uploading pics... My last pic on my phone was of the 21 egg stash I found in my duck coop: I Candled them and on the right were the larger air cells. Used them inn a frittata. Bantams, large chickens and ducks all laying in that clutch. My next to last pic...

Welsh Harlequins from my small group. The one on the left is for sure a boy, the rest are girls I think. Dark breaks are boys, lighter breaks with the dark tips are girls. I threw them in there because a couple of my girls disappeared. Thinking aerial predator of some sort. Very happy with this...

So 4 ducklings from 4 eggs, 3 girls and 1 maybe boy... I love that Welsh Harlequins are semi auto sexing. When I get them in the brooder tonight, I'll be washing and sanitizing the bator for the 18 ancona eggs from @Sally Sunshine!

So my duck eggs are in lock down today from my home flock... Had 1 internal pip already!! Woo! I candled this morning before I left for work when I put them in lock down and upped their humidity. On a side note, I found my runted/stunted hen in the coop the other day hiding behind the nest...

So @Sally Sunshine ... About those Ancona eggs.... I want Anconas too! Love my Welsh Harlequins, but all the normal people I purchase from seem to be molting at the same time...

@Sally Sunshine I forgot about the Halloween HAL you do!!! We've been super busy trying to do fencing for our property!! I am hoping to get some eggs to hatch for ducks soon... We had a couple of girls that disappeared the last couple of months and I have discovered how very tasty duck eggs...
