I hear rabbit is quite tasty. I need to try one sometime soon! Never thought I'd eat a duck until I ate a duck.

Having trouble getting the humidity up on my hatcher. Suggestions? I'm locking down tomorrow, so today is troubleshooting day.


What?!  Is she a vegetarian?  Not that it matters.. just curious.

Everything sounding good so far?

 


Sounds perfect.

Okay, so my friend's ducks in my bator are due Monday.  Just candled and 3 have internally pipped.  Really?  

 

I was going to put them in "early" lockdown tmw!  Now it's a mad dash to get everything ready.

 

 

AND:  What do you make of this?  Not a bullseye... but cloudy and weird.

I'm expecting earlies this time too. Those eggs look too full to not need lockdown till Sunday. I'm locking those boogers down tomorrow.

What gives with the early hatches! 

 

 

GQ:  Isn't that weird?  I almost want to break open an Ancona to see.  That was a mallard.   It's darker and spotty.  Never seen that before.
