Those are my keepers from your hatching eggs. I need to get more recent pics. They are awesome little ducklings!

Awwww....love.gif They are adorable. Hope I can finally get some hatched out now that my thermometer has been calibrated and the incubator turned down...... so far everything is good, but i do need to candle so might just do that tonight.

Farming is a state of mind. Trust me, nobody would ever call my patch of land a farm, yet we do... wink.png

Me too..... I figured it up and my incubator was getting to about 107 degrees with that thermometer reading wrong ep.gif I can't believe I hatched the 1 Ancona out of there.

Yup. I wish I had kept more, but I'm limited on how many ducklings I can keep without selling off adults.

 

I'm thinking of selling off some adults anyway. Boogers went from 19 eggs a day to 7! he.gif

I don't think I've ever paid attention...they fluff so fast, lol.  If indeed it is offset, it won't be a show bird, but it should be fine otherwise.  Yep...the silkies are so sweet and calm...I just love them.
