HEY!!  Who  wants to check out my moms blog?!

 Heres our new one http://honeycreekhollow.blogspot.com/......... And the old one.... BTW, I am very short in this one lol http://beforehoneycreekhollow.blogspot.com/

Thank you all for the advice on the last few bator days. I still have not moved them, waiting till dark tonight so we can do one last candle on them while we move the egg turner out of it. My 12 and 6 year old said they could swear they heard pipping this morning. Thankfully they know better than to open the bator when it is not needed. 

They have the eggs numbered and are looking forward to one last peek before lock down so they can record things. And then we wait....

CG....love the Call babies!  What a nice variety of color, too!  I have one of those flat tubs, and it's had many a waterfowl in it.  It's great in the winter because it won't crack, and perfect for youngsters to learn to bathe in.  What sort of treats do you feed them?

CG, your calls have very long bills for calls... interesting.... pure call ducks?  They are adorable!  Love all the colors! How in the world are you getting greys though??

My little gray and blue magpie are starting to get feathers on their butts. They are adorable. They follow goosey around like it's their momma, and the gosling follows me or Chuckie. Chuckie is the sweetest bird, she loves all her friends. Duck, goose, chicken, and turkeys, lol.

7 of them are 6 wks old and have belly buts and kinda above the wings and on heads feathered
My white im guessing is 5 wks has a feathered belly
An the youngest are just getting the feather starts

Mine just have their tail feathers starting and pin feathers by their scent gland. The grays down color has changed though, it's developing a ring around it's neck and it's belly is a different color than at hatch. Which I think is weird, never had a ducklings down change colors before.

And i have gotten every color so far besides white and pied
An thats not a grey it a blue fawn

Ahh, pet quality... makes sense..... Don't like the look of ANY show bird?  Only pet quality?  I personally like show quality better in any bird, but everyone is different :)
