I set some duck eggs on July 2nd.  They were pretty banged up by the post office though.  hmm.png  I'm waiting until this weekend to candle them to see if the four out of six eggs have any progress.  Two of them had to be tossed out because they were cracked and leaking everywhere in the box.  I'm really not expecting much though.  Very sad. 

My Ustream channel with my 3 hatched ducklings! Yayy! They all made it.

Adding 12 Barred Rock, 12 RIR, and 11 White Leghorn eggs to my incubator today.  Hopefully my still air incubator is doing right when I get home.

I am a wife and a mother to 1 son, 2 daughters, 2 step sons, 3 step daughters.

 

I currently have Two Barred Rock Hens and 1 Dominique Roo

and 6 baby barred rock/dominique mix and 1 Black Sex Link Jersey Giant.

2nd hatch date  7/23  I have a lot late on this hatch.

3rd hatch date   7/24  I think a lot are going to be late with the rest due to still air incubator.

4th hatch date   7/26

I'm in - put 6 lav/lav split Ameraucanas under my Silkie on Tuesday and just added some B/B/S Jersey Giant eggs that I had shipped.  This hen has raised chicks for me but neither she nor I have ever tried hatching eggs!  I'm totally expecting either nothing or only black roos...
