Had 5? plus external pips on the duck eggs this morning! I am ready for them to come out and play.... or at least I want to meet them, not overly interested in their water antics

Yay! I'm collecting eggs for my first hatch. Another day or two and I should be able to fill the incubatorHad 5? plus external pips on the duck eggs this morning! I am ready for them to come out and play.... or at least I want to meet them, not overly interested in their water antics
I had a 9’week old crow once last week. It was faint and half hearted and weird and only happened once. It was a fluke and I think it got frightened or something.@jolenesdad and everyone else,
Being in no crow zone, I'm a little sensitive to drawing attention. When do the Red Rangers/Imperial Broilers/others of this ilk crow?
With harvesting being 14-16 weeks, I'm afraid I'm sticking with the 8 weeks to freezer types.
The NN cockerel is finding his voice at 12 weeks.
My last batch of chicks had a cockerel 'crowing' at just under 2 weeks.I had a 9’week old crow once last week.
Tender for grill after just 24 hour rest or so you do a little longer at 16 weeks??My last batch of chicks had a cockerel 'crowing' at just under 2 weeks.
Not often but regularly after that.
That cross was definitely precocious.
I slaughter at 16 weeks because still tender enough for the grill,
and not causing too much trouble(tho have gone as early as 13-14 weeks).
Tall but scrawny. He is larger than the barnyard hatchery mix cockerels but not much heavier. I'll hazard a guess at 4 pounds live weight. Time to put him on the scale. Great idea!sorry about that NN, it’s probably not too filled out yet? At least it probably has some good legs.....
I rest for at least 2 days, but I found longer(another day or two) is better.Tender for grill after just 24 hour rest or so you do a little longer at 16 weeks??
Join the March hatch a long when you doYay! I'm collecting eggs for my first hatch. Another day or two and I should be able to fill the incubator
