Howdy Dan...

Hi.

So I have some duck eggs that are like 5 weeks old sitting on the counter......

These are the last things I read before skipping pages..

Thank you. I'm praying this little one will pull through.

I helped two duck eggs hatch but don't know much besides everything I've learned here at byc! My ducks made it though so I guess I did something right.

Helping an egg become a chick is always dangerous. I find I use to kill more than I helped.

Knowing when to stop is the best thing to do if you can't sit on your hands and do nothing. Most the times a chick that fails to hatch is defective anyways..... First sight of red blood and I stop.

Ralphy must have dozed off day dreaming about the real Eileen covered in little red bumps!

I did go to bed, and did not sleep well at all. You are an evil woman! Nothing like my Angel Eileen.


Now for something scarier than Shaw's dermatology problems fl fingers crossed it is not an STD).....



This is a fisher attack on my Cousin's chickens. She walked to the coop as she took this, you can see it did not stop the attack. I was going to post just the link to the Mn thread, but decided to repost this several times as I think it shows how determined fur bearing critters are to get our birds.

Set them. D'oh.

Set them. D'oh.

I was thinking about it. No ones gonna eat them cause they don't like duck eggs and they'll just get fed to the dogs or hogs. Worse that happens is they don't make it.

No way. He's gonna incubate them and send you the babies.

I can feed them to my trained Fisher!
