Okay so I just candled the khaki Campbell duck eggs (it's only day three) and out of 11, 7 were for sure growing and healthy! The other 4 I'm not sure about and will leave them in there for a little longer. Fingers crossed I get a good hatch!!!

I heard chirping! 

Still no sign of movement or anything - the eggs just look like eggs. But they are chirping eggs!

Haaaa. I can't wait. 2 more weeks for me

Soy? I just read from a gal on BYC..no soy for chickens.   :/    Just throw out the seeds..they will eat it.  I've only done fodder..I haven't tried fermenting.  I don't have the place for that.  

Fodder?
Lol I guess you're going to show me that one too.

And yea I read a little and it said no soy milk. Lol

This is how I do it..I use something that I can poke holes in the bottom. There is

a great thread..just type in fodder thread. This is the first photo on there. I love this! I mean, I literally love this! It tastes like sweet peas in a pod when you use wheat.

Soy is used in a lot of poultry feed. You can buy soy free but it's more expensive.

Had to go back and see what she wrote..here it is...guess this is different!

Also, I know uncooked soybeans are extremely bad for chickens, & I don't know what other legumes are safe or unsafe in an uncooked state.

I tried sprouting for awhile. My chickens weren't too interested, very spoiled. I have found out that if you sprout beans, you have to cook them first. Lentils, grasses and smaller seeds are easier. I don't want to have to cook them first.
