I got up first thing and set them! Here we are staring at our eggs, and in just 3 weeks we'll be watching them hatch. I think the pipping and peeping is my favorite part. Then of course, seeing how the chicks turn out. What's your favorite part of the process?

What is that color back in the back of your bator...cool

Ended up reworking my egg holders
And adding a egg carton in halfsies in between. So we got in 42
Here's our set pic, 2pm

Quote: Thanks. My Dh talked me into trying some mallards this year even though I'm concentrating on choosing my turkey breeds this year. So I have a few snowy mallards from ideal coming right before the Easter price increase.

Quote: They do look interesting. Do they lay a colored egg? That is one of the things I'm looking for. Ducks are not my favorite bird but my little girl loves the large colored eggs. We had a green egg laying duck but I'm almost positive we sold her.

I'll be setting a bit late in hopes of gathering a few more eggs.

Those are a cream color from my "I don't know what she is" pullet. Lol I bought her at an auction as a chick and was told she was a Lavender Orpington. She clearly isn't. Here is a pic of her at 12 weeks old. She just started laying this past Christmas Eve. Any ideas what she could be? Some say she looks like a Blue Wyandotte. She has a rose comb.
