Thank you so much, I didn't even think about the fumes. I was just worried about what the nail polish would do to their skin, but the fumes didn't even cross my mind. You're right, if I handle them frequently, the bands shouldn't cause any problems. I will definitely go with the leg bands...
Hi, I am a first-time duck mommy with my Cayugas in the incubator. They are due to hatch on Monday (in 4 days).
I have 12 eggs, and throughout the whole incubation process, 100% of them have looked perfectly healthy. I couldn't be happier, but the problem is: how am I going to tell them apart...
Hmm, I wish I could help you, but unfortunately this is my first hatch too and I'm afraid I don't know much about movement. I didn't even expect them to move in their shell at day 10! I gasped when I read this post because I too am hatching Cayuga ducks! And they are also on day 22! Make sure...
