    pictures of eggs set for the 4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

    Here is my photo taken tonight - we set 12 Muscovy duck eggs on November 27 but had to cull 4 of them after candling. Backstory: We had a very sad incubator episode, then an uncooperative (although previously or "pretendably" broody) surrogate hen while the incubator was evaluated and then...
