Gerald & Carla...the 23 turkey eggs we got from you for my daughter had only 1 quitter...1 quitter and that was an undersized Bourbon Red egg...22 good, healthy wigglers went to lockdown 10 minutes ago!!! I will say it again to all, you will not find better hatching eggs ANYWHERE...period. I...
Set 23 mixed turkey eggs tonight from our fav egg producers in Tuttle I am excited to get back to quality eggs after the great call duck disater of 2011, and Caity-doo is excited as well..though she is still unsure after the calls. I know these eggs will renew her faith
The Marine story is awesome...I'm the Marine formerly and formaly known as Cpl OkieChickenDad. The bad guy is lucky they showed a little restraint. Anyway sorry we missed POOPS this weekend..been a long weekend for us. Caity-doo fell from the monkey bars on her head tuesday at school and hurt...

Carla will more than likely have frizzled things of all sorts, you can't buy her out unless you have a deuce and a half army truck to haul them home.
If Gerald gets his deuce & half running, we'll be bringing a whole lot of stuff ... crammed full He hasn't driven it since...
Hope there will be some call ducks at POOPS...my daughter is devistated...43 eggs, all but 12 yolkers, the 12 ended up quitters. She went from very high hatch rates to zero with these. She said she wants to go back to turkeys and olive eggers
Well, we will never get eggs from anybody we dont know again...43 call duck eggs, candled at day 10...all but 12 yolkers. Candled at day 20 1 quitter. So 11 out of 43, odds went way down, way fast. If we get 1 duck I will be happy. Been a wild few weeks, cant wait for POOPS, but didnt see my...
Caity insisted we use the 1986 Hova...hand turning 3 times a day last summer she had 3 sets at 100%, she read that call ducks didnt have good hatch rates so she went with what she knows...keep the fingers crossed on these call duck eggs.

Bobcat...look for disturbed litter and stuffed under or in large logs/trees and in croocks of larger loafing trees. If there are any deer tree stands in the area, check them 1st.
By total surprise we came into 43 mixed (brown, grey, white) Call Duck eggs...and by shear accident I had the bator up and running set today and Caity-doo has kicked off 2011 hatching and said she wants to take them to POOPS! No no. I'm fine, its ok, just got somethin in my eye...
Hi all, still dealing with a VERY picky kid. I want Muscovy and she wants call duck hatching eggs. Do any Okies have call ducks or bantams and/or hatching eggs or newly hatched babies?

Thanks, I will ask her. I like the black, but i think she was wanting muscovy or mallard call ducks.
My runner ducks are laying (blue or brown) but the muscoveys haven't started laying yet. I don't recall where you are located in Oklahoma, but would make you a good BYC "deal" on...
My fellow Okie peeps...I am clearing my garage...sold most of my stuff that I could and have a toolbox left. Would make a good Christmas present for the car nut or handyman. Check out the listing if interested https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=430711 Other than that I got...
