    Larkwell Valley (2023)

    Oh yeah, that little guy is very yellow, haha! I wouldn't be surprised at all if it feathers out white.

    Somebody PLEASE tell me how to incubate Sebastopol geese eggs!!!!

    I myself wouldn't want the humidity that high until lockdown. For my area, that would be much too high and I'd have the goslings drowing before they hatch. I prefer 35% myself as I find that's what works best. @Angeladukes40 Have you been candling? What do the air cells look like? That will...

    Larkwell Valley (2023)

    Can you post a picture of the duckling? It could possibly be white - white is recessive, so if both parents carry a copy, and the duckling happened to inherit both, surprise white duckling, haha.

    Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

    49 to 60 days, usually. My flipping keeper chick got out of his brooder and turned my incubators off two days ago :barnie: The legbars in the incubator that were a week along are okay. The duck eggs that I had JUST started two days before are not, sigh. There go my runners. No idea if the goose...

    Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

    Yep! I have my adults, and also one chick that I'm keeping this year so far, and two last eggs in my incubator due in a couple weeks.

    Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

    Hi everyone! Been awhile since I popped in here. I hope everyone is well. I'm just starting my spring flock rebuilding after the dog attack last winter. I picked up some legbar eggs locally that are going into the incubator today. They are from opal hens under a cream male, and there was an...

    I am so sorry to hear about your loss and the fire :( That is devastating.

    Interesting feathers

    I haven't seen it either! I'd be interested to see if it stays like that after another molt.

    I might have to check in with you about some legbar and Pilgrim eggs :) What breeds are you crossing for the sex links?

    Legbar cross breeding

    Not autosexing, because that is a breed trait that carries on throughout the generations. However, legbars are barred, so if your modern game rooster is not, the chicks would be a type of black sex link. The difference is that sex links are a one generation cross, and it only works once - the...

    Silver Mallard Ducks

    Hey! I've done them before. It is not easy. Of course, I also had the eggs shipped to me, which is never great on the eggs so that didn't help. I've tried I think three times now? I got two ducklings to hatch out of all the tries, and neither survived. Now, all three of those tries were also...

    Official BYC Poll: What type of incubator do you use?

    Mine has probably changed - I don't think I had the Sportsman back then. It's become my main incubator, both for emu eggs and for other poultry in the emu off-season. I use a Nurture-Right 360 for birds other than emus in emu hatching season.

    Suggestions on drake addition for color variety

    Sorry I didn't reply! I have been SO swamped at work with the holidays I wasn't getting on BYC very much. Looks like you got a good answer though :)

    Any Gamers Here?

    The Amazon was once called the "green hell" by explorers. Diseases, bugs, predators, constant rain, etc, might it a nightmare for those who tried to explore and map it. So they named the game after that :)

    Any Gamers Here?

    I've played Green Hell! Very pretty game with an interesting story. I should load it up on my new PC and see if it's even prettier, haha. Lately I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3. I picked it up at the beginning of October and I don't think I've touched another game since, aside from some shiny...

    I caught a great horned owl in my duck pen netting a couple years back. Had to get him out and then run him over to VINS because he grabbed his own wing in his talons and tore himself up.

    I've waiting impatiently for emu eggs - could start getting them any time now. On the bird front, my flock is down in size at the moment, but I'm taking in a bunch from a friend on Saturday. Also just bought some girlfriends for one of my nicest Ko Shamo cocks. They'll be coming all the way...
