My girl Velvet (Boxer) has just 5 days till her whelp date. Although it is looking like she may go early, she started loosing her mucous plug this morning and temps. hovering in the 98 range.

I am looking for some duck eggs. I live in Southern Mississippi and am also willing to travel a short distance to pick up ducklings.
My wish list is Caycua
Blue Swedish

Will also consider mutt eggs if they have these breeds in them...
I am so happy I am over the moon. This has been my best hatch yet, think I finally got that humidity thing figured out.
I now have a bundle of Turken babies and they are sooo cute.
Pictures aren't great but best I could do for now.
I got a hatchery choice shipment the last week in April. Most I have been able to identify but these few I have not. There are a few I am not even sure of the gender.
1) I think it is a Roo, breed unknown, very calm and quiet, not to mention beautiful. He has lightish green legs if that...
I am on my 3rd hatch and so far have not had very good luck. I am hoping this one turns out better.
I have read through the sticky on humidity but am still a bit concerned and hoping for some encouragement.
My 2 previous hatches I ran at 25-35% humidity Days 1-18. Day 18-21 I have bumped it...
I have developed a facination with the Turkens and want some of my own. My incubator will be free end of next week and I have an unhealthy need to fill it back up.

I have no idea what has happened, I suspect one of my kids got up and sometime last night and were messing with the eggs.
I woke up this morning to find one of my chicken eggs had the top of the egg, where the air cell is gone. I can see where there has been a very small amount of bleeding...
So..I have 3 hens that had been laying about an egg a day. A little over a month ago I lost my rooster, and soon after I stopped getting eggs.
I just figured that with the warmer weather they were being taken by some critter of the night, snake, raccoon, etc...
Wellllll..yesterday hubby was...
Not sure if anyone here remembers the man who threw his kids off the Dauphin Island Bridge in Alabama. He has been sentenced to death and the judge has ordered he be shown pictures of his children everyday he sits waiting on death row.
As bad as it sounds, I am glad we still have the death...
So I found this site and the plans for make your own incubator. Hubby has helped me make the bator and now I need some eggs to put in it.
This will be my first time incubating eggs and I am excited and anxious to get started.
I'm not looking for any certain breed. I would like a few duck...
Hello
I am new here and new to chicks also. Last year a bought a few Bantam chicks at a local livestock auction. They are grown now and starting to lay eggs.
I had such fun with just the few chicks that I decided to get more this year and ordered a mixed straight run batch from a hatchery...
