    Got these out of the mixed bantam bin at TS on 21 March

    Ok, I'm thinking these are d'uccles? male or female? I can tell one of these is male & one female, but are they d'uccles also? I have no clue as to what this one is, or if male or female.

    Little Giant question

    This is my first time trying to hatch eggs. I bought a little giant(still air) & egg turner at TSC. The only real problem I'm having is the difficulty in adding water. With the wire mesh, turner & eggs in there, I can't even tell where to put water. Do you have to take everything out each...
