My Mallard has been setting on a clutch for close to a month now. She was running around in the run today drinking tons of water. I think she's getting ready for lock down. I candled a few eggs a few days ago and found that they were coming along, somewhere around the mid to upper twentieth day...

I'm simply on the look out for a nice rooster that I can add to my flock. My daughter has expressed interest in showing at the local fairs, but we are looking for a start off point and the rooster is the only thing we have omitted up to this point. I am not set on breed yet and will probably add...

This does beg the question, are you still with Roo, or have they all been placed into a cold storage relocation program?

I pulled a Wheaten from her shell today. She doesn't appear to be in any pain, and is getting around in the brooder. Not a great first hatch, but I think she will survive.

We have a Wheaten pip!

So far, I still only have the one, and no movement elsewhere. I took a chance and got him out. He's in the brooder, moving around pretty well, and making plenty of noise. Still crossing my fingers.

Yep, the last day before lock down I removed all eggs that were off. I had a few that looked really good, surprisingly, he was not in one of them..

He's moving around a little. Panting occasionally, but quieter than last night. I'm hoping a few more start to move out, but so far no activity.

We've had the power go out a few times in the last 6 months. Never for any more than 30 minutes, so I was a bit worried about there being no heat source at that point. They are BCMs and Wheatens, all from Garry Farms in GA (bargain on BYC).

Yea. I have a list of things I will change before I use it again, but it has brought me one of 11 so far.

The canning jars are thermal ballast (insulation). I added them to help keep the temp more stable through the day, and it really helped tons. Now I just hope this one is rallying the rest of them to make a break for it.

Pip, and now a zip. This is my first hatch, and everything that could go wrong has so far. The chick is making plenty of noise. I've got my fingers crossed.
