I took the three eggs out and candled them rotten...

    Cold weather hatches

    The ducks are hatching. I felt just to make sure the eggs were warm and felt a little fuzzy head. A little extra straw a tarp and a lean to over the door should keep the wind out. Gonna be 25 tonight.

    I will keep you up to date. She was sitting on her own infertile eggs so I switched them out with khaki's that I ordered so that already lowers the hatch rate a little. But hopefully Wednesday we will hatch something.

    Buff Orpington are the sweetest things. Set in your lap ride on your shoulder. RIR are sweet but not the rooster. I'm new to this site also you can learn a lot by just asking.

    So are Hatching Eggs worth it?

    The first eggs I got off ebay had a 60% hatch rate I felt like a pro for my first time. Since then I have hatched very little to none in some cases. The ones that are supposed to hatch this Thursday were all alive at 7 days but now maybe two or three out of 12 not doing anything different could...
