It just wasnt ment to be, but yes it sure was pretty.

Bunnies..Yes the bill did look crooked and its face, but I didint know if it was like that because it died and had rigor so to speak or if it was indeed crooked. But Im glad I now know that William my white Magpie drake kicks out colour..whooda thunk it ah. I was sad it was dead but also excited...

Egg 3 didnt make it, I just candled and the air sac was ok apart from it bubbled down the side towards the back of the egg. I knew it was dead so I opened it and found a little black and white chick but its yolk hadnt absorbed. Mother Nature knows what shes doing when she takes creatures...

Quote: We gave Ell a bath on Tuesday and he just stood there like...OMG...I had to splash around and he was ok and had a quick bath and wes ready to come out. Today we put them in and Gem was like a pig in poo, hes learning to be a scuba diver already. Ell had a quick was and stood with his...

Quote: Lisa its killing me I tell ya. The last 2 eggs were put in on the same day and still NO PIP from the last egg. Its alive tho and moving around

We had a bath today. People say oh you cant give them a bath untill they are so many days old. I think that wild mama duck doesnt say oh hold on, your not 4 days old yet so dont follow me into the water

Yes they have the same shadeing round their faces and backs. I dunno maybe its just a different shade of yellow and will turn white in the end. Poor Gemini, all he/she wants to do it bury herself under Elliot and keeps getting a pekking for doing it, so I went and put on the heat lamp put her...

Gemini Elliot is not to happy can you tell this photo says is all!

Well Number 2 hasnt stopped since 4am...non stop, it must be a woman!!! Put it in the tote that Elliot was in and it tried to jump out so its back in the spare room so if it does it cant go anywhere. Put Elliot in with her/him and he was more interested in her teddy to start with but then...

he/she is out..at last, I wanted it to hatch before we go to bed so i can get him out in a while and put in a brooder, the other egg hasnt pipped yet so im good to go with this one. oh here he/she is, we were there taking photos and he/she was like what...get outta here

Quote: No voice change coz I never ever heard Tula quack or rasp. But it doesnt matter, up untill that blink of an eye tail curl she was a female duck, so now its a drake, I wont be getting rid of him, hes 1 of the crowd and everyone gets on and he will add a bit of colour to the crowd too.

Ok round 2 is here. 1 egg pipped yesterday at 8pm..same time as Elliot pipped the week before. The other egg I candled too but didnt see any movement so thought it was boiled with me doing a staggered hatch, but nope. I was watching the pip egg rockin an a rollin and the other egg rocked. I was...

Good Lord...are you the mother of all hatches down in Augusta or what. Bators and brooders stacked to the ceiling and your own warehouse cleark to do inventory every month. Now thats the way to go

Quote: Did you get any more interesting colours this time Lisa. I cant wait for your silver 1 to feather out so we can see his/her colour.

Getting Cuddles. Curiositycat..yeah its a classic example of WHOS YA DADDY!!! but he sure knows who his mama is...meeeee!!!

Quote: Aaaah, bless his heart and yours. Its funny what a bit of plaster or sticky tape will do when the ducks are still wet. My neighbour raises goats, thats where I got mine from and when they are born and still wet if she has 1 with the ends of its ears turned up she bends the ears down...

yes it will be interesting to see how mine turns out considering I have 1 white Magpie drake and a blue Runner drake..

Quote: 1 egg, from the same duck coz its the same shape is doing good and is in the air sack...the other egg, hmmmmm im not to sure on it, I can see a little bit of movement but im not to sure. If it doesnt hatch ill open it up and see whats in there. I think I might of cooked it when Elliot...

Round 2 with 2 eggs go into Lockdown tomorrow morning. 1 egg is moving around alot and looks like its trying to get into the air sack. The other egg im not sure about, I candled yesterday and saw it moving but not like the other. Today 1 candled and didnt see any movement, but hey you never...

Quote: Have you hatched out any babies from the drakes you kept from Holderreads. My better half says Finn is a sandwich short of a picnick...we dont think hes all there, hes a weird sort of guy but we love him.
