So are these chicks.

Have they gotten an external pip yet?

Pekins come out Yellow.
I'm fairky certain this duckling is a Muscovy based on color and the fact that they are most commonly used for Balut in the U.S

New thread idea @KikisGirls ! What will the surprise balut babies be? Follow along to find out. Not as exciting as hatching but I'd keep up.

It looks like three have. One is for sure open and peeping every once and a while, the others are silent.

@KikisGirls Did you fall asleep?? How is the other baluttie doing?

I'm only familiar with Mallards. Hmm....I will have to look into call ducks....

You like bantam chickens? I have almost all bantams - chickens and ducks. I like small breeds. Only large fowl I have are black copper marans, and I still have 2 Swedish drakes.

Call ducks are absolutely my favorite.

I need to catch up.

Baby baluttie number one's feet are um...silly.
Well really just his right foot.
Do I worry now?

No I had to take a shower to wake up then run to get fake meatballs so I could cook. Got the food started so I'm going to catch up now. See you in a few.

I think I know why the broody killed her chick. She’s not acting like her normal broody self, I think she sat for too long and was going to give up. She still has her fake egg and she has left it several times already this morning. It was just poor timing unfortunately.
