➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

So if you get a few more mom's to get feather extensions I'm pretty sure it won't be trendy anymore.

My two dogs and one of the cats come lay on my yoga mat as soon as I unroll it. Very helpful. Also the cat loves to claw at it like a scratching post and wrestle the foam block.

They're such jerks. Mine does the same thing, always stretching and then pawing at it (one of them, anyways). The other doesn't move much.

My australorps all had black combs as babies.

This one came from a green egg so it's from an oe hen. And was labeled as OE so I assumed OE hen bread back to Marans or maybe another OE. I hope they didn't breed it back to an austrolorpe but label the chick as OE bc I don't find that accurate. I'd say EE at that point but I'm not sure exactly where this egg came from (mpc hatching egg) so I have no idea how to find out what breeds were used.

Mine did it too @PirateGirl & @honanbm both times I used my yoga mat ... kidding I've used it like 5 or 6.

Ohhh! Ballet boxes! Do they dance on their toes? Or corners? What is a stuffed ballet box? Is that a fat dancing box?

As opposed to ballot boxes?

Okay so I can't spell!!! What exactly is your point? I still vote HELL NO

Have you seen this one yet?

I had not. Very informative! I've never used an incubator so I never really think of these things. The broody does her thing (I usually have her hatch them in the brooder), she dries them off, shows them how to eat and then it's smooth sailing.
Good to know if the time ever comes that I don't have a broody, or five, around.

So I just read something along the lines of some chicks have a black comb until they reach puberty so I guess this will probably be the case here. Hope so. I'd just never seen a back comb before. OH & sorry everyone for the gross nail shot. I go through off & on stages of biting my nails (a habit I've fought since childhood). Usually when I've got too much time in my hands.

I didn't notice that, you should have just not said anything.

I didn't either til I shared then I thought I better apologize for grossing people out. I would've taken it down and switched for a different pic had I noticed sooner. They look horrible!
