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

I would turn them down. Wait and see if you hatch healthy chicks first.

I am hatching for him again. Half and Half deal.
Already took the deal. If I do not hatch healthy chicks he can have them all.

This is more for my bro than for me. He wants those mottled Japanese and the Polish.

Did y'all have to teach him English? Any contact with birth parents?

Yep, he didn’t speak a lick of English when we brought him over. My sister first met him when she was volunteering in Chinese orphanages and helped translate in the beginning.
It was rough, but compared to friend’s with similar adoption stories we got off very very easy. He’s a great kid now.

No contact with birth parents. He was abandoned as a newborn (suspected shamed teenage pregnancy) and put in a foster home. He had boiling hot oil spilled on him in said foster home and was poorly patched up by an army camp doctor. Then tossed aside into a “special ed” sort of foster home full of mentally retarded children, run by Christians for children who have very poor chances of being adopted so they can live their childhoods instead of being locked in a “killing room,” yes that is a real thing.
China has the one-child policy in place, everybody wants their one “perfect” child.

Awe. I love this.
Did y'all give him a name?

Edited above for clarity.

Of course! His name is Joseph.. the one sold by his brothers into slavery, and later became king of Egypt.

Gotta go to class!

I swear she went broody like 3 days ago on one egg. See what " I'll do it tomorrow" will get you. View attachment 1519213

Absolutely beautiful

Just a tiny window one. It’s not that hot, 22c I think, just stupid humid. I got the indoor humidity down to 50 today. I think it’s 70 % outside...

Ontario humidity is awful. I'm so glad that I left.

Oooh and he will give me bantam Ameraucana eggs

I got the makeshift brooder set up. I’ve got a screen for the top so they don’t fly out. I’ve got enough material that I could make 2. I’m going to keep an eye out for a kiddie pool or something, but the tarp will make clean up easy anyways.
The dog isn’t allowed in the basement where the babies are so they should be safe enough.
Little yellow is starting to get white wing feathers!
