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

Ok, so I went and talked to the feed store. They get chicks from Privett Hatchery and Belt Hatchery, and they think they ordered the chicks from Privett. Privett only has Dark, Light, and Buff Brahmas, so I definitely didn't get Brahmas. Their website lists several colors of Cochin, including Blue and Silver Laced, so that is probably what I ended up with.

Now I have to figure out if I want to keep the little stinkers or try to sell them now. Very frustrated that they would order the wrong chicks and say they were right rather than just straight up say they didn't have the breed I wanted.

So frustrating! They really should have just told you that they didn’t have the breed you wanted instead of going through all this trouble. I would go ahead and list them now to see if anyone is interested.

Our EE is squatting and singing an egg song every day. The egg should be coming soon right? She’s so loud!

My EEs are very loud too. Well, actually I think only one is lol and she's normally not but her egg song is sooo loud and drags on for so long LOL the Australorps too

I wonder if you got someone else's chicks and they haven't figured it out yet

I added two more eggs to my already started bator.

How does one stop themselves from constantly adding eggs each day?

Don’t ask me! I’ll only make it worse! I often like to add eggs, it’s too much fun to not add eggs!

You need a cabinet incubator so that you can set a new batch every week. Then you use your current incubator as a hatcher. You will constantly have quail at all stages of development and growth and a continuous supply of fresh quail to eat.

I need fertile eggs.
The one laid today is not fertile.
I might cry baby if none of these eggs I just set are even fertile.

My two EE don't make any noise.
The Welsummers on the other are very loud.

No no no. Kiki do not cry, it will be okay. But you never know, they might be fertile!

I just collected another egg and it was fertile so I am feeling a little better now.
