Ignore the humidity. I think it needs to be recalibrated.

I have never tried vegemite. Have heard of it before. I didn't even know that they sold it here in the US? Never heard of, seen nor tried Milo before either. I had to google both lol.

Sometimes you can get lucky in the international aisle, but for the most part we order our Australian goodies online or have relatives bring stuff over when visiting.

high in glutamates..... toxic to migraine sufferers. Beware/

Never caused me any problems.

Maybe they would have it here?? A bit far from Texas though...

I really want to make a trip here sometime.

Ok it’s official! No “oops, I missed an egg”. No doubt about it. I got 3 duck eggs this morn.
Top: Khaki Middle: Rouen Bottom: Mallard

Xena FINALLY laid her first egg. And I am going to be able to tell which egg is from which duck. Annabelle's is large white. It's hard to tell in the photo but Xena's is large but kind of brownish/olivey colored. Luna's is of course the smallest. That makes me happy because that means if I want to hatch more Rouens, I know which eggs to use. The others would be a Rouen/Khaki mix and a Rouen/Mallard mix. We will see how the coloring holds up or if it will change.

Kiki? In your opinion, in an incubator, which type of turner is better?
This one? Looks like the eggs lay on their sides?

Or this one. Looks like they are more upright?

Does it really matter or make a difference?

As long as the eggs get turned, it really doesn't matter. Some people think that shipped eggs do better upright because of keeping detached air cells at the top of the egg.

I would prefer the bottom one but only because that is what I know.
