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

Is this your subtle way of telling me to stay away? I mean if you don't want me to come just say it! Man you Wyomingites aren't welcoming at all.

Nothing against you personally, there just happens to be too many people here already. When greeting a newcomer, it used to be a common question to ask if the newcomer had remembered to lock the border behind them when they crossed it.

Oh that's funny! I was only kidding anyway. I could never convince the Hubs to run that far away with me and we're a package deal.

My garden was destroyed by hail the other day but it is still producing. I stopped by and the unauthorized incubator in the garden was talking quietly. I looked closer and could see an empty egg shell. Then I saw a poult in front of her. As she lifted up a little, I could see another poult just under her feathers. Then I was able to see a whole lot of little legs going every which way.

poult with a dill seed on its beak

Mama got off the nest to reveal 8 new poults and one half shelled egg that was nearly done zipping.

I collected the 8 to move them to the brooder.

Unauthorized incubator #3.

The egg that was partially zipped had a moving beak sticking out. It was partially shrink wrapped but alive. I popped the top of the egg off and removed the shrink wrap. I then put it under unauthorized incubator number one.

Is She going to be pissed that you took her babies?

More like forlorn and heartbroken. She still has 3 unhatched eggs so she is already back on the nest. I have been bitten, scratched and flogged at times when stealing the babies.

You need those football arm pad things.

You need those football arm pad things.

No just a jacket and gloves. The flogging on the back is sort of massage like but in the face is not so pleasant.
