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

What are you incubating first in it?

I don't know. Whatever starts laying first, I guess? This year I have plans for Japanese quail, Chinese painted quail, Peaches, Buff Chanteclers, Call ducks, and maybe some Partridge Chantecler/White Rock crosses to form a cockerel line to use on the Leghorn pullets I will be buying as chicks.

Can't wait to see everything you hatch!

I have a question for you that you probably can answer If I have a sebright rooster and he mates with my Delaware... Will their offspring be bantam?

I knew it. You're secretly a centipede.

In my experience, crosses between bantams and LF produce birds pretty much in between the size of the two.

Oh thank goodness!

I didn't want to have a bunch of mini chickens running around that sebright is the cockiest thing I've ever met. He struts his stuff like he's got it all!

I wanted to breed my polish with him, but she doesn't seem interested. She hasn't laid an egg yet either and I think she's close to 8 months old.

He’s new still. I’m sure she’ll get used to him!!

And some of my new pullets haven’t laid yet either. It’s the low light I think.

Mini chickens are the best, though! I keep thinking about abandoning my LF entirely in favour of my little dudes.

Me too, that's why I haven't done it yet.

She gave him the dirtiest luck yesterday when he started dancing around her. I busted out laughing and told him that he needs to come up with something better.

He was the first chicken to walk up to me this morning and I absolutely love him!

I had leftover noodles from last night that are made from chickpeas so I figured I would give them some of it and he jumped right on the bowl and started pigging out hes definitely a member of our flock now.
