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

The ducks are quiet.
I'm feeling the nervousness coming on by the second.

They are resting- getting ready for the big break

Quiet is ok. They are resting. They are going to have to make big moves soon.

I JUST HEARD A PEEP!

It has to be soon by now huh?
It's been over 24 hours.

Your brave.
No way in the world I would leave unknown eggs under a broody if I had one.
I'd be scared they'd explode.

In all honesty, we really don’t need these chicks so that’s why I didn’t even bother separating her. I’m just tired of her broodiness.

Seriously, turn it into your multi-egg candling box, then it can go in the bator room.

It has one little bitty, what do you call those things that plug in...shoot...NIGHTLIGHT! bulb in it.
I could probably Macgyver it to work the way I want it too.
This is a great idea but I don't think the Mex is going to let me destroy his priceless gift.

How long do you think ducklings stay quiet?
A few months before they start making real duck noises?

Oh lord no. Especially if they are girls. Our girls were obnoxiously quacking by two months, and it’s been non stop chattering from the first day we brought them home. Throwing them out with the chickens was the best decision we ever made.

Take another video so we can see them please I am dying here.
My sciatica is bothering me today and I can't do anything but lay on the floor.. this is my entertainment for the day

Neither did I, but just like the wonders of Vic's vapor rub, the fear of the almighty chancla(slipper), and all of the suspect concoctions I've consumed over the years in claims of being a cure all, I don't question my mother. I just let it go, it's safer for my mental health.

On another note, my grandmother (mom's mom) is apparently sending me a statue of some saint that I'm supposed to place (I kid you not) upside down, until he brings me a man. So at least she comes by her crazy honestly.

You said you were Italian? (Sorry, trying to keep up I’m confusing people.) If it’s you and that’s the Italian side of the family that explains it all!
St. Anthony will be at your door soon.

Is it only Hispanic grandmas that are weird or are other breeds just as weird?

Yes! See above—

Yes ma'am.
Am doing it RIGHT now just for you.

I am laying on the floor too!


real quick before I go make the video.
This morning when I woke up my arms where a little sore.
I couldn't figure out why at first then remembered all the laying on the floor yesterday included some planks.
