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

Question on this poll so I can decide if I need to change my vote - and so I can further complicate this thread!

Are you asking for the date you have a full, completely-free-of-the-shell duckling? One o them or both? Are you counting which day they pip or actual hatch, because although I know you don't want to hear this, it's not an instantaneous process - it can take a day or so from starting to finishing....

Inquiring minds....

That's what I've been trying to tell you for the last year. The first time I saw veins growing in an egg, something broke in me and I've never been quite sane since.

Maybe because egg W's namesake is a narc-er?

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!! Banty, this had me !!!!!!

True, so true. ...

How about we guess when they will start this nightmare of a process.
The pip.

Dear sweet baby jeebus.

I just made a half pot of coffee and HAVE to read through the 660+ posts here. There goes my day! This thread is fan-frickin'-tabulous.

Kik, your setup is so wonderfully ghetto. I just love it! I bought that same Walmart thermometer/hygrometer for my recent hatch, and for 8 bucks it was quite a steal. The only thing is--and apologies if someone already posted this or you already figured it out--it only reads in whole numbers. So if you need , say, 99.5, forget it. You have to hover somewhere at 99 or 100 and just cross your fingers.

I will leave y'all with this treat, to balut-start your day. (If you haven't seen it yet, it is a work of pure art.) Enjoy.

I can not believe I am ghetto
Do I win a prize?

@pitbullmomma I was so worried I might lose power and end up with eggs in my shirt.
Reminds me of you! Even though you had real live fluffy pooper in your shirt!
