Wait what did I miss, where did the name narco come from?

She was falling asleep quickly.

I don't know how you could possibly tell if they're "white layer" offspring or Pekin. I had presumed white layer because the seller is producing eggs so wouldn't they get a commercial layer type? But, it's also possible the egg supplier is selling both balut and Pekin ducklings (popular for meat use, right?)

I don't think pekins are particularly prolific layers so it might be hard to have a pekin laying operation to produce lots of balut on a weekly basis. I'm voting white layer as more likely. Memory escapes be, but I believe that's what Metzer uses for balut production as well.

Omg they are so cute

 

[Kiki]

Can you tell them apart?

How many more are out now?

None yet. We broke some shell off the first pipper because it’s a really hard shell, and the veins have receded so it’s ready to hatch. It just doesn’t know how. The others haven’t done much progress, but I can feel them trying.

Is the puppers going to drown in his jail or did they stop the leak?

They stopped it but I could hardly keep my eyes open. I managed to see the duckies and then i conked out. Almost call in at work to get more sleep but my flocks gotta eat.

I just finally closed my eyes and I heard a woodpecker...woke me right up.
