2014 New York Chickenstock

[horsekeeper]

For the chickenstock, $5 and they would be about a month old so I think they will be big enough to not need a heat lamp if they are inside. That means you do not need to buy six. I only have 9 pekins in the brooder, the other 3 are muscovy. I wanted to keep some of them, so if you just want a few, that would work out great.

3 of them would be great if you don't mind parting with 3 of them.

are these full grown ducks or baby ducks?

They will be close to 4wks for the picnic. Adults are considerably more and only sold in pairs in the fall. I MAY have some day olds for the picnic if I can get the incubators emptied out soon enough.

Does anyone coming to Tab want to sell me blown out duck, goose or other interesting eggs? Willing to pay. Need them for 4H project and Christmas ornaments.

I'll give you some blown out turkey and ducks eggs. I'm not going to sell them. I'd feel guilty charging for empty eggs. I was going to blow some out anyways for myself so I can put some a side for you. How many do you want?

Is there an easy way to do this? I tried a couple of years ago with because I wanted really looking easter eggs that I could leave out without throwing them out each year and without them going bad. I managed to make two and I remember it being not so easy to do.

I know this isn't bird related but I am trying to rehome my one hamster is anyone is interested, if anyone is they can send me a PM for more info on her and what she comes with.
I'm also having a hard time not getting any more chickens Got 12 now so I'm not sure if I'm done or not, probably should be but a lot of these seem to amazing.

Quote: You have to make one of the holes slightly bigger, this is the hole the egg comes out of. You need to also break the yoke and scramble it a bit before blowing, I use a long pin for this. I then use a syringe and needle to get it started either by trying to suck some out that way or forcing water into the egg. One of the eggs I was doing the other night actually busted because the one hole wasn't big enough and the water increased the pressure too much in the egg and it went pop. After you get the first bit out, it's normally pretty easy to blow out the rest. If you have a lot to do I suggest using the syringe to flush most of the egg out because all that blowing will give you a headache. Just blow out the very last bit. Rinse out and then pop in the microwave for 30 seconds to dry and wa la! Blown egg.
