4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

[Cynthia12]

So I was not able to get online pretty much from Friday afternoon until Sunday. It took me from Sunday till just now to FINALLY catch up!

Oh, so you've been on the computer for how long now this morning? You must have been up since 5 a.m.!

 

[Cynthia12]

Here's what we woke up to this morning, and it's still coming down..can hardly see the big coop and run.


My little Golden R. pup. She loves it of course.

Where's the coop and run? How much would you say that is
right there on the porch hand rail.

Had to add one of our apple tree out front.

Oh boy, Cynthia, that's headed our way. Predicting 8-10 inches in Iowa Wednesday night - Thursday. Glad I'll be on vacation!

Yup, fiancee gets up at 4:45 and wakes me at 5 to make his breakfast.

How come you hand turn on their sides the Scovy eggs...I assume it's the same answer as the goose eggs. This is my first hatch....and I only did chicken eggs...cause I wasn't sure my Scovy drake was old enough to do his job.....

Ummm...I would've told them that ducklings like Tequila.....but then..I'm evil.

Good Morning all!! Hope everyone has a great day.

And I pulled over a dozen eggs last night....these are from my birds. I am checking fertility on them. Nothing on the Sizzles

Hens are laying great ...rooster obviously not doing his job, SLACKER !!!
Phoenix just started laying again...the 1st 5 eggs were clear...that rooster obviously got it together.

Pulled 2 tiny pullet eggs from my Silkies..the rest are going strong.

ALL in ALL not surprised with my results and I am happy with what I have.

Plus... I added Legbar eggs and White Orp eggs just a few days ago.

Ugh, I'm sorry you had to chunk some eggs, Beth! That's no fun. Legbar eggs....mmmmmm

You are making me cold!!

Its very pretty!

I candled! (My kitchen is in the middle of my house so it's DARK in there!) All of the white eggs have veins and even some heartbeats (I assume). The light tan eggs I can see veins in...the darker tan eggs...I think that's veins....the marans and Wellie eggs...well..none of them stink....

When I incubated Muscovy eggs I think I laid them on their side's, and just incubated them the same as duck eggs.
