Does the picture of the broody hen have to be a broody hen sitting on egs for this hatch?? This is my broody "Prim", in the process of raising her brood...

Aw, I can't wait until I get a broody hen! None of mine have ever, and I have Cochins and had silkies

I should og candle, im curious to see how many are fertile! especially since Bhep's silkie eggs that i bought were stuck in the mail for a whole week

how were the cells?

I skipped so many pages and I give up trying to keep up. I stopped at the page about wanting ducks. I recomend Muscovy's. I simply love them. The meat is unbeatable. They grow fast and do extreemly well on free range. I butcher out at full feather. That is usually 12-14 weeks. They usually weigh around 5-8lbs dressed. I ferment the feed so it cost less to fed out and they grow a little faster. They have more dark meat ,are good mothers and hatch huge clutches.




These ducklings are 12 weeks old. (Drake in the middle)

Do you sell hatching eggs? I think your on the same side of the country as us lol!

I candled my Silver Pencilled Wyandotte Bantams, and BLRW I have ATLEAST 5 out of maybe 15 growing, and atleast 1 of 4 BLRW developing... But Time will tell.

where they shipped? how were the cells, sorry if you already mentioned, but I can NOT follow nor remmeber all this!

Wow, I'm all caught up. It took me long enough since I had other things to do.

I don't get how everyone is seeing development already. I checked a few of mine last night and didn't see anything, except that I might have a rotten egg in there. It's acting weird. Haven't checked the seramas, it's still too early for that.
