Different calcification bumps on eggs are normal to the chicken at times. If they pass the 7 day test don't worry.

I assume you mean the 7th day 'sniff' test? These calcifications weren't there when I set the eggs. I'm a lil worried.

I am probably going to get a young trio or quad, it depends what he has. I am getting them from xlboergoat (he isn't on here often) and from what I understand his are very nice. He lives 6 hours from me but is going to be at a show that is only 2 hours away. I'm very excited!

I am SOOO jealous! I've got ONE white Marans pullet all alone... Someday.

I wont be able to get any eggs until spring. We have no place for them right now (before buying any animal we always have the proper place for them and a place to buy feed.  but i will PM you when I should want to buy some!

What a clever idea. I really must try it sometime.

Sounds good, that is a good habit to get into. : )


OMGoodness! I just put my 5 ducklings up on Craigslist (sad!!), and I just got a text and here is what it said: Do you have pics...and do u have to bottle feed ducks"     Um, I'm not sure if I feel comfortable selling my ducklings to this person. Humm... They have to pass the "Duck Test" before I sell them by babies! LOL

I asked them if they'd ever raised any type of poultry/waterfowl before...Nope! I told them if they have a a local TSC go visit with them and they'll fix you up with duck supplies, and I also gave them a link to BYC. I told them when they get READY for ducklings to give me a holler. I'd have some more for sale NYD. : )

Quote: Than I have no knowledge of that. i am sorry. Hopefully someone else does.

You might want to examine one of the eggs and do an eggtopsy for educational purposes so others can learn from your experience. i would like to learn about something different I have never heard of.

You should inform him that bottle fed ducks are extremely rare, so rare that this is the first time you have ever heard of them.

I know, right! It's actually kind of sad. It kind of reminds me of the time a lady I sold some chicks to, got worried because she wasn't sure she had any milk on hand to feed the babies.....
