Perhaps I missed you mention it earlier, but what breed is it? Do you know?

Looks like a little Australorp, Wyandotte or Barred Rock to me. <3 Can't wait to see her when she dries!

Adorable!!!!

It's a mystery... I have no idea, farmers market eggs
2 eggs I'm really hoping hatch are 3/4 EE 1/4 red sex link ( however sex links work...)

Okay, good news!

Update on the duckling hatching situation:

"Well the two duckies weren't waiting around I was chatting away to my husband and one of them dived out the egg followed a few mins later by the second the first still hasn't absorbed all the yolk so lay there for a good few hours the other was pushing itself around the Bator knocking the other egg all over that egg now has a blood bruise

but he's still wiggling so I'm hopefull, the two ducklings are now in the brooder and one is fairly strong but sleepy the other is much weaker I sent my husband to the farm store and picked up some nutri drench which they've both had and the stronger one has even had some duck starter crumb mixed with a little water now only time will tell if they make it"

The second one has now absorbed all of the yolk and they're waiting for number 3 to zip and number 1 getting its strength up.

Ok so no ducks eggs available yesterday.

now, I must confess, as I had in my mind that I was setting duck eggs, & I had the new bator, & 110 !!!! Chicken eggs sitting there getting older & OLDER.
I kinda put 62 chicken eggs in the bator at midnight last night ; /

I AM still doing the New Years Day Hatch Along -- I'll be using the older bator for that, & I still have half the eggs from 2 other ppl, plus my gals are really getting into laying, I now have 1 pullet & 4 hens by the colors, so I have already got 6 FRESH eggs that didn't go into the bator last night , waiting w/ half the older eggs for Dec 11...

So by the end of the weekend I'll have the old bator (or maybe both of them...hum the possiblitites...) all disinfected and ready to plug.

(Meanwhile the new LG 9200 got all 62 eggs up to temp & has been holding them at temp.like dream, like a dream that I should replace those other really old used bators for less hassle & more chicks.)

> Congrats to all the test hatch new chicks & the NYDH Duck egg setters (who MUST post pics when you have chicks

Too bad none of you are local that want eggs. I have plenty. A little dirty but they are still good.

I set the eggs today. It may not be for NYD but good luck to everyone else!
