Where did you get him/her from? I would love to see a picture. As far as I know only the large fowl was imported. Now the genes for small might have just lined up right that yours hatched out tiny. If so then you have the first and I would think that making it a project to breed more of them like that would be well received.

My temp spiked to 104*. I won't admit how, but I will say that I am not worried. It was only a few hours (probably three. Maybe four) and as one article said, "ducks are easy to hatch as they are more forgiving of temperature variations ".

Well that s a relief. Keep up the good news. my babies depend on this kind of special reporting

Something like , even the hatching dummies who have no idea what they are doing can hatch a duck. It's that easy.

When you we want to have the first random post contest?

For the prize, should it be a BYC calendar or Golden Feather membership?

Just my 2 cents worth- the GF membership

I am still tinkering on my incubator. May not get it all set for this hatch but I am tagging along to keep motivated.

Sounds good!

I will go to a random numbers generator site and get a post number and let you all know the range. I will also update the contest section on the first post of this thread and announce it here.

Gonna be fun!

I'm going to have to bow out for this years hatch. Things just aren't working out and I don't have the time right now to take the proper care if baby chicks.

I'll still to watching everybody else though.

HAPPY HATCHING!

But, so love that you know when it's best..not..to hatch. Come spring..when your girls are laying, then you can do the Easter HAL...and, you can send me some pretty eggs.

I'm a beginner so it is golden comets x SPCA adopted purported leghorn rooster (Foghorn). this summer hens from this match laid tons of super nice medium brown eggs.

12 each in 2 LG's, one still air, one circulated.

I have a fitness tracker now so I have been working on getting 10,000 steps in every day. Progress has been slow though.

I just got an email from prevention magazine that said I could walk off my belly fat by Jan 3!

I do suspect that I will have to cut out the Holiday baking though.

....Off to make ANZACs cookies....
