Ok, now I am getting jealous and impatient! I set mine on the 11th and none of them seem to be in the mood to arrive early! Congrats everyone, they are popping like popcorn here today.

It always happens like this. We will have a lot of hatching to come. We are seeing the early ones--those that set early and ducks. Ducks always hatch early for me.

Electricity is back on! Yay! Checked bator and it didn't drop a single degree. So hatching continues...

Adorable!

What kind of ducks are they?

Good question

My sister has 10 ducks, 5 male and 5 female. That's why I am hatching these 10, so hopefully she can get up to 10 females and keep 1 or 2 males.

Anyway, of the 10 ducks these eggs came from, they are Blue Sweedish, and brown and khaki campbell (not sure on the spellings of those).

So, what I have hatching could be a mix of any of those.

I've been trying to find a good picture of a black tailed buff marans to see if that could be what you are thinking of. Not sure what they look like.

Marans have white skin... that pic shows yellow shanks and feet...

I love mixes! You never know what you're gonna get!

They just looked tiny like my Calls so had to ask...

I am trying to get caught up here, but every time I think I have read the last post, I look down and see notifications for new posts! You are all a very talkative bunch.

Congrats to all those with pips, zips, peeps and hatches!

I have 13 in lockdown - 11 Svarthöna and 2 project eggs.

Everyone keeps talking about silkies. I have 2 silkie eggs left in the bator that are looking good, due to hatch a week from now. They're all that's left from a dozen shipped eggs (plus one iffy cochin)

I'm really hoping they make it. I'm dying for a couple really fluffy silkies!

Now it is zipping!almosy out!!

I can't wait to see a picture!

Ugh, my mother, father and sister-in-law(s) are visiting and its difficult to hover over the 'bator with 3 other people standing there! Maybe a little selfish of me, but get outta the way folks

Me too!

We have company over for dinner and I am off doing BYC....Bad Me....
