Congrats on the little ones all starting.

My seven are all going well.. I was intersest to see how the large egg that I originally thought may have been a doble yolker will go- the veined area on that egg is huge - and the embryo is noticeably larger too.

My female Cocoa went broody around the begining of May (don't know the exact day) so I will join your hatch too!

I have been scared to pick up the eggs and candle them so far. Should I do it soon or can I just not do it?

Mine are on day 10 - out of 14, 2 had blood rings and one never developed. But 11 remaining look fantastic, and the embryos have eyes visible and are swimming around like crazy!

Hey Everybody!! Sounds like things are going really well overall! How fun!

We are on day 10 and it looks like I may have just the two Butterscotch Calls developing. I am waiting longer on the Blacks because the eggs are fairly dark, but I am pretty sure I am making out a blood ring in one, and that makes me think I should be seeing veining in the others, so I am not hopeful about those. I threw out the Butterscotch eggs that had blood rings or showed no development day before yesterday. I cracked them, just to be sure that I was seeing what I thought I was seeing, and was totally right.

The two that are going are really active though! If I wasn't so inexperienced I would swear one had twins because it looks like two embryos moving seperate from one another. I am still really worried about the membranes because they are certianly detached in even the developing eggs, it is really obvious. So I don't know. I am keeping my fingers crossed, and with how active the embyos seem, am hoping they are strong enough to overcome. I am nervous, that if they do develope, the hatch will be hard and I may have to help. Never having done it before I am just afraid that I would make the wrong call and help too soon because I am expecting trouble, or help too late from not wanting to help too soon....or that I would simply help wrong. Also, my local feed stores are starting to wrap up the chick days and it is next to impossible to find ducklings anymore. What am I going to do if only one hatches? Where would I find a day or two old duckling on such short notice? Yeah, I guess I'm stressing a little...Ha Ha Ha.

I am so happy to hear about everyone's little duckies! quail kid~ That is great! 6/6! So cool!

I can't wait to hear how they all go!
