We have 10 call ducklings in the hatcher so far....hope we get a few more.

30 so far and rolling...my ducks just started laying again after the "Moltathon" we had going here, so we're picking up momentum again here and the incubating is going much better than with the early eggs.​

Do black east indies incubate as long as calls? Ive got 14 in the incubator and they are about 2 weeks along now.

Okay I am home

I just don't like leaving home not even to go to the darn store, just for nothing, LOL, but I am back home, so here we go with the a few pictures

Okay, going to get the babies all tucked in for the night,

Congratulation duckluck, you go girl,

I swapped feed, was told by neighbor who went and picked it up for me that it was better than the feed I was using, and just happen to find a tag, and oh sweet heavens, it is now where even close to as good of feed as I was using and now my bunch has BUCKED on me and dropped egg production DRASTICALLY, ewwwwwww just makes me mad for being Niave and listening to people

I so got to break the TRUSTING habit I have, and I do mean QUICK

Swapping feed can do that too, though...even going to a better feed rapidly can induce a molt.

LORD, you all, I am a addict and need to go to CALL DUCKS ANNOUYMOUS

I have just got on ebay for no good reason to see what was going on with the duck egg sales, just courious and done bid and won 6 auctions one for choc, one for grey, one for white, one for pied, one for grey and choc, and another grey,

and then turned around and bid on one for 60 CALL EGGS

I have straight lost my marbles

, but they are just so addictive

I have bought silkies, and cochins, and bantams this year to JUST get broody hens just to put eggs under, my husband bless his heart, (I WOULD NOT PUT UP WITH ME FOR 2 MINUTES IF I WAS A MAN)

, but my husband just said, Linda what is going on with all this chicken adding, we are ZEAGLERDUCKFARM, not ZEAGLERPOULTRYSOCIETY,

I said Baby, I know but my sportsmen top rack is full of Copper eggs, call eggs, turkey eggs, 2nd tray TOTAL RACK guinea eggs 5 dozen, third rack has Chicken eggs, duck eggs, turkey eggs, and honey all five of the hovabators are full with call and duck eggs, and I ask you sweetheart could I buy that guys Dickey incubator and you said NO MORE INUCBATORS, so I bought CHICKENS,

sweetheart I did what you said, NO MORE INCUBATORS, now you can't fuss at me about this, because you did not say NO MORE CHICKENS,

all he could do is turn around and walk off, he did not even EXHALE,

but, I want push my luck, and NO MORE CHICKENS,

got to figure a new plot for incubation now

somebody send the PATTY WAGON and STRAIGHT JACKET, tell them to bring some HALDOL and THORIZINE, there is DUCK ADDICT fruit cake at my address

LoL Linda, you know you live "close" enough to FL tat hatching and driving them across the boarder might work to sneak them in!

 

[linda_zeagler31002]

LORD, don't tell me you wanting me to sneak them over to you now two, LOL, I am already in hot water, oh honey I just bought 3 Trio and 3 pair and 3 extra from FL. LOL, Roy told the guy he would drive to pick them up within 2 weeks, that he knew about, I awoke him SAT. morning to tell him I had found some great calls to add to our babies, and he said really, I said yeah and I called the person, and he made me a great deal, and told him the great deal, he said okay, and I said will you go pick them up for me, he said sure baby, LOL, girl I have a terrific husband, just outstanding, and NO you can't have him, LOL, it is just me and him, the kids are grown and gone, and the two granddaughters come oh about twice a year, so we have to keep each other occupied and busy, WHAT BETTER WAY THAN DUCK ADDICTION, LOL
