It is nice to see you here!I didn't join the hatch a long but I did put eggs in the incubator on the 12th and a couple more on the 13th. I had 9 eggs in that didn't do anything. Out of 21 eggs I have babies growing in 8. Candling is amazing! All others have been removed from the incubator. Today I have to remove the turner which doesn't work and put them on lockdown. I'm super excited! My roosters are young and have started dancing with the girls so to speak. I'm sure a lot of the eggs just weren't fertilized. No growth whatsoever. I think 8 is a good number though. It's going to be fun trying to figure out"who's your daddy?". I have 2 Bielefelder roos and an Azure Egger who we call Mack Daddy cause he gets all the ladies. The eggs in the incubator come from my Easter Egger hens. I'm so happy to be able to follow along.
So jealous that these are your "dirty" duck eggs! They're gorgeous!!!View attachment 2944478Locked down! These Welsh Harlequin duck eggs are due to hatch on Jan 2nd.
I've been having a few early birds the past couple hatches, so I might have pics on Saturday after all. (I don't know if it's the incubator running hot, or a duck hen doing the "broody practice" thing where they sit for a while, then lose interest, giving the stealth nest ones a head start.)
This is the first time I've set unsanitized eggs. I changed my practice because I want to be like @AgnesGray when I grow up.
