BYC's 14th Annual New Year's Day Hatch-Along - 2023

[AmeraucanaHank]

I wish I could join (especially since New years is my B-day!) but family says not till spring.

I set some pekin duck eggs on the incubator yesterday. A few days early I suppose. Then again, my last hatch took a few days longer than normal. Maybe I’ll get some new-years ducklings.

I do want to do this…at least one time…it would just not work here for me in my climate to have babies in the bitter cold of northern NY…

My rooster is only 4 months old. At the end of this month he will be 5 months. I think I will be out of luck. Maybe if he fertilizes eggs, next month, I will have some to set with some shipped eggs I will get on the 19th of Jan.

I did let the 2 ducklings from HAL HAL out of the brooder today for freedom in the subaviary!
