I have no idea, this is my first experience with hatching duck eggs. The pip on the first egg is getting fairly large. It's my understanding it can take two days from pip to hatch. Everything is actually due tomorrow.

I am excited too......................

One of the Dorking X pullets laid an egg today! The eggs are, from left to right, Dorking X, SG Dorking, Dorking EE, Partridge Rock(for mike to compare to his) and Blue Marans. Now I need to get the first egg from the Partridge Pene.....

I cant wait to get eggs from my Marans. They are really enchanting. That color! Idk If you remember Ron, but i crossed thé first rooster you gave me with thé RIR. I got one pullet from that cross. Shes got Blue feet and à fifth toe. Shes been squating for me when i pick her up. Im excited to see her egg.

Hello!  There are a bunch of us up here.  Maybe we should put together a little gathering?

I'd be down for a State of Jefferson meet. Such a big area it would be difficult to find a central location that isn't too far, though.

I'd love for a meet up closer to Redding. Driving 3+ hours is quite rough right now.

Fairly painlessly I just handed over two of my three roos to a nice cowboy in front of BOA. I didn't ask their destiny...I'm not sure i want to know.

Did you Craiglist them? My friend still has not found anyone to take her two aggressive roosters. I've asked everyone I know who hunts and no one wants to bother. I think they are all too used to deer. Thinking about putting an ad in for her.

Maybe Mt. Shasta?

Tilled the garden today. The chickens were going crazy over all the worms etc. We're getting ready for spring DH bought me a rototiller for a early Valentines day present. LOL, so far a presents over the last few years... I've gotten a lawn mower, a leaf blower, weadeater, and shop vac. I love getting useful gifts that make my chores easier. Who needs cut flowers, jewelry and chocolate
