I may have gotten on here in the middle of an awkward topic

. I do know shipped wont' last long. We did frozen semen for our Australian Shepherd and it came in it's own frozen shipping container to the vet. Not sure how fresh chilled is shipped, but must be in a timely manner. i believe overnight. Do they ship chicken sperm?

So Ron is recieving illect sperm in the mail?? are we paying for it in bitcoins? ( Ok, for those of you who are into the nefarious dark web, I'm imagining selling verboten sperm on silk road now! we could make our own marketplace black farm! Silkie road!)

Not Me....Jason is looking into it.

She's beautiful! I used to have a blue Isbar girl and I miss her. She was a friendly little thing and laid beautiful green eggs.

Okay I am sold anything that pretty that lays a colored egg....WOW.!!!!

Did you watch the video? She did a good job demonstrating!

She was working with small boys. Can you imagine getting sperm from my big Langshan Shang?! That would be a video to see!

it looks easy to gee the hen at least lol.

Ok, tight fit but this is got in there. The laying down ones are chiqitas muscovies. I shouldn't have put the Lav am/Marans cross in but I couldn't stop once I started

I have never hatched duck eggs only chicken, turkey & lotsa quail. I didn't know you could hatch them together. I thought ducks needed way more humidity. Good luck on your hatch.....

Thank you sewandgrow. We'll see how it goes. My brinsea book says chickens 40-50 and ducks 45-55 so I'm trying to keep it about 48. Read a great thread on BYC for muscovies. I hope it works well, we want to see little ducks pop out.

Can we call the one who inseminates the hens the "HENSEMENATOR" ?!?!

They hatch just like chickens--Pekin based ducks take longer though and the take three days from pip to hatch...Quite nerve wracking.....
