Kim...I read every single post in this thread. I just don't RETAIN all of it.

Karen, my favorite chicken neighbor, do you have Dorkings?

I called you & left a message yesterday as soon as I read your post asking for them. I sold mine last summer when I was cutting way back. Lim was my biggest hope for you. I was in contact with Craig Russell about getting some but he was ill & he is elderly so I never heard back. He was going to call be & get me going with some Reds but I haven't heard from him & have been worried about calling hom back.
 
I hope Jason had some hatch. I have all but two eggs out. They are very cute!

I hope I see a Duck picture from Chrissy soon.

I did get a video of one of the Dels hatching last night.

half of our whole **** order

for the remaining chicks, have you given them vitamins? save-a-chick or poly-vi-sol (no iron) or whatever? i had a chick recently who had lots of trouble just after hatching, weak and gaping -- and vitamins solved the problem entirely. it does sound like your shipment just got too cold, but vitamins can't hurt and might help!

I like the Poly- Vi- Sol someone hear recommended the nutridrench . I have tried that but like the poly -vi-sol better its easier to give the chicks and they seem to respond to it better.
 
Congrats. I have never tried to hatch duck eggs. Perhaps one day. Hope your hatch goes well.
Thank you. So far 3 external pips. The one i had worried most about is one of them, so we're good over here.

Nice video. So how many do you have now?

Oh I think i'm hearing noise from my Incubator now.
Ron, do i need to worry about the fan on them. I'm figuring not, but since ducks take longer it crossed my mind.
 
I am tentatively going to be headed to Reno 1st week of April, I wouldn't mind delivering chicks or eggs to you @nikki1496 if you could meet me there. My friend I'm going with lives in Sacramento.

They did fine with the fan when I hatched them.

Two did not hatch. One was dead in the shell and the other is still alive and going. I have 17 hatched out of 19
