Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[clousert]

Thanks!
I will do exactly what you have suggested, and take pictures as soon as there is something to see. Today is day 24. I will check for internal pips.  

I was just thinking.... were you the one that had the lower (less than 99.5) temp in your incubator during incubation? I can't remember who it was. If so, they may take slightly longer to hatch.

Yes 99.5 and slightly longer by hours or days? No pips yet. No bad smell either.

99.5 is perfect so they should be in line to hatch on time. If it's lower they can take longer depending on how much lower it is. If it's higher they can come early. When you say no pips are you talking internally or that they haven't pipped through the shell? Are they still alive and moving inside the eggs?

Oh my goodness cuteness overload!!! I went to the Volusia County Fair today. They had one call duck, several Anconas. NONE were for sale or I would have bought them all! There were lavenders, blues, AND tris. I died a little lol.

The Call duck was SO TINY!!!! I can't wait until mine hatch!!!!

Have all 7 of mine together now. They are SO CUTE!

MY GOOD NESS LOOK AT THAT TINY LITTLE STINKER....

Oh the one is definitely blue. I am about 85% confident.

The older one I thought was white may be chocolate or blue, there is faint color on both beak and feet.

The little ones that look white are starting to show darker spots. I don't want to hold my breath but I'm thinking silver or lavender.

Nice, I always wonder if the Blues had a weak gene or something I've hatched out three and they didn't survive, got really weak and died, strange but it's the only color that I have not ben able to get to live long.

Awww. I love that little one with the spots on his head. So cute. The calls are very small. The bodies of my adult females aren't much bigger than my hand. And the males aren't much bigger

WOW GORGEOUS!!

43 HOLLY COW!!!

Lol. Make sure to share pictures. Always thought about getting button quails but not sure what I'd do with them lol

Some of my friends want me to get into Buttons, but from what I understand they have to stay in the house, can't have that, I have a cat who seems to enjoy killing if it's in the house... Lost some Gambels because of her. GRRRRRR

Are all six calls??
