Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[Amykins]

Yep seperated!

WOO!

Now I just have to worry about whether or not they'll survive the trip ;; Even with a heat pack, that high altitude and turbulence isn't gonna do the poor things any favors...

when the chicks or young ducks are flown out are they not in a pressurized setting, as in the baggage compartment? Crap.

I assume not. I've never heard of a mail plane that pressurizes its cargo hold.

oh doh, a mail carrying plane didn't occur to me. For some reason I was imagining a passenger plane carrying the little ducks in the luggage compartment under the cabin. Sheesh.

Angovem, just curious: Is this about that teacher jerk who doesn't know how to hatch eggs? Is HE the one that has 20% humidity?

Sounds like the jerky teacher actually knows something about hatching..

Yes he had between 20 and 30% during incubation and now has it at 60% for lockdown.

Very good settings. Yep he does know something...

EEEE that's amazing! Are the chocos still separated so we know they're pure?

PURE?? taken a call with a call and having them together is still a call, no matter what color they are. they may not be mixed in colors but it's still a pure..

Chocolate calls are mega rare. Almost as rare as straight-up blue or black calls. As in, not bibbed or pied. So yes, I want them to be pure chocolate call ducks.

Only after having a fight with him on day 7 of incubation because he did not measure humidity and just put water in at all times and put the eggs in the turners wrong. After that I printed out the inst. on your website and taped it next to his incubator and bought him a hydrometer.

My personal opinion its incorrect wording. Chocolate is a color not a pure. you have to take two colors to get that color. I have Zero chocolates in my flock but guess what I have a Chocolate Bibbed wonder how that happened. So its not that its "not pure" its more like solid color.

I get very offended when I get people who email me asking me if my flock is pure especially with my Silkies... My silkie coop has blue, blacks and splash. So are they consider UN-PURE? My paints have Black and Paints, are they UN-PURE? Well if I didn't add those colors in my coop the Paints would loose there Spots and the Splash color would fade away. I would have funny looking silkies. They probably would all end up being White..

I'm just saying I feel more comfortable if it was asked: "so your chocolates are separated to get that SOLID Color". instead of "so they are PURE"... Just my personal opinion..

I personally like getting different color ducklings, adds to the adventure of how will they look when they grow up.
