Haha it definitely surprised me!!! I was freaking out until the first one externally pipped enough so that I could see its beak. I was like "uh pointy does NOT equal duck" LOL.

It made sense then though hatching on day 19.

Can't wait to see the calls hatch. I hope all 3 of them make it!

OMG, wouldn't that be great if you ended up with what I had, a mallard, a bibbed and a chocolate. HAHAHA OMG. WHAT ARE THE ODDS???

Here's to hoping!!! Oh and just a heads up at least the one will need assistance. The air sac was apparently loose, so it is now stretched out long ways along the egg.

Okay first off I love these chickens. They have fuzzy feet and are adorable. I hope they are hens.

Second off, I need opinions. I am driving to my friends house 4 hours away on Saturday. She has some eggs that are due to hatch the 12th and 17th. She is wanting to give them to me. I have an incubator that will plug into the car, so that's not a problem. My question is, is that safe to do? I've done it with button quail before and they survived but it was only an hours drive not 4. Opinions appreciated.

4 hours WOW, you would have to keep them warm, MAIN thing, Get a heat pack or something to keep them warm until you get them home, the humidity isn't going to be a factor with that just keep them warm until you can get them in a stable situation and then proceed..

My incubator plugs into the car so I can put them straight into my incubator and keep them at the right temp. Just don't want to hurt the little guys!

Well I can't find the Chocolate Bibbed, Sassy didn't do a very good job at watching over him. GRRRRR. Now I'm down to the "magpie wanna a beee". I did find bloody paws behind the coop today so I'm not sure if a cat decided to make himself at home or what But I'm not a HAPPY CAMPER!!

So I had my Jack russel chase it out of the yard. GRRRRRR I'm sure it will be back. Sad part is I think it was one of my cats. GRRRRRRRRRRR
