Just to reply to all pertaining to me...

My grandmother tells people that she’s a great grandmother because she considers my chicken children as her great grandkids

Yup

So cute! Welcome to the thread!

I kiss my chickens and I’ve never gotten sick. I have bitten my nails for the past 15 years and I have a very strong immune system thank God.

I think I’m as chicken crazy as you are duck crazy!

Meh...just a new sex link cross created and patented by the hatchery. They’re just trying to cash in on their new find.

I’m not a fan of sex links

You showed cows? That sounds cool!

What she said!

So pretty

That’s great! You are a parent in a sense

LoL. Thank goodness you didn’t get 20 inches of snow.
Sorry. I’m just catching up on all my threads.
I’ll be home in 3 days! And I get Wendy and Albastru in 4 days!

Duck eggs are doing good! I candled on Wednesday, and out of 28, only one was infertile! All others showed great development. I had a temperature spike up to 105.6 degrees the other day, but I candled a couple more, and they seem to still be good. I am going to candle again tonight. In an hour it will be day 7. They are still in the carton though. Almost all the AC's have a dip down on either one or both sides. Should I keep going in the cartons? @WVduckchick

@Ashleymiller, I use paper towels over the wood shavings for the first week or 2. It is so much easier to clean and it keeps the ducklings from eating the bedding.

I don't bother after 24 hours...I have never had an issue and have raised over two hundred Ducklings...
