Still cold here..It's -25C

-20 Celsius here, so I guess you have it worse.

I'm doing better. My husband is being an ass and on top of that he had a minor wreck in my brand new car. It's just been a rough few weeks.
The weather is getting better here, which makes me happy.

I hope you are doing good and all is well up there.

Yikes..I hope things get better soon..

The wind is really bad today. It will strip the skin off your face in seconds. I definitely would prefer something warmer. It isn't supposed to stick around too long and than it will warm up to the the 20's, or around -6 Celsius. That's warmer to me.

These chicks are so tiny....It's strange just how small they are..

It's supposed to start warming up by Monday

It’s in the 70s here today. I’m still sick. I got my first duck egg yesterday. How long can they be stored and still be viable? I don’t plan to hatch any this year, last year was too disappointing-but I may offer eggs at our local farm swap.
I want to hatch speckled sussex/easter egger chicks. If I can find where my dang hens are laying!


On a brighter note, I’m getting TWO grand babies this year!

I only store my eggs for 10 days that I'm going to incubate.
Congrats Grandma....

Generally after 10 days viability starts to fall off. You do need to store them correctly. Fat end up in a egg carton, set at about 30 degrees at one end, put a book under one side, and rotate the end up daily. Temperatures between 50-75 are best.

You have been sick a long time?
