OhEmGee! The pictures are killing me! Mostly new here, have 28 calls in the incubator right now in a staggered hatch, first set due in a week.

I have snowies and pastel, but they drop their eggs all over the yard, at what age can they be differentiated.

First swim/water therapy for the yellow one who was malpositioned in the egg with his foot over his head and has splay leg. Im supplimenting niacin in their water and had him in a bandaid splint and its worked tremendously. While he absolutely hates the splint and has a hard time getting around, ive seen major improvement and dont even think ill need to use it again. I believe it's crucial to treat splay leg as soon as you notice it especially when theyre young like this and recover so quickly because they're growing so fast.

Also the gray is a ball of energy! So spunky and excited about everything. Running and falling and jumping and tumbling and even at just two days old he was doing the "dive underwater like a torpedo" thing

I am getting an antique bath tub for my Calls! So excited! I've seen some cute ideas with them. When I get it I will post pics!! They'll have to climb a pretty high ramp though............

GASP!! CUTE PRECIOUS WEBBEDNESS SMALLNESS.

So of the three fertile eggs, all hatched!!! Thats a 100% hatch rate for my calls I've learned so much from BYC In the 8 years I've been here
I used Pyxis' assisted hatching method and followed WVduckchick's humidity guidelines.

I was very excited to see what my white drake on my grays would produce... more white and grays

Should I apologize for the fluffy spam...?

Adorable ducklings! That is very interesting that they would produce more of the same colors. When they're feathers start coming in they might have a few specially colored feathers that indicate they're mixed colors. I bet they'll be beautiful.

I can't wait 'til mine hatch. It'll be my first time raising and owning calls.
