1 chicken egg today - I usually get two, one from each chicken. I think Shiela is moving her nest again. As soon as she finds Sheenas, she will steal it and go broody on it, even though I have no rooster.
2 duck eggs. I have another 3 in the cupboard, Im storing them up until my NEW INCUBATOR comes in the mail. Im worried its been so hot they might start but I'll just play it by ear. Ive only ever incubated with home made contraptions before, cant wait to do this. Ive waited for my duck babies for 6 years, I know the eggs are getting fertilized, now its time to see if I can get these babies past 3 weeks and into the world!
Id like to have a chat sometime about cross breeding because Im not convinced mine can successfully. Im also not convinced my Drake is the one doing the fertilizing...Hes so very slow and so many eggs are fertilized. The one duck Im not sure of, she breeds the other girls, but also lets the drake breed HER. If she was a drake she wouldnt would she(he)?
