Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[ozexpat]

I'm monitoring for lock down

I hope your cracked egg makes it.

I think I seen an internal pip on the ducks, I lost track of what day it is, dont care when they come, just so they hatch!
most are showing no sign of draw down, big or little eggs

Now we wait and see what they do, I wont open the bator, I wont I wont I wont open the bator

How are they doing?? I just found an internal when I went to lock Poppy up tonight. I'm so nervous, and want to let her do it but seriously want to take it from her. Gonna sit on my hands....The other has draw down too. Now for the wait. I don't even know what to do with them if they hatch. The fencing is still wide enough that the 3 week Call slips through. Trying to figure it out.

Quote: I had 5 internals this morning! I am scared to go look, I havent been down for 4 hours, I dont want to be tempted to candle anything! How long from internal to external a day? ughhhh I cant keep track, too much going on here lately! I am neglecting my duck eggs now! chaos central in PA!


All my White faced, brahma and CCL hatched today, they get shipped out tomorrow. I had some issues with the wfbs malposition as well, but the other breeds were ok, not sure what is going on, very weird!

I can't wait to see your duckies feathered. A silkie duck might tempt me back into ducks.

have ducks over a winter before you get rid of any chickens.

I agree. The extra challenges of wintering ducks should help you decide.
