Cute, cute, cute chicks! Love the colouring!

And I must stop reading this thread, I'm thinking about duck eggs now!

Sally, I saw you posted over on the article contest thread about hatching eggs after deworming, but I'll talk to you about it here, instead of hijacking that thread. I've done some digging into the effect of dewormer on the embryo and the people who have tried it are very reluctant to discuss it. What I have learned though is that it causes handicapped chicks and chicks dying immediately after hatching. So basically it's a bad idea.

A guy I knew back in SA went a bit hatch crazy, trying to get as many chickens in the shortest time possible and he came round frequently to demand hatching eggs from me. I dewormed my flock and he came and collected the eggs, supposedly to feed to his pig... I told him not to try and hatch them, but after about 3-4 weeks he came round shouting that I "cheated" him with the eggs and he wants more. No prize for guessing what happened there.
