Too cute! How many chicks did you have hatch out total now MCF? You should take a picture of your brooder box. I sure hope these eggs in the bator are fertile... Can't wait for more chicks!

These 3 were the last of what i set on dec 11 for the nyd hatch. Ive got another set to lock down today.... And I'll prolly set another tray at least today lol

Well, I don't exactly know how I did it, but I kept her in a specific area most of the time them allowed her to figure out on her own how to move around, and after a few months she caught on and now she only poops in... The bathtub, which is where I kept her (bad.move.) but I can carry her all around everywhere an let her roam around the whole bathroom whenever and she only poops in the tub. Next time I'm going to do it in a cardboard box though cause my parents are not pleased xD

So she just figured it out on her own? I thought that chickens (like most animals) weren't clean- thinking animals. Would that work on almost all chickens do you think?

hey i need you guys opinions…. my mallard duck has been laying eggs and trying to incubate them. i found one of her eggs in her nest today and decided to test and see if it was fertile. i opened 3 a while ago and 2 had blood, they couldve been blood spots or fertile, but the membrane certainly looked and felt like that of a fertile egg. there are lots of wild duck flocks all around my town, the closest of which being a huge mallard/pekin/wood duck flock about a mile away from my house, so it is possible my duck's eggs could be fertile. i put one of her eggs in my incubator just to test it out. what are the chances that it is viable?

OOoooOOh! I say let her try and hatch 'em. I have ZERO knowledge about ducks, but that would be cool to hatch, wouldn't it?

Ancona 8 1/2 days old!

Its just a big tub from wallyworld, BIGGEST is always better,so pay the extra 5 bucks for a bigun.... used a utility knife to cute two sections on the top and wire is cut and ziptied, NOTE it would look "cleaner" if I would have ziptied them on the underside of the lid so you cant see the wire edges lol....oh and its nice because I can a book over the top of the one section if I need it warmer! and then I just added a baking pan and one of those baking cooling racks....

I DIDN'T KNOW BABY DUCKS PEEPED!!! XD

The women is crazy! It is so funny...she has her chicken watching TV and driving in the car...The part I love the most is the story at the end!

I think I watched that on Youtube... Was the story about a silkie hen saving her chicks from a hawk?
