I just PM'd her.
Well, I'm off for the night. I'm going to go eat some REAL popcorn, and fall asleep watching a movie, and then tomorrow night I'll eat more popcorn, and fall asleep watching the 2nd half of the movie, LOL!

Night All!!

I have movement in my chicken eggs that were in the same bator as the ducks. Why would the ducks be shrink wrapped and not the chickens? Or could they be? Jeez. I'm with you Sally. I hate styrofoam. Dad and I use to incubate eggs years ago and we had a big cabinet type. It was rare that we didn't hatch all the eggs or at least 90%. We talked about that tonight. He hasn't had good success with styrofoam either. The lady he sold the cabinet too 20 years ago still uses it and had great success. We couldn't remember the brand but it cost 600 bucks 25 years ago. You sure get what you pay for. I may just buy a good one instead of building one.

CHICKS is in the HOUSE!!! YAYAYAYYAYAAAA!!!!

It didn't last long and I am so far behind. I don't see me catching up or really just skipping ahead until Monday. Will stop in as I can.

Hey!!!

What's the difference in a painted Silkie and a Splash?

 

[TweetyNPetey]

Well... My 8 Salmon Faverolle eggs had to be thrown out... ALL of them...

One was fertile but died at around day 6 or so. The rest looked clear and infertile at day 12. A waste of $30.

And they were from a good hatchery so I expected them to be fertile, but I was wrong.

Next I'm gonna do some ducks!!! My first duck hatch!

 

[TweetyNPetey]

Since my ducks are laying. I have one female Mallard and one male Mallard, so I'm gonna get some ducky eggs!
