O my

Yeah, I have to admit that I laughed at Aflack's reaction.

Here he is. Imagine him running around a milk jug in circles chirping his little head off.

Well... I finally found out where my sneaky duck had been laying her eggs; Behind an old duckhouse. There was a pile of them, and only one duck! Since I couldn't tell how long they had been there, I threw them out. Yesterday, I got 2... Somehow... One duck, one drake, and 2 eggs. I'll never know why she lays 2 eggs a day. LOL. So I ran those two eggs to the bator. 2 questions... I should know this, but I don't; What temp do duck eggs need to be at? And I wanted to do some MORE chickens, so I am going to get some chicken eggs when these duck eggs are 7 days old. So they all go into lockdown at the same time, and it doesn't mess anything up. But anyway, if I want to incubate the duck eggs AND the chicken eggs together, what should I keep the temp at? Right now it's at 100.3 degrees

It's the same as chickens so 99.5 degrees for a forced air incubator and 101.5 for a still air.

Thank you! But is it okay for the eggs if I drop the temp down that low? They have been at 100.5 for 3 days.

I would drop them back to 100

Maybe a better day here!
Woke up to a beautiful brahma chick in the bator, and 3 other pips in the silkies!


now I must go back and read

Good start to the day

My bator this morning. Blacks are shipped and buff are mine. So far the hatching is about equal.

I just realized the new calendar I am using is a FUNERAL HOME calendar!

This calendar says one of two things......

Either Sally has an addiction or Sally needs a Little Black Chicken book to show up in her mail box!
either way, I can see now why Sally writes the set dates on her eggs instead of X and O's

Oz screw the chicken math ap, we need a MULTI incubation calculation calendar with alarms!
