Yes, do that and good luck with them. Hopefully they will settle into their new spots with no problems.

Well I tried, and then my duck got angry and went un-broody. So I guess I'll just leave my chicken be and hope the duck goes broody again some other time...

Hey guys i haven't been on in a while, it's been crazy around here. Have had numerous very difficult hatches and my mother in laws dog died today so its been a very emotional day. He's been sick and we took him to the vet 2 days ago because he was acting very funny. My husband and I told the vet we had treated thos wound he had and were worried it had gone into his blood stream maybe (infection) he told us it was a hotspot and we had correctly got ton rid of it. He said bear had arthritis and was old for a big pure bred German Shepard. He gave us pain meds and sent us home. He seemed better the next day but doped up from the meds. The next day he got worse, last night he drank two things of water then went outside (to pee I thought) but this morning we couldn't find him and we knew, my husband came inside crying. He found him on the side of the house in the backyard. We buried him and are going to plant some beautiful flowers all around him.

Sorry for the depressing news but I do also have a question. I have about 5 eggs that go into lockdown on Monday that have very wobbley air cells still. I know u hatch them upright in a carton but do they have a really hard time internally pipping or hatching even??????? Help cause I'm stressing out! I only had one call duck make it last time and 2 of these are more calls.
But I did have a domestic teal duck and 8 Aussie spot ducks hatch over the last 2 days! I will post pics later.
Will someone let chicknfun and silver know that I'm alive please?!!!! Miss u girls!

So sorry to hear about your dog. Upsetting news they are best friends for sure. Big hugs a good luck with your hatch. I haven't done ducks.....yet!

Ahhh Sunday morning! 7.50am My 5 year old son is UNDER his bed watching shriek on our portable DVD player he found. My 2 year old is still asleep on the floor at the bottom of her bed. Taking the time to have a quiet coffee and check up on you guys! Busy day ahead of me. Planting the rest of my veg garden this morning then helping my husband to finish the new chicken run. I'm so excited for the chickens to move into the international waffle house!!!! I will post pics soon as I would like to update you guys on Pip and friends. All that has to be done before 1pm as then we are out to a friends house! Oh my Gawd :0)

So she might be a he. Can you post a pic of her? I got caught out by late bloomers like that before. One of my roosters had me so fooled. I swore he was a hen until he crowed. And not one of those "excuse me, I'm still still practicing" crows either. A nice, good, loud crow. And he was sitting on my lap at the time...

I can imagine your reaction! That is just too darn funny!! I had a roster like that. He was a very late bloomer.

I didn't see the humour in at at the time

Sheesh, that thing crowed loud and right in my face. Now you can imagine, one moment I'm thinking it's a hen, the next my ears are ringing and this roo's standing there looking right pleased with himself. And DH is about killing himself laughing, going "I TOLD you it's a rooster!"

I completed its hatch about half an hour ago. Yolk sac has gone, but it is lying on the bottom of the incubator puffing away. Should I feed it?
