Holy poop!
I'm 100% sure I have 6 females and one male amoung my duckling (4 are pretty close to identical, the boy is one of them). Crazy odds... That's a lot of duck eggs... I'm keeping the young drake too, no need for my older fellow to use any thing until it falls off...

I'd say that's awesome! I'd love a hatch like that. I know chances are 50/50. but boy do I have my fingers crossed.

Anyway. my Ancona hatching egs are supposed to arrive Friday.

Keep your fingers crossed!

@vehve did your rabbit have her young yet?

Oh lord... Gross, gross, gross...
"what's that weird tube thingy in the duck pen mommy?!"
"Oh god no Lilly! (one of the hens) don't eat it!!"
The older guy is still a few weeks away from a year old, but 9 hens is more than enough for two drakes... Or it should be...

. I have 2 drakes with 9 hens and they're all producing fertile eggs. I have a second pen with 1 drake and 5 hens and he covers each one every day I swear, sometimes twice. I'm thinking he'd have a heart attack if I gave him more hens.

@BriardChickens We're pretty sure she had them sometime around the tenth. They're eyes should be opening right about now, and she should soon be taking them out of the nest. Don't worry, once I see the kits, there will be picture overload here.

Good to know
Thanks a bunch

Glad we are skipping the hairless stage honestly.

Not a fan of baby rats?

Sam, how are your chilis looking? Are they growing leaves and branches low on the stem?

How about them naked rats.. personally I think they feel "clamy".. if that even is a word
