More cuteness V! I really like the white and black one with the little black on it's face.

I know nothing about ducks. Other than they sometimes visit our pond. Lol And that I would love a few. Hehehe.

Sure, make my wait even harder!

I already lack patience. The countdown is at 22 days.

@minihorse927 looks like 5 ohiki are developing, their air cells are better than the calls...

Raining again... although not too intensively, and it was getting quite dry so it's really doing some good here. The lawn is looking super lush and green. I hope the back yard bounces back after the winter soon too. It get's a bit too much dog pee on it in wintertime. I've tried to add some egg shell crush to the spots with yellow grass, we'll see how it goes.
I'm also excited to see if the rhubarb takes off like crazy, I added about a quart of rabbit poop around it, just dug it in a bit under the surface.

you have GREEN grass????


Sheesh! And you are FURTHER north than I am!

I have the warm and glowing water from Japan, *I* should have green grass!

(jk, I am doing fine... trying to be silly)

Well, I am so far behind and don't have time to read all the posts. Don't tell @bamadude . I heard he is the honorary chicken police and he will fine me! LOL!

Good morning. My eyes have been glued to the incubator for 2 days. Today I have to go to work and thankfully they seem to be all done. All in all we ended up with 22 chicks. A couple may need culled. I think I seen one has spraddle leg and one may be blind....? Not sure what's up with that chick. It has an odd look to it though. Maybe it will outgrow it and thrive. I'll keep a close eye on it for the time being. I ended up with 2 Easter Eggers (that's all I set) and 3 (I think) BR x CCL cross- Easter Eggers. So 5 in total. All the rest of the chicks are mix. That was the batch of eggs that I washed most every one of them because the coop area was SO MUDDY and all the eggs were caked in mud. So, a bit over 50% hatch rate is much better than I expected.

I gotta get ready for work. My back is torqued today

. I'm feeling old today. Have a good day!!

Sorry your back hurts.. not a horrid hatch rate, and 22 chicks is a good number!

Have you put the place on the market yet? Looked at properties yet?

huh... how wild, especially since it hatched by itself just fine.... wild

@Alaskan

that is so cool! But, I see a cool shot like that and I just think, "is it photo shopped?"


As to my Marans of DOOOOOOOOOOM!

Hatch is over, I popped open all eggs to see what they had....

I have 6 Marans out and 7 more that pipped (or I helped pip) and look like they will be fine... I am going to give them a few more hours and then see how they are doing/if they need more help.

I also got 8 ish chicks from my Olive Eggs...

my point is that I FULLY FILLED MY ORDERS!

Dang, it feels good.
