Someone had mentioned them before.
Kinda bummed currently, of my eggs, I had pulled all my clears and were really hoping for the rest of these to hatch.

I got these from another lady. 3 were laid the same day I got them, and the others were from a fridge. But I chose them because I wanted the spotted ones because of the blue feathered chickens.

The ones from the fridge developed for a while then quit. I still have one spotted and the 2 green ones developing.

I have to remember healthy chicks hatch, and this time it is not my incubator. (Since I have had great luck with them.) I would only think something was wrong if the 3 freshest ones didn't make it.

Baby ducks is so cute! I am going to try and hatch 2 LO. My rooster hasn't been fertile but the LO's are his fave...so maybe...

Baby ducks are cute but I had forgotten about all of the poop, lol. I moved are two LO cockerels out to the big pen. I sure hope this younger one is a female. Good luck with the 2, keep me posted.

I am holding my breath, I will not know for a couple of days here. I had an older LO that he didn't fertilize, but maybe this one..

Do you trim their feathers around the cloaca?
