Duck hatch-a-long october/november!!!!!! come join!

I candled the chicken eggs in the bator last night (they are due on Monday). 5 of the 18 were clears, but that wasn't a surprise. I suspected those weren't developing the last time I candled, but left them a while longer to be sure. The other 13 are very full though, and I got to see one move!

That was SO cool. I am forcing myself to keep hands off of the duck eggs. I don't want to overhandle them and risk compromising the babes.

Well all my duck eggs are still going strong, all are dark with thick veins except one but I can see movement and good veins looks like it might be less developed,pr
