Dutch Hookbill Hatch!

[Pyxis]

Candled today, everyone is still trucking along! Started some misting today. I don't often do it with ducks but I do with my bantams since it seems to help them hatch better. Figured I'd do it for the Hookbills too. Can't hurt!

You do mist your call duck eggs then?

Yeah, just towards the end. Ravyn actually told me to do it, she said it cut down on 'sticky' hatches when she did it for the last few days before lockdown.

Thanks for sharing this!

The Hookbills are coming!

Today is lockdown day, and as I was taking out the turner and getting the eggs arranged, imagine my surprise:

Three external pips, and all but the two in the back right corner internally pipped!

Awesome!
I can't wait to see them.
