Oh - you set a day earlier than I did (I set on the 21st). I thought Day 0 was the day you set (I thought that was what Sally told me once), but it always confused me a little, so hopefully someone will come correct me. So, if Day 0 IS the day you set, then your day 7 is tomorrow, and mine is Wednesday.

Never mind, I marked the calendar (thank goodness) I set the 21st not the 20th (brain fart )

I've read and heard if you set in the morning it's day one and if you set in the afternoon it's day 0

It may not be rocket science but it sure feels like it sometimes!

If one of them goes bad you should let him open it.

I posted on the Silkie thread- but what do you guys think -- Is my little growing buddy a rooster?

He's the only one that's growing that red waddle thing out of all his hatch mates. All my older silkies, are missing it too - so, boy?

Well you do have a point.

Ahhhhh. OK, on the 21st you were on Day 1 and I was on Day 0 (I set at about 6:30pm).

Tell me about it!

Kathy, do you have any additional thoughts regarding Banti's injured duck who won't eat? (Not sure if you're reading back or if you're already in the loop...)

I'm way behind on all of my threads again, and probably can't do a read back.

I saw that her duck was injured, but I didn't see any posts about how it was cleaned. Was it cleaned? If so, how was it cleaned?
