EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[DwayneNLiz]

I don't think she will fit this year.

probably not but still cute!!

Not sure yet Sal. Been a week since I was supposed to start though, so we'll confirm tomorrow.

glad to hear from you!!

I usually prefer anti-inflammatories, over narcotic pain meds. My doctor was shocked, when ever my c-section, I only took pain meds for 3 days, then said "I have to walk MILES directly after a c-section due to the nicu, so hook me up with prescription grade anti-inflammatories to reduce swelling, and we'll call it good." I over-did it, so I was on them longer than I wanted, but at least they weren't addictive and when I healed and wasn't in pain, it was easy to just stop taking them.

still sucks

My Sunshine is always looking out for me. Life has not slowed down at all but I need to find some more time to spend on here. Maybe now is a good time. LOL First kids of 2017. Twin bucklings.

Cute! And great to hear from you!!

So turns out that Husband's grandpa (who is going into a home soon) has three chickens left (one really handsome rooster and two bantam baby girls) and if we don't take them then they die. SO GUESS WHAT WE'RE GETTING TOMORROW. We plan on giving them dewormer and a bath in antiparasitic soap as well as a full health checkup before we even begin thinking of integrating. Thankfully they come with their own coop and we'll have room for everyone. Plus it'll make it easier to have everyone all playing nice before we move.

Lol good luck!!

Hello! I am currently breeding my ducks, hope to start storing eggs at the very end of this month. I have my anconas 1 boy, 2 girls, in a seperate small pen. My magpie boy and girl in the big pen, with a black runner girl. My Campbells are in the big pen to, but I'm not going to be incubating eggs from them. I am currently getting an egg a day, from an ancona. I cracked open today's egg to check fertility. I don't think it is. But just wondering if you think otherwise. Here's the pic. I am wondering how many fertile eggs does a girl usually have from one mating? I've seen my ancona boy mating. Not the Magpie yet though, he's been doing courtship displays however. Just waiting for the rest of the girls to start laying, and for my magpie drake to get going. Any advice?

looks fertile to me

Cool! But be sure to quarantine for ~4 weeks before hand (I think that's the length of time, right?).
