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

[Pensmaster]

My quackers have not laid in a while. Probably due to the three drakes dropped off.
Today I found a Muscovy egg in the nest box.

Nice. How long was the break for laying?

Are those todays hatch?






My little Top Hat guy was dead tonight when I checked on them....The cute ones always die.

OH NO!! So sorry!!

Agree with that, I had 5 chicks hatch from Miss Sunshine and only two made it to adulthood
They were the only chicks I've ever lost.

sweet hatch!
SHOW OFF!!! 

I made 5 loaves of bread the other day....

Thanks but no need to feel sorry for me, it happens, when you hatch as much as I do. Some just do not make it, this was a late hatcher that I had to help out of the shell. There is a reason God does not let some hatch. They just aren't strong enough or something is amiss internally. I would rather have one I keep die than one I sell to someone.





About the bread... Why did I not get the fresh heels and a pound of butter for them?

Oh no!! Your ruining perfectly good chocolate chip cookie dough by baking it?????

CC cookies are good, but dough is better.

Quote: bout an hour or so ago, dead? oh no! I rarely loose any in the brooder using the pre-pro biotics I use the first week. Little bit goes a loooooongggg way too!

I only ever had issues when I hatched the icelandics, no clue why, was weird. But hatching them from this flock now I havent lost any after hatch.
