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

Quote: Neither, actually. The hay bale got gone, & the run's covered with welded wire & a tarp. The unscheduled departure of the morning occurred because the guest of honor at the party got caught out in the open; didn't have sense enough to stay under the abundant overhead cover. Being white certainly didn't help.

HERE COMES A DUCK POST!!

Thoughts?

Duck house!
Front:

Back:

Not fancy, no windows, two doors (one for ducks and one for cleaning) and nests that I can totally see into because I'm scared of cottonmouths.

And for @Sally Sunshine: the CCL and a pepper pullet? in that tree. That's Monster (EE roo) with them.

I am kind of a natural, does not take much practice at all...

Thanks for the warning! It kept my eyes from bleeding and getting the welder burn type pain...

You ask her for your airfare and I will let you come if you walk through the grass scaring away the snakes from me.

NOPE. Not with those spiders hiding there too.....
All in all, I vote for Siberia. Warmer than here and less spiders.

I've got a few of those dumb birdies. Their time is ticking....
My smart ones stay mostly around cover; and skedaddle to the brush without looking twice if the roosters send off their alarm.

Plenty of practice?

Did you add on an attached cooler to keep drinks cold?

Sounds like a pretty sweet bator. Hope it works well for you and good luck with your expensive eggs. What kind did you get?

Silver Hmong.... they are so beautiful to me...exactly what I wanted to make myself eventually... a mostly white/grey feathered bird, black accents and some spotting/lacing with the black skin/eyes/beak

Also a silver partridge Orpington project set... just received my GFF rarebreed asst from an auction won, got a Cemani and possibly a Svart Hona in that set... 2 died in the **** gel tho, one a Cemani and one I suspect to be a lavender Wyandotte
