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

[dan26552]

There are 16, nine nannies and seven kids. Two does are too young to have kids, one appears to be bred (first time) and one lost her kids earlier last month. Five have kids, I think there's three or four bucklings.

for notes

I updated that because of a duckling thread I saw yesterday where there was some confusion about a sick duckling with a scab on it's belly and crook neck.

All vodka is good for is making vanilla extract.

We just had some in our French toast. Vanilla that is made with vodka

That's a bunch of kids to watch.

AccuWeather says it feels like -10 to -20°F outside. Lucky is being an idjit and staying outside... Birdie, you're sick. Stay inside so you don't get frostbit, if you haven't already.

The experiment is over...

Leaving eggs at day 18 sit outside on top to of incubator, whether on purpose or because of Senioritis, will not affect the hatching ability of the eggs adversely.

Every egg that sat out for 20 hours hatched!!!
