[BantyChooks]

Yep, I thought it was pretty hilarious too.




Banty, its ducks.......


Rooting for them, what breed? Mix?

Ancona.

Ancona.

Lucky.

Been an hour and a half since the first one started zipping. It keeps pushing at the cap but as it jumped the gun and stopped turning halfway around, he can't crack it.

Don't know, I would be helping it---but that's just me. I had a chick who was in that situation not too long ago.

I'm keeping an eye on it. If it starts to slow movement I'll chip a few pieces off. I think it's ready, but it's always better for them to be a bit late than too soon.

I have never hatched ducks, so yeah.

I can't believe your killing all those sweet innocent webbed ducks

I bet if they knew all about it......you wouldn't be getting those adorable little duck faces.

Who said anything about killing?!?!?!? I only butcher the drakes. Ducks I don't want (aka crested) get sold.

Wat did curiosity do to the cat again???

Superstition brought it back.

Isn't gonna kill them. I have the humidity high, and I don't stand there with the lid off, candling.

I'm leaving them now, don't have any reason to candle... All the live ones are peeping and rocking. Membrane is a lovely white colour.

Doesn't Sally say that it isn't about humidity, it's about the sudden shock of the cold?

That's okay. At least Kristin likes me.

She likes everyone.

Sorry about the baby. And me, hands off?


I do have self control when I want it.

You said you were butchering 80......or maybe I'm misreading. You have 80 drakes?
