I know with spring right around the corner that those incubators are starting to fill up! I stared at my incubators today so many times as if it would somehow magically make those eggs hatch sooner (I really wish I had that superpower). My husband says that patience is not my strong suit and well.... he's not wrong
... so I decided to stop incubator hovering and went to pick up a 4' round stock tank to use as my new brooder. Since we just moved in all of the ducks are out in the barn so now I'm currently out here with them getting the new brooder set up. I'm typing all of this while taking a "break" in the barn. 5'4" me trying to move a 4' round stock tank has been comical to say the least.... Thankfully this time I did not break my foot again (Last year I did break my foot attempting to move a stock tank that I was using as a brooder...impatiently I might add 
). Anyways....What does everyone have incubating this year? Barnyard mixes? Purebreed? Something fun and exotic? Dinosaur eggs?...Also please feel free to come back and post some pictures once they hatch! You can never have too many pictures of ducklings, chicks, baby velociraptors....!
Currently I have:
-Barnyard mixes due to hatch the 24th-27th of this month. Possibilities are Rouen, Runner, Mallard and Hookbill mixes (I'm hoping to get some fun colors!).
-Impatiently waiting another 1.5 weeks to collect Hookbill eggs to hatch from the breeders I separated and start setting by the beginning of April. Hopefully the new 24'x24' "duck barn" will be finished by the time they hatch so they can be the very first tenants to stay in the new hatching/brooder room!

Getting puppy pads to fully cover a round tank is the worst puzzle ever:
"Ichabod" was stalking me aka. following me around trying to flirt so of course I had to stop and take his picture:
