Okay first question aha

I have an update... We are in a cold snap and I candled the eggs and one had internally pipped ahead of the others so I brought it in and look what you get when you cross a mallard hens with a blue swedish Drake!!! I am curious to see the others...

here is what he looks like today!

What are you using the duct tape for?

I made a floor out of metal mesh and I taped off the sharp edges

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

Hello!
I am a senior in highschool, and I am hatching ducklings for my senior project! I have made my own incubator (which still needs some tweaking) and I hope to start incubation next week! I am a 100% newbie, and I would love any knowledge or wisdom that you guys could share with me! I'm also an all around animal nutt! I officially will be attending college in the fall for veterinary Technology! I have so many questions, and I'm so excited!!

Welcome to BYC Oh it's easier if you get that hatching eggs local over shipped. If ship make sure it's not too far so not really rough on eggs. Best wishes on your hatching.
