Awesome!  Hope it hurries so you can get some sleep!

Still 3 lav pips holding and none of the ducks have started zipping yet, but I've had a couple drinks, so I'll get some sleep.

Start a pen of both. Problem solved. LOL

I've got too many pens already too. You have d'uccle too, dont you?

 

[fire370]

That's why we have a problem already... way too many pens and breeds...

I feel your pain. We added CLB's out of Greenfire and a Jill Rees line in 2015. Too many pens but catch myself wanting to add more.

We have a few D'Uccles running around.

We have a few D'Uccles running around.

That was the next breed I wanted, but got some golden sebrights a few months ago, so I'm not sure if I'll ever get my d'uccles.

 Just trying to help. 

Yeah, suuure...
You just want SC to skin me, lol...

I don't like the Rees line, mine are the older lines... will probably drop a couple more breeds in the next year so I can work more on the ones I love the most...

It's a win/lose imo with the Rees line. You get those creamy feathers but also lose some bluing. We'll see how these mix.

Yeah, I just don't see much I care for in those at all... :/

 

[AmyPaperlady]

Did you leave yet?

Nope. I'm going to continue being sc. I've been the other guy enough today

you're right, Sally I retract my blame statement.

it's so obvious that the fault lies completely with sc........

Absolutely

*note to self--re: blame, sc=2legs. Only re: blame, though!*

So.... I couldn't stand it, I ran home at lunch time. One silkie out, and one lavender out!! e The silkie is already fluffed up and dry, so I'd say she has been out for a couple of hours at least. The lavender's cap was off, but still in the bottom of the shell, so I got to watch her pop on out. I think the silkie is BLUE!!! And at least 3 new pips... one more duck, one more lavender, and a new pip in a comet egg. Silkie Lavender

yay!!! I hatch day!! Enjoy it!!

starting to reach the end? congrats!! stick around kw, this is the frog thread, where no thin skin is allowed........

X2

Lav Orp Silkie/cochin cross (love this one!) 5 toes!! Silkie/cochin - I think this one got more cochin genes, 4 toes Golden Comet x dark brahma

Love the pics, WV. They are absolutely adorable!!

3 days of little to no sleep, and wrecked nerves... ah, gotta em!

Exactly! That was me on my last hatch...and that was chicken eggs. I'll probably be worse with duckies.

Thanks and it's all good just something I decided to do.....funny my boys grew up with out even a beer ever in the fridge.....and I really like my vodka. But....I'm going to try this for a while.

You can do it! My body has been free from alcohol and anything else for 2 years. You feel really crappy in the beginning but after you get over that hump, you'll feel better then you ever remembered.

But you get to do this!!

Awwww!

I really want to hatch some ducks....my wife is against it...but she's easy.....I like to try new things...(Oh wait don't go there).....anyway always trying to learn new skills.

I want to try ducks too In spring! You should do it!! I've hatched peafowl and quail, now I really need to get ducks under my belt! I'm on a list for eggs for spring and I haven't canceled even though my voice of reason says I should.
