Seriously? Ikes!!

The universe does not want me to breed D'Uccles, apparently.

Atm, I've lost one guinea keet already. It looks like I might lose another one.

Hmmm...you often wonder...I feel the same about Orpingtons. I bred Buff Orpingtons and lost the whole flock in under 2 months! Got Lavender Orpingtons and my rooster broke his leg! And you lost a keet!

The keet suffocated because I put in a safety hole too late. Urg, this hatch is frustrating. So far there have been two malpos.
This is what happens when eggs hatch 3 whole days early; you get malpos because turning didn't stop in time.

Me too. This is really a downer to lose so many animals so fast.

It's always hard when you wait so long for incubation and it goes in that direction

BH, I'm curious; How long have you been raising poultry? You have a lot of experience under your belt for someone my age

Well, we first got Cornish 11 years ago. I started actually breeding and incubating back 5 years ago!

I did lawn mowing in town to pay for it

Awesome! I wish I would have had those opportunities.
