I find its useful to see who actually reads my posts.

I must admit, it took me a minute but I figured he meant rain (deal with a very bad speller on another thread and cell phone posts gone wrong all the time)

Fence looks good Oz.

your cell phone might have a good idea for preserving the bamboo fence, coat the under ground portion with resin

Even the polish might help, depending on what it's made of.

hatching muscovy eggs is proving to be tough going

Please enjoy taking the mickey out of me with my auto correct. I can take the mockery.


As far as Muscovy go piglet, they are great broodies and can easily cover 15 eggs. You may be better off letting them build up a few eggs in the coup and letting one sit on them.

My friend the duck man started with a dozen birds and has over 300 a year later without an incubator. They tend to lay in a pile and once the pile is big enough a duck will sit.

Hatching eggs that take 35 days is tough. Especially if you are set up for chickens. Its best to use a separate incubator and do the cooling and misting routine.

Good luck.

I just "spent" 196,000 frequent flyer miles getting flights LAX-MNL-BCD for both Enzo's Birthday and Christmas.

My Mabuhay Miles account balance is severely depleted but there is nothing better than (almost) free business class travel and especially at Christmas.
