I finally got the pasty butts cleaned! I did trim some bottom fluff as well. I have notice that one of them has a really hard time pooping. I can see the vent protrude and can tell it is pushing hard and if anything comes out, it is a greenish black log. Anyone know what's up with that?

I agree can you gently massage it>?

Not getting enough water?? I know babies first poops are blackish green and like tar....not sure if it works on chicks but a little tummy massage works wonders on kittens and babies IME.


And here is Sexy's egg. She has the most wonderfully thick bloom on all her eggs! If you wash them, they become a dark brown.

Forget the eggs, I wish the post office could stop ruining my mail! Torn envelopes, destroyed packages that were crammed into the P.O. box, even the gift box for one of my gifts.
Then I went shopping in the mall, K-Mart and Walmart with a toddler and her anxious father. Ohhhhh my! No nap for her, and she was crammed in a cart. He got ticked every time her shoe fell off (not a single person here with children is a stranger to missing shoes and socks in the store). The check out woman was in a mood, and my bread got crushed along with my bananas (banana bread, here we come!).
And who puts diced carrots and sweet potatoes in a bag full of candy? I am so glad I looked, because I never would have missed them!
I did buy two more thermometers. I haven't hatched in a few years, and I am growing paranoid about these duck eggs.

oh no MC!!! I ordered two and they still arent here!!!
 
So now I have a green, blue, and a pink layer! Only 1 EE left to lay, but I don't know which one... I love having a colorful egg basket!!
 
Too much popcorn I guess..and yes, I have been eating too much popcorn!! lol..
 
yeah I brought some eggs home from the farm to incubate and son was like mom quit coloring the eggs it's not easter yet. Have white,brown and blue/green

Hopefully next year I am going to be getting a good incubator called my hens, have one that appears to be going broody, as this LG deluxe really sucks for incubation

3rd try with it this time only put 9 eggs in and on day 7 candle had 1 infertile and 3 blood rings

not sure why but this time i noticed temp spikes at day 5, 102-106 without any changes and not being opened ,had to actually open it to cool it off in there and it's got a fan in it
trying something else this time other than the manufactures instructions for lock down as first to hatches the ones that didn't quit early were all malpositioned.

might try it without the egg turner if get many this time
