Apparently she found lots of time today cause she's been handing them out to me all day long.............and I didn't even have to earn all of them either.

Oh boy soy you even got some that you didn't deserve? Those are sometimes the best.

AWESOME!! CONGRATS!!!    what have you done differently?

I have them in a Brinsea with 35% humidity from day 1-18, and I haven't candled my Anconas yet. While I've got you here, I just went to check on my Muscovy eggs to make sure nobody had internally pipped early. They were supposed to go into lockdown tomorrow. When I picked one of the eggs up I could feel the baby moving and it was peeping at the top of its lungs. It's pipped on the wrong end and halfway zipped. All the veins are absorbed, but I'm worried about it because it's so early (day 29). Do you think it'll be alright?

They can't run fast enough or far enough!   I didn't have a fertility problem; I just wasn't sure, because he came with the pullets last Spring, that he wasn't their brother. Besides, I want darker eggs. I was also tired of having to watch him like a hawk, in case he got brave. Even surrounded by hens, in a strange environment for only an hour, Tucker didn't hesitate to come up & eat from my hand! What a difference!  I think Tucker must have a built-in calendar; today's exactly 2 weeks since he came here! Thank you.

Lol, that's funny! They'll get used to him and he'll get used to having them around. He's been holding it in for a while remember lol. I never thought that you had a fertility problem before. All I'm saying is you definitely won't now!

zipped half way around the shell or it has a big round hole? with ducks they sorta go round and round in there, the movements actually help twist and cut off that blood supply. they take longer to zip than chicks, I would time it and keep and eye on it for sure...
