***JULY HATCH-A-LONG come join in***

[featherz]

I just had two of the keets hatch out three days early! I was in Canada yesterday and got home to the 'bator at 40% humidity and saw PIPS. Ack! Tomorrow was supposed to be lockdown. Had to get the turner out and get the humidity out. The two pips are now:

yipes! Even if I get nothing else out of my 29 eggs I have two! Of course now they will be 5 days older than my shipped keets. Hopefully they can deal

We have chickage!!! One is all the way out, and another is working as fast as he can to see what his brother is up to!

Kedreeva - have you ever hatched ducks before? I feel your pain on the mess they make. I have had some learn to drink from a water bottle, which helped a lot, but didn't help them keep their nostrils clean. Every time I've had ducklings, I have been amazed at how much they can eat and how fast they grow. Whatever kind of duck those guys are, they sure are cute!

@Outback: That is a lot of really cute chicks. I can just imagine the racket they are making with their 20 voices saying "cheep, cheep, cheep

@Sundown: Are your chicks polish? They seem to have fluffy little heads.

This is my first time hatching out ducks, but I did have a duckling I got at 2 weeks of age a few years ago (maybe like.... 6 years ago now?). He pooped a LOT but he didn't make a mess of his water dish! They are doing a TON better now that they can't spill their water or take it all out with their bills while drinking.

Well today is day 21 for the 3/8 RIR/RSL eggs and nothing. I had to take 1 of the 3 out as it was oozing. All 3 were questionable at lockdown but I put them in just in case. Last batch of RIR/RSL pipped a few hrs before day 21...so Im thinking these arent going to.

I received some eggs, very dirty eggs from someone. Wondering if they contaminated the other eggs in the bator???? I have them separated so they cant touch the clean eggs in there.
I dont know.

I ordered a brinsea eco 20 yesterday. Cant wait to get it.
The 1st eggs going in it are blue NN from Nava!!!!

Everyones hatchlings pics are sure cute!!!!
