"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Good morning everyone.

I was out last night in the chicken yard and I looked back and this is what I saw, so I had to grab my phone and take a pic. The eyes are really creepy looking. The duck numbers have creeped up on me. I didn't realize that I had so many ducks total. The count last night was 110 muscovy ducks.

Glowing eyes are kinda creepy!
 
:thumbsup   

The eggs are suppose to ship Saturday and they are only coming from a few hours away in TX as opposed to the last few from California. I am spending more this time so I really hope and expect to hatch some this go around. I'm not even sure the last 5 were fertile. I could see one was not for sure. :duc  

The ones I ordered didn't hatch either. Come to find out they were x rayed even though the box was clearly labeled not to. I got brave and cracked them open and all 16 looked like they had been scrambled.
 
All of my babies last year were like large puppies. You could do about anything with them. They would always seek you out when you were outside. If you weren't in the pasture, they would stand at the fence and call to you. The only problem, was when they got older, they would want to play with me like they played with each other. This meant biting, and rearing up to paw at me. It was fun working on their manners. Nothing like running across the pasture on foot with six babies trotting after me, wanting to play. I'm sure I provided the neighbors with a lot of entertainment.
I miss foals! Your horses are beautiful!

Thank you! I don't own them. I have the mothers full time, for the past 4 years. Each year, the babies ship to their owner in Idaho when they are about 6 months old. They grow there for a year and then come back to me for about a week before they go to sale. They then go on to become race horses. It has been one of the best jobs I've ever had. The mares are really a part of our family.
 
I would suggest a brinsea octagon 20 myself. It hold temps better than my other incubators, and has about the capacity you are looking for. 

Thank for the information on the incubator. I pretty much need an idiot proof one. :D

Who raises beef?  My family raises Black Angus.
Does any one have horses?  Yesterday twin lambs were born!  Ram and ewe!  Jack O' Lantern and Sunday.  They are so cute!

I'm horse crazy myself. I've always had horses and cows. I used to barrel race but I've gotten into sorting the last 2 years. This is my main man
