March Hatch-Along Thread- Come Hatch With Us!!!!!

What a difference some knowledge makes! Thanks BCYers - the first incubation, I did everything wrong (cuz I was too **** impatient to do any research!!) because I thought having done this 25+ years ago, I didn't need research. Research? I don't need no stinking research! Um, actually, I did. I got 3 little duckies from 24 last hatch.

Ducky #1 - Pekin/Cayuga or Pekin/Blk Swed e #2 Duckie: Definitely Cayuga/Sussex Duckie #3 with #1 and #2. Duckie #2 again The fabric 'doll' belongs(ed!) to my 4 yr old and I put it in for 1 as she was by herself so long. And just bc I think he is beyond adorable (and pretty sure it's 'he'...little whistle getting softer), here's my Topper. From the minute he hatched, he's been more 'people' than 'duck'. I'm trying to convince hubby we need a house duck!!! lol
Those ducks are so stinking cute!
The first chick is gorgeous!! How cute
Look what I got! Turkens! I always said I'd never get one, and I didn't. I got two. The black one's name is Baby, as in Naked Baby.

The buff one's name is Honey Boo Boo. I love my little nekked necks!
I so want some nn turkens! Wanna share? I'm not picky. I want to add showgirls to my babies so if anyone would love to share I would be so excited!
 
Irishgirl I love the name of your NN! So adorable!


I am officially in LOCKDOWN!!!

I have filled another reservoir and removed the two cups since this picture was taken. I candled last night and the eggs had lost an average of 14.1% in weight. I think one of the ameraucana eggs and 2 of the grocery store eggs quit, but this is my first hatch being a candling newb I didn't want to toss any potentially viable eggs. Its hard to tell from this shot but the eggs are all placed at angles in the container with the side up that rolled to the top when I put the egg on a flat surface. I went with the carton for holding the eggs, but am now having second thoughts! Blah!!!

Am I just being paranoid because this is my first hatch???
 
He just finished and looks good! No deformities and he just figure out how to get off of his back, lol. However, there is this on his rump... Can anyone tell me what it is??
