You got calls?I will take some cute pics tomorrow but wanted to share that the ducks are out.
I peeled away some shell and applied Vaseline with q tip. No veins so I peeled the air cell area. Duck one pushed out within a few minutes. Duck 2 took a couple hours. View attachment 3487571View attachment 3487573View attachment 3487574

Well, I hatched Calls.
They were hatched for one of my 4-H families and were picked up within 24 hours of hatch. The boys really wanted to try call ducks and could not find any for sale. I made a few inquires and traded some eggs & birds to a friend of a friend of a friend, etc. (You would get horribly lost if I attempted to explain all the details of how I was the middle man exchanging quail eggs, turkey poults, Call duck eggs, cochin breeding pair, Spitzhauben pullet, and a Showgirl cockerel. LOL)
I'm not a duck person. I admit they're adorable, but think ducks would be too much for me. Yet, the joke is on me because now I'm left with a bunch of turkeys being raised by a serama mama in my basement. ("I'm not sure the fertility is very good," she said. I had asked for a doz eggs and was given 2 doz. I set them and hatched out 22 poults! (1infertile/ 1 quitter) I'd say the Jake's fertility is amazing. I only arranged for 6-8 turkeys. The quail eggs were for me but that hatch was also higher than expected.
