Yeah!!!!! Only 22 days to go till you have duckies!


You could add some more to your bator if you wanted to.

so you are one of those enabler type people lol -- well I am planning on setting a few of my mutt chickens when the duckies are done in there. They will be a mix of my Black Dutch banty roo and my full sized EE's - so this should be fun to see what they look like.

I am really hopeing that out of the 3 eggs that have great veins - that at least 1 or 2 are females but I guess I have to get them out of the egg before I start worring about what sex they are LOL

when I saw the veins in them I have to admit it was the coolest looking thing - like looking into another little world. everytime I look in there I cant believe I really am trying my hand at hatching, but I guess everyone feels like that when you set eggs for the first time, I am not so scared now to do it again ,now I am worried about the next 22 days and making sure they hatch and there are no problems.

this is so cool !!!!

Ok I candled again last night - I have 2 with blood rings I went ahead and removed them and I opened them up the yokes were gooey and runny and they smelled slightly funky

- one of them I can see nice veins and even saw alittle movement so I am pleased with that one, egg number 4 I saw veins and I thought I saw movement - but it could have been wishful thinking so it went back in the bator - egg number 5 I saw a dark mass on one side of the egg - could not really see alot of veins and the other side of the egg had a pretty good sized aircell, my question is this- Does the dark mass mean that egg is no good - should I give it alittle longer and candled again on day 14?

we are at day 8 now.
