haha they sure do they chit chat all day, Gunter even talks in her sleep. mostly quiet until they are talking to me then it's super loud haha

marceline really feels that she can fly! and Gunter is quite the runner

OMG. I love it. That Marceline has some powerful flappers. Caught a glimpse of the little runner Gunter doing her upright running. The sounds…..

Love your videos of your cute webs of duck.

With early bumblefoot I have been successful smearing the foot with triple antibiotic (no painkiller) on the foot three times a day, especially just before their bedtime.  Takes about 5 or 6 weeks to completely resolve, but it works.  

Amiga, may i ask why "no painkiller" antibiotic, bc they will use the foot more w/less pain from the painkiller?? Thanks

Some painkillers are toxic to waterfowl.

OOOHHH!! Thanks
Another Q: what do u do when & if ur incubator temps spike too high? I first turned it down one degree, that didnt help (fast enough), so now i have the lid off a tiny bit w/my oscillating fan in t/rm. It is hot here in Idaho this week, out outside temps r 100° this week & we dont have airconditioning in our home. I am incubating my chicken eggs, this is my first time. My incubator is the styrofoam LG 10300, known for increased temp spikes. Yikes. Any advice is welcomed. Thanks Amiga
P.S. i also posted this in another forum for "temp spikes". Just wanted ur opinion, bc i value ur's.

Just keep monitoring it, we have 2 thermometer/humidity detectors in each of 5 bators...Those things will happen, sometimes for a reason, sometimes, not LOL If it happens, no problem just opening lid wide open and air out for a couple of seconds, like momma getting up to eat or drink...It's natural!

Thank u kyexotic. I did take lid off for a min then turned the internal temp to 98° and have the top lid propped open about 1/2" for past 2-3 hours, temp shows on 3 aquarium mometers - 99°, 101° & 104°. The bedrm temp is 84°. And it is 100° outside today. Yuck! Thanks for ur reply, i really appreciate ur time.
