September 2024 hatch-a-long 🥳🥳

[Muscovy Wunda]

There's a guy that comes to the auction around here who claims to have the darkest in Australia. I should take that chart along and see where it sits

 

[Muscovy Wunda]

Second bator full! 4 duccles, 4 bantamorpintgonxsomething hence forth to be referred to as Stacys, and however many more cochins to bring it to a total of 22 eggs due to hatch 25th

 

[Muscovy Wunda]

Did day ten candling of first bator, pulled 11 eggs and have 9 remaining

I'm on Silkie watch (day 20) although they may hatch late as the Mr unplugged the incubators twice. I'm surprised I still have 7 wiggling embryo's, incubators read as low as 21c when I realised what he had done
Had some quitters in the other incubators most likely due to the same reason but will do a proper candle on them tonight.
I have taped the plugs and have a fancy hand written do not touch or unplug sign now, so hopefully it's clear he needs to use a different power point for his tools

Oh gosh! Why must everyone want to use the powerpoint that is already in use?

 

[AusHen]

I'll never understand why, but I did buy a power board for the TWO powerpoints mere meters away and pointed him to them saying "look you have extras now". Followed up with another 14 eggs in the incubators due on the 30th, that lot is a test batch so not sure how many will develop but they should be safe from being unplugged (hopefully)

Woke up to 4 babies and a 5th hatching. 6th egg has a pip.

Congratulations! I have my 1st ever batch of muscovys in the incubator. 6 total and all still surviving at day 17. Totally new to this as I have a stray Muscovy "Miss Tilly". Varmints kept eating her babies so i decided to help her. Guess I'm gonna be a duck Mom!
