Wow!!! Thanks for the videos...it's weird, but I think that the videos help....when are you just looking at the eggs and "thinking" that you may have seen movement, then second guessing yourself...Day 14, just candled and weighed the mixes, cochins and barred rocks...and they all look great! Average weight loss is about 11%, spot on! Two of the cochin eggs have only lost 3% according to my calculations...but I don't think that's right. There's lots of movement and their aircells are perfect...so who knows what's going on there.
Got some GREAT candling videos! Some of the eggs seem to be transparent enough that it feels like you're looking right at the embryo.
This little one has had me worried since the beginning. It's chilled out at the edge of the egg like that since I first day it, and the veins are not as "robust" looking. Also not as much movement, but we'll see what happens. It's still growing and moving though
And this is one of my day 12 sizzles
Ducklings need a higher protein feed than chicks; give them either game bird or broiler chick starter. I don't use medicated feed for anything. In fact now I usually feed the higher protein broiler chick feed even for my layer chicks. They just seem to do better at 22% than 17%OKAY....Stopped by WallyWorld to pick up some Rubbermaid Tubs. I got two because after reading and deliberating, I thought I would put the ducks in one and the chicks in the other. If all goes well, it may be 6 Pekins and ?# / 28 chicks. I have one heat lamp, so I will have to pick up another at TSC and some Pine shavings...OH and some Unmedicated flock food (since I'll have the ducks). What else am I forgetting?
