Shaws call duck incubation thread (hatch a wonderful(worthless to Ralphie) dux thread)

[iluvsedward]

Doing good as far as I can tell. .
A couple or 4 Cayuga eggs somehow jumped in the incubator with the call duck eggs . . . . I don't know how that happened. . . .

Still nothing on the broody eggs. Air cells did look a bit like they were starting to dip and get bigger last night. So. . Guess I was just way off on when I thought they should be due.
I didn't mind your hatching drama coming here. . that's how I've learned is from everyone else's experiences!

Eggs wind up in my incubator allll the time... its a mystery!

Hope your broody does alright!

What happened to it?

It was running with a pair of PVC cutters in it's wing. I have told them not too.....But do they listen...NOPE....

It fell on the open PVC cutter and then the cutter closed on his neck....it was terrible..

He fell into a pot of almost boiling water...I got him out in about 20-30 seconds, but the damage was done and all his feathers fell off.. terrible terrible terrible accident...

I figured he got shot by the Dux Hater, but no he was decapitated. By same.

No, no, no..he fell on the PVC cutter...I never would shoot one of my turkeys.......even though I did think about it yesterday when he attacked me with my back turned and was bending over to pick up an egg.


I know he fell on the PVC cutter because that is what the claim to the insurance company says happened to him...

Your kidding right he didn't fall on PVC cutter. You are kidding.

Nope, not kidding he fell on the open PVC cutter.....

I must admit it is strange how these accidents always happen 3-4 days before a holiday though.
