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

[Ruralhideaway]

Hey there everybody. Hope everyone's doing well.

Spring here came so late that now I'm working just about dawn to dusk on my yard barn and coop projects. Tomorrow I get to move onto the duck yard!

I ended up with just 2 Shetland geese growing. Out of 13 eggs, only 1 was a quitter the rest were clears. Tough species for fertility. Luckily I have 5 growing from the mixed goose eggs.

Anyway no big news, just saying hi.

Hi! Glad you stopped by
When are your geese due to hatch?

I'm on day 16 for the shetlands. I'm only guessing they'll take 28 days, not much info out there about them. Only day 9 for the others. Oh I'm setting turkeys tonight for a friend, that should be interesting!
Does anyone have extra call eggs? Nothing going on in the sale forums that I've seen.

Lots of eggs. . but not going to be fertile
I removed my drake for being a butt. .and now the babies are out there and don't know when he will be able to rejoin.

My blue fawn girl is laying, but I'm not sure if they're fertile. My white and chocolate girls are mad and me and not laying because I moved them and introduced them to a new drake.

I should probably be really happy with these 6, just enjoying the babies so much I can't imagine being done already. One more batch would be nice!

Half of my young-ish Blue Coppers have decided to move back into my tiny broody house for bedtime. Interesting.

I've only managed to find 3 call eggs from my bunch, and 2 of those the dog brought me...

Wish I could help, I'm finding eggs sporadically now. Found 2 yesterday up under a board leaned against my building in my construction area. I'm pretty sure they are Lexi's, had to have been laid since Friday, but I can't find where Malibu is laying now.
I have quite a few to eat now, I can't always tell how long they laid outside. Lol

I finally have good draw down on most of my remaining eggs, and i think at least one internal pip.
