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

CLR is safe or are you trying to exterminate again?

The lack of trust you DUX peeples show me is so hurtful......




I use the CLR to clean things and I rinse or wipe them down really well afterwards.

I doubt anything that rips off the scum, rust and lime build up the way CLR does can be save for anything....

I wear latex gloves when working with it..(Does this surprise any of you?) I use latex glove for everything I touch almost....

Some one as sweet as me has to be careful because I melt so easy......


I did learn something from you DUxxers....... Sort of. I decided to not use my plastic hatching trays for this hatch of turkeys. They seem to be hatching just fine. I only had a dozen eggs so I just rolled them into the hatcher like marbles....and they hatched.

I have not hatched enough to experience this yet. . so I will take precautions to keep it clean
I do love that my new one is all plastic and I feel like I can know that it's clean. Styrofoam seems to me like it would hold on to bacteria down in it.

As long as your just hatching DUX, I cannot see where a little bacteria could hurt.

Can anyone offer an opinion of my geese aircells? 21 days. Hard to get pics when they are filling up.

I got a scale to weigh these but they were too heavy for it and I didn't have time to wait for a different one. So visual it is. Also I'm not sure how many days these guys incubate for so I'm just assuming 28 days.

I had a bad egg burst in a styrofoam bator years ago. Smelled forever more. I'm loving the plastic too. I'll be able to easily clean the turkey out after they hatch.

Oh man!!! this hurts........

I was being nice too.....I did not ask how you can tell a good DUX egg from a bad one??Or if there is really a difference and I didn't......

This morning in my basement...

Well. . I know exactly 0 about geese eggs. . but I would think it would be about the same as duck. . that looks pretty good size to me for day 21. I bet they are doing just fine

It seems they develop the same from what I read here. I'm so hoping they do ok. Thank you! Hey any luck on your fox?

You are correct they should be treated like DUX..

Come and get one.... I will have coffee, tea or whatever your beverage of choice is ready for you...

Bring the Hubby....You would never find your way home if you came and we would be stuck with you......Which would be worser than having a DUX......
