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

[shawluvsbirds]

We could rename this thread Fake Eilleen's Collection of feathered rats......... and other monstrosities...That Ralphie gallantly fights to save the world from.....

You don't think this thread has a long enough title already?

Hmmm carrier? Or I could be wrong to begin with.

Who knows what could crop up.

But I'm pretty sure all my pastels have had eye stripes and I don't remember any of the blue having yellow on their heads.

Watch them be drakes.

Declare them all drakes now and maybe they'll all be hens! You know how they like to do just the oposite of what we want...
I do hope you end up with more girls than boys tho!

It's the only one like that so I'll surely be able to keep track of it until it's big enough for a zip tie.

#9 is out! It's had a rough start. Poor thing was stuck stuck stuck. It's head got kinda glued in place of course right by the eye. The chest area was sticking out and all fluffed out so it had been that way for a while. Probably my fault for tampering with it this morning
BUT I worked it free.

Then the problem was this. . while I was doing that mama duck got up and took the babies on a stroll . . got them all riled up. Then she demanded to get out and left me to babysit.

that's her fixing to jump in the pond.
