Sally, Harmony is getting so big. Time flies so fast.
One of my babies went broody. She's so good. I tried to get her to a coop to herself but she wouldn't sit on her eggs, so I had to let her be. The thing is that where she is is overcrowded. But she defends her nest to the max.
I have tried numerous of times to incubate some duck eggs and am unsuccessful. Don't know how it's done. So I put three under her.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I know right!! oh I hope she hatches them for you!! what kind?

I'm going to try to join. My new bator should be here Friday and eggs should arrive next week. Just want to make sure they all arrive before I commit

YAYYAYYA Welcome over!!

Welcome to everyone that has joined in the past 200 or so posts. YAY
Also, I saw a lot of cute chick photos and Zia is a cute dog!

And, am I the only one sitting around waiting on chicks to hatch? Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock.... Just waiting. I think paint actually dries faster than this. The worse part is I actually can't tell if anything is going to happen or not. Just waiting.

Edit: I am on day 20 so...

lol WAITING with nose on the bator!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

I'm joining! I'm going to set some black penedesenca eggs. Hopefully with better luck than the Easter Hal... None of those hatched but 2 had full sized chicks, they just never pipped or hatched. I also had 2 or 3 that were real early quitters.. I am going to attempt using a scale to keep track of weight loss this time. I'm not setting them until next week at the earliest.

YAY Karen is in the house!!!!

Set for April HAL (hope I'm not too early to report #s)
3/24:
6 Cuckoo Bluebar from MPC- got more info after purchase and probably would have picked somethings different as reviews here aren't favorable.
10 White Leghorn- shipped from TN
18 of our OE
12 of our EE
3/27:
30 Nanci's mutts (coworker Nanci's barnyard assortment, includes NNs)

Unless we have a hen go broody, this hatch will probably be it for the spring- fishing/camping season is just around the corner and I hear high Sierra trout and foothill largemouth bass calling!

AWESOME!!!!!! Cuckoo bluebar????

I don't know the breed of the ducks eggs. All I know is that they are green. Lol
They are my neighbor's ducks.
