I'm glad to hear everyone had a great turkey day. We spent part of our weekend creating a breeding pen, thankfully Ralphie didn't have a patent on his, as my husband designed it very similar. So with that being said.....tips and tricks for successful breeding of buff orpington and any other useful knowledge that my daughter should be armed with as this will be her (and my) first attempt at hatching chicks would be greatly appreciated.

Edited because I can't spell appreciated!

What i have gleaned is - Hatch lots and cull ruthlessly

Oh, and @NathanZee , no eggs yet. I expect my two KC females to be laying right now, but no such luck. I cleaned out a 10x10 dog kennel yesterday and DH put a roof on it. I have an extra dog house I'm going to toss in the there and hopefully get the kennel wrapped with plastic this week. My KC trio will go in there. I'll hopefully start getting eggs from them once they're settled in. They, not by choice, sleep with the Muscovys now. I think the stress of being penned up (They've been 100% free range until recently) and the bigger ducks hanging around freaks them out a bit. That's my guess anyways. I obviously tend to overthink it a bit.

Stupid ducks.

I'm sure your right, it's just the stress of moving.

Your VERY INTELLIGENT duckies will lay soon I'm sure!

Well, took a week long BYC break, and I had about 100 pages to catch up on, and I didn't even try to that one. I hope you guys had a happy Thanksgiving!
