The 10th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!!

[CapricornFarm]

I am absolutely devastated. I put our first four Nankin peeps in the brooder. My EcoGlo brooder plate needs a new cord, which has not yet arrived, so I had a heat lamp on them. The lamp apparently shifted and I have four dead peeps - it took all of about six minutes. My poor babies. This was our best hatch ever - seven, so far, and now this. It's almost enough to make me quit. Almost.

Oh no, sorry you lost them!

Timmy didn't make it.
There's nothing sadder to behold than a flat chick.

Sorry, that is sad. Hugs.

Very true I’ve had zero before.

Ok I think the final number is 22 chicks and 8 ducklings. I still have a few eggs in the incubator but they are probably dead.

The chicks are here! All are alive and doing well! 43 chicks and 2 black ducks

Anyone have any idea on what kind of ducks these are?
