Duckling Care & Brooder Ideas (and my Ancona Breed)

https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/duckling-care-brooder-ideas
what breed of duckies do you have? I want some but they are too muddy :(
 
so yesterday I was at my aunts house and suddenly the topic of my eggs got brought up since i Sell them to my uncles and dad's workplace. Well my uncle was saying how there was a chick in the egg and then i just about died because he thought the little speck was it actually beginning to form. my dad and i kept saying, 'THERE WAS A CHICK??? HOW?? DID YOU GET PICTURES?? AHHH!' we were going crazy. eventually he realized that it was just the fertility spot. I thought i owed a bunch of money back to people..

I had the same thing happen to me, with a meat spot, they swore it was a chick, I gave them their money back. They never bought eggs from me again.
Quote: I guess Sally asked first, but I will again, so when is the baby due. I suspect around April. My daughter is having her little girl April 28, I say say she will have it on the 25 which is the Pink Full Moon
Quote: thanks!! i got those from BHep for the NYD hatchalong

Good Afternoon Everyone. Hope your having a lovely Monday. About to get rain/snow here in the southern midwest. We are T-27 days till set day for Chicken Eggs.



In 1863 Charles Darwin published an inventory of all the chicken breeds existing at that time... All 13 of them. There are now over 150 different breeds.

I am off to surf the internet and see what 13 breeds he published................
Ok.......So I have to say that that project turned out to be a lot harder than I thought! I Can't tell you how many ways I searched that! I did eventually find it though. But before I announce the 13 breeds he published in 1863, I find that the most fascinating thing I found out today was that Google has a whole library of books you can search! Its like living with a library. Needless to say, I actually had to read a lot of Darwins book on the Origin of Species.........Dull even for a farm girl wantabee like me.

Now for what you all have been waiting for. Those breeds listed are.....

Game
Malay
Cochin or Shagai
Dorking
Spanish
Hamburgh
Crested or Polish
Bantam
Rumpless
Creeper or Jumper
Frizzled or Caffre
Silk
Sooty

Here is the link to where I finally found this info...

The Seabright is mentioned but from what I can gather he didn't consider it a breed because at the time breeding one seabright to another seabright gave you a completely different offspring.
 
When is Baby Blue coming???? YAY!!!
This is really funny because my fiance's nickname is Blu.
