My first girl was a polish and she had a chick last year that i got from meyers hatchery, and then I bought a silkie mother, of 4 and 1 died and the other 3 live, shes the one with the golden seabright now. Good mothers!
They are just so pretty!!!! Hugely jealous! im sat waiting for my first chick to hatch, he is half way there and has resorted to doing more cheeping than hatching! I hope to have some chicks just as cute as these!!
Maybe it's because the people on the forum don't recognize you or what you're posting doesn't seem to be interesting to them.
I had a hard time getting started here on BYC, but when I started commenting on other people's pictures, I started getting comments as well. If you want others to comment on your pictures you need to post pictures that others are interested in. Usually when I post pictures it's because the content of the picture is special to me, but it might not be for others, therefore the reason for no comments. I have no intention for this post to be offensive, but rather helpful.
Take note of the pictures that others comment about and practice posting to see what seems to get attention from others. Often the pictures that get my attention are the ones that others don't seem to find interesting, so I have learned to take pictures in a way that others seem to like and readily comment on. Sometimes I'll just post a picture for the pleasure of others and don't expect to get any comments.
Happy posting and learning!
They are my most difficult to candle. I have the Brinsea ovascope and it is still a challenge. I can tell if the eggs are full or not.......if they are, I just look for movement. It's a little easier right before lockdown. On some of them I can see bulging near the aircell.
These duck eggs are killing me....The 4 that I set at the same time as yours quit at day 19. I have 13 others that are at days 20 and 21. First time I have ever dreaded candling. I feel that these also will fade away before hatch time. They just string me along until almost the end. I don't have any call ducks myself. I can't find anywhere near me to get any. That's why I keep trying shipped eggs. Last night I candled and saw two perfect little webbed feet sticking up...Now I really don't want to lose that one. I can't believe you named one
I sure do hope he makes it for you!
Don't give up. 90% of my posts go without any reply. It does not bother me. This thread is speeding along and I admit that I skip about 10 pages to get somewhat caught up.
