A fisher cat... looks like a mink to me. Big and bad with nasty claws.

Thanks everyone for the candling pictures! I'm going to try some more tonight with your ideas.

Well, put the first of the round of Will They Hatch eggs into lock down. Only 3 of the 11 had development at 14 day candling. One looks like it might hatch and 2 I'm sure won't, but will try anyway. Two dozen more in that went though the bouts of cooling to go.

Candled the call duck eggs last night, on Day 10.

I believe I need to find a thread called "None of these will hatch.".

Fishers, most commonly(mistakenly) called fisher cats, are in the weasel family. They are normally 6 ft in length(includes tail), about 2 1/2 ft tall, their head resembles that of a bear cub, they have no natural predators higher than them on the food chain, they are as fast in the trees as they are on the ground, they sound like a woman screaming bloody murder, are one of the few creatures to kill for the fun of it, and porcupine quills disolve in their flesh. They are one of the nastiest creatures on this planet!
Here is the URL to a pic of one:

Hi all, just a quick update before I head back out the door again. So far out of the 12 barnyard mix that went into lockdown on Monday I have 6 little fuzzies running around and 2 more pips. This will probably be the best hatch of shipped eggs I have ever had so far. I set 28 more this morning. I will post pics probably tomorrow.

Welcome !
What kind of bator did you find ?
Wow , 31 shipped [ and expensive] eggs purchased for your first run ? You're not foolin' around !

I'm not sure it's pretty beat up. It has a strong man on the label. I can't see much more than that. And no, I wasn't foolin' around. I learned about the Marans and dedided that I have to breed them. It might cost me but it will be worth it!

LivinWright, I had that happens to chickens a few years ago. I was told it would be a mink if it was taking the heads.
