QJ!!! Where have you gone!? I just PM'ed you something inportant! (spelled that wrong lol)

I just PM'd you back! He's great. I went out to put them up and he was sleeping with them in the duck pen. I have them in the little pen next to the house, so I'm going to have to retrain them to go to the big one. He's a big boy! One or 2 more ducks is all that will fit in there!

Hee hee - just went back and saw this. Yay - 10 000!!

But where is the Australian representation in that image?

I guess I can be an honourary American for the purposes of the 10 000th post.

They are only 4 weeks old.... We will see. Anyhoo....

Jasmine, you will love the blue when she puts size on. Nice copper starting to peak through on the black too. Unfortunately they don't meet the French standard though because of the lack of leg feathering. We have a couple in our eatting egg flock w/o legs feathering the blue lays a deep egg, but not as dark as some of the BCM eggs get. They are still pretty though, and chatty girls too.

No internal pip yet, but you can see the beak trying to press into the air sack. About 7-8 look almost fully developed, and the rest look 1-2 days behind them. 9 are rocking now. I have temp at 99 and humidity at 55 and they are all safely moved into the new bator. I did not turn them.

I will try to get a pic of our blue girl tomorrow, she has a large rear end, lol. They are hatched with feathered legs if they are going to have them. Our son raises BCM, I have a blue and a splash just for fun, our blue is leaking copper now so she is ending up a blue copper marans after being only blue until recently.
