The top needs some tweaking. He's going to make me a door with a handle that I can lift up and also some kind of latch. He didn't get the right wire so I'm going to reinforce it with the smaller wire in a few. And then I have to paint everything. Later I'll use this as a breeding pen when I move things to my parents.

Utah: Thanks!
CG: I like that! And I saw where you got your names from when I googled.

I don't know if you guys caught the convo that I was having with DG about her Bobby... And I said mine were on day 21 ect...

Well, I just candled and I have 4 that have internally pipped. ?????????????????????

its from a christmas movie. about a cow. its called anabells wish .
but its sooo cute. you guys would love it. if you havent seen it i recomend watching it =)


and seriously?
thats soo weird.
did you get the date wrong?

Did you candle them? Easier that way. and less bleh.

You need to candle Bobby! I don't know what's up with mine.. I guess I had the date wrong. But according to metzer they looked day 24 so... interesting.

I think I'd candle and maybe float test before I'd go pokin a hole in an egg. If it's rotten.....

Yep, candled 2 times since lockdown... NOTHING!
What day are your duck eggs on?.... What breed are these?

I think they're gonners then DG. Give them one more day.

These are the Saxony. I was guessing on the day because I didn't write it down! oops. But I bought them on the 3rd of Feb.. Which was a Friday.. But I thought I set them on that following Thursday, who knows..

When they're done I'm shutting the cabinet bator off. It needs a break. (and so do I) Plus with my girls starting to lay, I can hatch my own duckies!!! Got 3 more eggs today! These aren't blue though... so I think they're Ancona Girl.

Should be a day now those combs are way to big and red for them not to be laying!

CG: I'll check out that movie. My daughter would love it if it's about cows.

And I guess I did get the date wrong..

Evelle: The black one was laying. She's almost a year old. And the 2 RIR's my brother gave me and I'm not sure how old they are, I would guess 2 years. They were laying for him, and for me for awhile.

I think they're pissy.

ETA: They also went through a really nasty molt about 3 weeks ago.. That's when it stopped.

Evelle: That's GREAT NEWS!!!!

I've been hanging around the EE foram and hearing horror story's that there des layer brown eggs I was for sure thinking since she's well over 8 months was laying brown eggs since I only get 4 white eggs from my leg horns and brown eggs from everyone else I will post pictures ASAP! (tomarrow!) it went right into the bator, I wish my EE roo would get busy! I want more EEs
