Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

Congrats on Hubby coming home Celtic. Hope we all get our eggs today!!!!

I HAVE AN EXTERNAL PIP ON MY PEKIN DUCK!!!!!! They aren't due till Saturday or Sunday. My chickens were suppose to hatch first but some of them haven't even had the air cell dip yet. Should I up my humidity on the chickens? I heard that you don't even need mositure for them. I have it at 33% now. Upping the humidity in the duck incubator now. Will it hurt my goose eggs though? I don't think my African's are fertile and I only have one Sebbie that is dancing inside its shell.

Congrats Cass, very cute.


morning to everyone else.

Hubby got to come home last night, was nice to have him home again.

Have to gather all of the ducklings and deliver them to the feed store this morning. Also picking up a new 6 month old female goat as a new companion to ours that is left in the pasture.

Lol, Is Johnny being mean? I believe appleyards are meat ducks, or at least heavy dual purpose ducks. I say eat him, too many nice drakes out there to have a mean one bullying everyone. Just make hubby pluck him.

This thing this morning, he is chasing around my little WH AGAIN. I don't know how to cull or anything about getting rid of him.. I can ask my neighbor though, He said it did it alot when he was in Mexico.

oh and i was right roues =2 eye stripes
and mallards =1
i looked itup.

Yes you're right.

The mallard will have a prodominate eye stripe and then one that is smaller or sometimes a dot for the second.

I forget who even has them now.. but post a pic.

Why don't you sell him? He's pretty, and kinda rare. I bet you'd have him gone today.

Hey guys!

Celtic, awesome news about your hubby!

CG, I saw the frame. It looks great!! Looking forward to seeing it finished and cute babies are running around in it.

SM, congrats on getting your eggs! Sadly, no eggs for me, and since she asked me to pay for shipping twice, I requested she refund my money instead.

Cass, I am so happy for your and your new baby!! Congrats!!
