Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

Guess what?? I went to turn my eggs that are in with my day 24 eggs, and I heard one peep! I quickly candled and saw that 4 are either already internally pipped or about to pip! So I quickly moved the last of my day 20 eggs into goose bator (and my 2 pidgey eggs propped upright) and am now starting to slowly boost humidity. That little egg peeped loudly at me the whole time I was rearranging everyone for hatching.... and it's BLUE!

So happy for you!

No silly, they come in the fall! I actually took a mycology class. When we did one of our August mushroom hunts for the class in my dads cow fields, we gathered a few. We were very surprised when we took them back to class and identified them.

I was mortified.

It's funny now.....

What a cutie! Lovely photo. Will be blue with a bib. Looks like your Pekin is hiding a dose of Black (meaning that your duckling is blue all over...except for the bib). The blue most likely comes from the Buff. It's a sweetie - love the orange bill with the blue down.

Cool!! People round here regularly die from eating the wrong mushrooms. Not heaps of people, just a two or three a year. So don't do that.

Will check out the garden thread!

We have some bad ones too. Unforunately, the most commen one is Amanita Muscaria - The Destrying Angel. It can be mistaken for a commen edable, unless one does a spore print. It reportedly tastes great too. Then, 2 days later terrable illness, day 4 minor improvement, day 5-6 kidney and liver failure followed by death. untreatable. (so if you folks in the states find a lovely white mustroom in the fall - if you lay it on a black paper overnight, before eating it, if it has white on the paper below it DO NOT EAT IT.)

Most people here only eat morels, just to be safe.
