I'm breeding a BO duck to a JBO drake.

Amazing as it may be.... both eggs I internally pipped appear to be improving. The blood on the one I pipped 14 hours ago is receding and the yolk sak is getting smaller too. Its heart is pumping strong. I do not have to strain to see breathing/pulsing on the one I pipped a couple of hours ago.

Babies are doing great. I have 5 BEIs that are crawling all over the incubator. I will move them out sometime today. I also have 11 others that are suppose to be Pekins and Runners but it looks like the males I sold him were quite busy. There is only one or two that look like Pekins the rest are all different looking but beautiful. I may just have to keep some of them..

I know who's black and white back that is......

These ducks don't know the real danger they're in...



And yes I know this baby's clothes don't match. I ran out of pants and she kept getting muddy and wet. Lol.

What's a JBO. I'm sitting here trying to figure that out. Junior Buff.. no.. Jumbo Buff?

Awesome!




How is that Sebbie egg doing?

Yup! And he is one Hoooooorny little thing. Good Lawd! Just started this week. He's chasing the mallard around.. only she's quicker than him and has flying abilities. Very comical.

I'm wondering the same thing. You would think by now that I would get the hang of all of these abreviations, but this one has stumped me.

Chicken Crazy- I found you on FB. Recognized you from your email. I'm slow on the upload sometimes.

Well, I can now see the beak on the one I pipped this morning. It is at the very pointy tip of egg and trying to work its way towards the hole. I think it is breathing ok, but it may be sucking down blood that is sitting in egg. I am debating on trying to prop it up at a slight angle, but I really don't want to open the bator as keeping humidity up is critical.

Hwey ChicksOMy.... I love the BEIs. They are really healthy. I lost one. It had pipped at the wrong end and I wasn't able to help it in time. But the others are all healthy, Once they are drier I will get pics of them
