Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

[QuackerJackFarms]

I've got 4 Giant Toulouse eggs sitting up for 24 hours (Oh, they got here today, and good shape. All have loose air, but yolks intact), Dewlaps shipping tomarrow, and a passal of duck and chicken and quail, I'm gonna be all filled up again.

Oh, and hand turning besides.

And I'm supposed to lock down muscovies Wednesday night.

What was I thinking?

Wow! You'll be busy!

the baby getting ready to bail out of the basket is bobbys favorite him & one of the females have 2 eye striped the rest ony have 1 full stripe lol



i promise theres 12 in there

flippy is the only one who would stay in an egg


at this point everyone else had escaped and was put in my lap so i could keep track of thm.



lastnight the brooder was in my room but it was moved to the porch today.
riley is having a fit , he can no longer sit and watch HIS babies. so he sits at the back door and cries wanting to go see the,
its pretty sad. . when you show him a baby he just sits and looks at it.

You gots sum kewl stuff brewin! Where did you get your Cayugas & Canadian ?

The cayuga eggs are from my duck that I sold to a guy. He brings me in Pekins, blue swedes and cayugas to hatch and I get to keep them if I want or sell them or give them back to him, The Canadian egg my niece found when she was out hunting for mushrooms. No momma on the egg so she brought it to me to hatch, I just put it in the incubator tonight so we will see what happens with it

Whats up with you QJ?

I've got these 2 goose eggs due Monday. And my ducks are FINALLY popping out fertile eggs.. so we'll see who the daddy is on those..

Then today I lost one of my little Saxony ducklings after it drowned in the pool. (freak accident I guess.) And I also lost a goose I was hatching for a friend that was backwards.
