I had someone on the goose thread ask for a new video clip of Spirit. Dutch, you also asked to see updated pics of her feet. Sorry to double post on both threads but here is the video clip taken today. She amazes me how she still continues to improve every day. I'm starting to believe she is going to have a normal life after all. She is 2 weeks old today.

Introducing the new (and very tired) silkie duckling!

15 days in transit?

Did you even dare to open the box?

They were all intact (except one was cracked) So 22 ... Doesn't mean they aren't WAY old !! But I am setting them overnight ~ pointy side down... in an egg crate on top of the Master Bator & will put them in the Btor in the morning.... So in a week I will candle or if I smell something funky

Just for an experiment really. I have NEVER set this old of eggs before

Braver than I! Poor Master Bator!

I candled the birthday silkie duck eggs tonight. It appears that I have 7 of 10 spidering. One looks really active and the rest are... iffy. Darn shipped eggs. I really want to get at least a couple. Should just sucked it up and gone with Holderreads. I would hope our PO would be kinder to live animals.

The bonus bantam chicken eggs seem to be looking good.

I locked down several Trout Runner and "Applewoods" tonight.

Little silkie duckling and its runner friend are slowly getting more active.

I just set my 2nd bator with eggs that I found that I figure are at least 15 days old, may even be 20 days old. I had noticed that 2 hens weren't laying any more. HA wrong!!! I found her nest and its even been raining cats and dogs the last 8 days!!! I'm gonna try any way. Good luck Jazmineszoo keep us posted how they do.

Woke up to a power outage, so we ran outside to get the gennie going...

Of course, power comes back on right about the time we run the extension cord up to the bator/brooding room. Hopefully no damage was done to the eggs I just locked down and all the eggs in my bators.

My little runner duckling, however, didn't survive. I doubt it was from such a short time without a heat lamp, but the little one was weak from the beginning. Now I have a very lonely silkie duckling.

I was with little runner when it took its last breath. It vomited up some dark, bubbly stuff and died. I think I had fluid in its lungs from hatching.
