Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

Bummer. At least you got an email. You better post pics first thing.

Usually when I track something it's always a day behind in being updated anyway, so maybe it's better that I can't check every 5 minutes to see where my babies are, lol.

I was wondering that too. Perhaps a human complex b, vit e, and a little selenium would be a more direct attack. But I would have no idea what dosage to give.

I've noticed that with the USPS. I get a notice that my package is delivered like a day later. Thanks for that update... they're in the bator.

I read that on the second thread I posted. It said Vitamin B. Maybe up that dose? They sure are cute little things.

Try this thread, looks like there's some good info on it.

Julie, that thread definitely gives me a lot of hope. It does talk about using specific vitamin gel caps with dosage... but I thought I read someplace else that ducklings couldn't maximize vitamin e without doing it in combination with selenium. For niacin, I bought active dry yeast, not realizing that brewers yeast was different. So, I guess I should go out and buy the right stuff.

Hi everyone! Im a few pages back, but I had to say that I've experienced what QuackerJack is talking about. Kinda made me wonder.......

CG: I think it's too early.

If it makes you feel better, I've been hearing what I call "Phantom Peeping". It's where I swear I hear a peep coming from the incubator. When there's NO WAY. LOL.

 

[Marty1876]

Yeah! I'm bidding right now too... But not on pekings!

I just won 12 Pekin duck eggs!!!

Julie- Glad to hear the stork is on the way with those goslings!

Iain - Im glad you started a thread, I really hope someone can help. Its clear that a lot of folks here are really working hard on twists behalf. Good Luck!

I guess I'll go scratch the ground and lay eggs awhile, since everyone else is gone. Hope I didn't run you off!
