That's a good idea. I just bought a bag today, but another few might be smart. I'm pretty good at resisting, but no reason to tempt myself.Hey all! Not going to try to catch up this time. Fridays I don't get home until very late, so I basically have two days to read through.
Kids somehow got a wild hair and knocked over some furniture in my bedroom. They are both in solitary until either: one confesses or it's dinner time. They're only allowed out to go potty. If I hadn't specified, they'd probably potty in their rooms to spite me.
I went and candled my eggs to cheer myself up. I hadn't expected the sudden movement and almost dropped the first one! 11 duck eggs going strong, 3 of 5 chicken eggs with obvious movement, two I can't really tell. Darn brown eggs!
8 more days for chickies, 15 for duckies!
I went to the feed store today and bought a couple week's worth of feed plus some supplies for the chicks because I want to keep them seperate from the duckies (and because they *should* be going under a broody hen 1-2 days after hatch). Had to stock up on feed store stuff so I don't go back again until I have hatchlings. They get their chicks and ducklings on the 9th, my chicks hatch the 11-12th-ish. Got to avoid the impulse buy.
I can see hubby: "I thought you only had 11 duck eggs? How come there's 20 ducklings???"
And 11 could easily turn into 20 if you had a bunch of double yolkers you didn't notice, right?
eeeeeeeekk
right I'll still be out for the look out for that perfuct male but I figured these guys are worth a try
