Runners and a couple look like mama may have been the lone welsh harlequin.

The pekins and single khaki are the ones who followed me home from the feed store.

Now that my girls are starting to lay again, I need to set aside a few of ours for my next hatch. Tomorrow I have to disinfect the incubator and should have all my eggs ready to go in by Wednesday night!

I love my bator! Don't regret choosing that one. Now if only I could afford a second one!

The one laying down seems to have trouble with one of its legs.

They are adorable, love all the different colors. How old is the one with leg problems? Sometimes mine take a few days to get their legs and head under control. You can take vet wrap and make a splint pulling it's legs together for a few days and see if that helps any.

Quackers, precious!!!

Julie, I'll take pics for you in the morning, when light is better. They have sprouted overnight and look leggy. By the way, I have been adding one towel after another on the mats. They don't seem to be snagging their toenails anymore though.

That was the final duckie. Think 4:30 am was it's official time of hatch. It scoots and drags the leg behind it even though the leg works fine and I can't find any physical defect. Little quack doesn't seem too excited to try and get the leg under itself. Funny duckling.

I was thinking about trying to put a wrap behind the hip to prevent duckie from putting its leg back like that. But I'm afraid I'll have to end up covering the vent then...
