My grandpa also used to give his ducklings bread and milk for their first meal. That what his mom did too.

Is it just the one egg? What is your temp and humidity at? Day 29... no movement for 24 hours... I would candle to see if alive... then maybe externally pip the shell. I would not wait until tomorrow to do this.

Agreed. I saved one that way last hatch.

the little red hen took off running and screaming when i went to pick her up. hopefully she goes back on her nest..

Hey guys HAPPY ST.PATTY'S DAY!!!!!

I don't blame you. A good mixer is (almost) better than a good man! Having both is heaven... okay, having a good man, a good mixer and ducks is heaven!

i am lucky to have all 3!

Morning all

Afternoon

Yes! Hippies have Pee Pee's! And they LOVE to use them!

And all my turkey eggs have babies in them. First 100% development rate on shipped eggs!

Great news the little duckling that was rejected got accepted by mama this morning and the little duckling has 8 other hatching's to keep him company and more still hatching! I'm so glad mama Scobie came to her senses I was worried about this first time mama! I saw some Lavender and blues in this clutch I'm excited so see more once they are all hatched! yay! what a lucky St. Patty's Day!






(The "reject duckling" is saying hi to his mama for the first time, he is by her bill)




(So happy!!!! I love baby Scobies)

Good news! beautiful pic

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!

Love the new ducky mama pic!

CG: sounds like you got a lot done! I'm pretty sure I have a broody RIR, but I don't trust her. She's flighty. I don't think they make good mama's. Anybody have thoughts on that?

Fiona isn't getting any signs of feathers yet. And I'm so excited for her to get them. I let her out with me to feed the chickens and she was following me EVERYWHERE. My neighbor got a kick out of that. She said, "That duck thinks your mama!" (Yes, I was laughing.) My neighbor is 70+ so she loves the 2 eggs I gave her yesterday.

so sweet!

I LOVE HER!!!!

what cutie!

Aww.

Glad mom took back the baby!

Sooooo cute, QJ! I can totally picture it!!

Yay for the duck momma accepting her hatchling!! Great pic!!

My buff dewlaps arrived!! Great packaging and dates marked on eggs are 3/13 & 3/14!

Whoo! Congrats on more hatching eggs!

grandma still thinks im lying that you put eggs in from the fridge and they are hatching.
she says its not possible.
im about to put some in there just to prove her wrong!
itd be my luck they wouldnt develope lol.

I've heard that fridge eggs will hatch, but only if they're less than a week old. I've been kicking around the idea of stuffing the bator full.

I didn't think they'd develop, just because they were in the fridge and over 2 weeks old.

Guess people have hatched chicks from trader joes, but I didn't think all 4 would make it this far. I was expecting 1-2.

Exactly. I think I want to try this just because.
