Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

Looks like my drake squated on only a FEW of my eggs LOL!

My mom gave up on trying to stop me from hatching eggs. I'll tell her and shes like "OK, as long as you can sell them!" lol

What you setting aside? what breeds?

They're all together right now, so they're going to be mixed breeds. Got khakis and pekins laying (I think) and runner, swede and khaki drakes. I'm curious to see what kind of babies my ducks make!

Whats so special about this "easter" hatch? I keep hearing about it! I'm so confused.... I would like to hatch along with the easter hatch, i dont know how though...

It's just something fun that people do here. I set my eggs three days too late, so no Easter hatch for me!

Interesting! No runners?

hey quackrrs, i wonder which drake squated on your eggs LOL

People who signed up for the Easter hatch had to set their eggs all together. But I think today was the day they set them.

There is a thread about it... I think in the Hatching thread.

Ok, now I'm worried that my math is off. I set eggs Tuesday and Thursday. So I thought I'd miss the Easter day by 3 days-ish.

Julie.. Have you done any googling on your egg yet?

Bobwhite Quail

I don't remember what it looks like now... except for it had spots.

I haven't found any that look like it.

It's not the dark colored runners *if* any of them are laying. They are all white eggs. One does have that runner egg shape, but not sure...

Some of my ducks hadn't started laying yet when winter hit, so they'll start when they're ready, I suppose.

Our khaki-colored runner drake has been getting busy a lot lately. I would guess it was either him or the fawn & white runner drake twins.

I've also got pure runners and bei's in the bator. And the two goose eggs.
