Hi Peeps!!
Sleep tight!
My hubby is away in Melbourne at the moment so I am fending for myself. Had take-away (i.e. take-out) curry for dinner. Was good except my dog and chickens all gave me googly eyes the whole time, begging for my curry. The dog got some curry, the chickens got some rice. I was eating outside, watching the ducks. They on;y beg for peas. Good thing it wasn't a pea curry.
both babies are doing good.
baby #1 is up on her feet waddling around. she isnt upright but her feet are under her.
baby # 2 is scootchin around. and pretty active.
neither are quite dry yet but i took pics none the less.
and the rest of the eggs. i have 1 that looks to be internally pipping. will assist some when i get home. rest of the eggs are DEAD. so i may get 3 babies outs this deal.
pardon my photography behind the bator. that part of the wall is covered init.
neither baby wanted to hold still. so sorry they arent the best.
this should tell you how small they are. i do not have big hands, my hands are small. and look how tiny he is in comparison.
Oh and celtic. will they be grey?
or blue fawn? or what.
they kinda look lighter, their dark doesnt look quite black. but maybe its cuz they arent fluffy yet)
CG, what goes around, comes around. I would have been lost without this forum and I don't think Caboose, Twist or Tink would have made it either. So we (ducks and myself) all thank this place and the wonderful people who help us out!
Update on morning candling/turning. A few of my anconas have shadowing in back of air cells. My pidgey cayuga eggs are still alive but appear to be a couple of days behind. I think I may try to squeeze them into goose bator to give them another 1-2 days of drier humidity conditions before putting them into hatcher.
And for my new goose eggs: My 2nd Erin toulouse egg is still really trying to develop.... but I tossed the completely scrambled egg this morning. I kept the 3rd egg in bator, but I expect I will toss it in a few days too. AND... drum roll.... it's only been 72 hours for my dewlaps, but I THINK (just maybe) I see fertility in all 4 of them.
awe glad they'er making friends!
Good Morning Everyone!
CG - The babies are adorable, and you did a wonderful job! I'm so happy for you.
Iain - My Giant Pekings go on lockdown tomarrow ! The cells are angled, except the two that are kinda wonky did turn, but they are big and oddly shaped.I've been candling them every night when I spray them. Got the Hova simmering on Sauna mode, ready for my water babies.
Also, very happy to see you probobly have spiders going inside those rolls royce eggs of yours! I'll be needing to call her myself. Hope she'll have some after Easter still.
Oh, sadly, there is only one Giant Toulouse still showing a spider, and one small blood ring starting, and two duds.
Geese are just like teenagers! but not quite as mouthy,lol
How has everyone been?
First load of muddy clothes in the washer. Went outside for 2 minutes because I thought my duck was drowning. She was alone in the pool and I didn't see her for like five minutes. I put on my shoes and walked back there and she was sitting on the step preening. Little brat was just swimming around under water. I walked back up front, and my 2 year old had opened the door and her and little sister were out playing in the cold mud having fun. They both cried when I made them come inside.
So ugly their cute? like bulldogs
I want these !!! I am Bidding on these...... I REALLY WANT THESE !!!!
