Hwey ChicksOMy.... I love the BEIs. They are really healthy. I lost one. It had pipped at the wrong end and I wasn't able to help it in time. But the others are all healthy, Once they are drier I will get pics of them

I so happy you got babies I was thinking it had to be time... I can't wait to see the pictures

Yep, It's me!!!!!!!!!!!! Boo I'm everywhere. LOL

Chicken Crazy- I found you on FB. Recognized you from your email. I'm slow on the upload sometimes.

LOL, so are my drakes. Gotta get rid of one because I don't have enough girls to go around now that spring fever has hit the boys.

Yup! And he is one Hoooooorny little thing. Good Lawd! Just started this week. He's chasing the mallard around.. only she's quicker than him and has flying abilities. Very comical.

Maybe Buff Orpington and Jumbo Buff Orpington Duck????

What's a JBO. I'm sitting here trying to figure that out. Junior Buff.. no.. Jumbo Buff?

Well, I can now see the beak on the one I pipped this morning. It is at the very pointy tip of egg and trying to work its way towards the hole. I think it is breathing ok, but it may be sucking down blood that is sitting in egg. I am debating on trying to prop it up at a slight angle, but I really don't want to open the bator as keeping humidity up is critical.

You are in a tough spot. It's time to follow your inner ducky.

I hear ya Spring Fever. I put 12 eggs in a couple days ago.. Hoping he "hit the mark" so to speak. Lord knows he's had enough practice!

ChicksO- I LOVE your blue mallard! I've never seen one before. OMG I want one!! Wow.

Yeah, Jumbo Buff Orpington. I think someone on here was trying to pass them off as another breed. I'll do a search.

there are only a few around and the only bad part is you do not know when your going to get one because the hatch the same color as a normal one and you have to wait tell there fully feathered to tell
