Well, I only have 2 duck eggs today.. so Beaker didn't lay. I need to figure out how old she is. I think she's on page 3. Lol.

What else? I guess nothing is going on here. I'm Boooooring today. Guess I'll have to do laundry.

I'm trying, QJ! It's just that the one baby definitely does not look to be turning right. It has made no progress up back of aircell and feels extra heavy at pointy end.

Dutch: Welsh harlequins have a sexlinked bill. Males have dark, females light. Every baby had a bill as black as night.

If I plan on getting more, I'm gonna send extra money, theres no way I'm taking those eggs, and only paying for shipping. I would feel horrible.

WH are NOT color sexable unless the male is gold and girls silver. You have to breed a gold line and a silver line to breed together to have sex linked babies like the hatcheries. Random wh bred together will not produce sex linkable ducklings.

Easter Egg Chickens













The Silkies, who are the babysitters to all the chickens and duck babies that I have

I have the brothers/sisters to your EE. Except the b;ue/black ones they look different though. Need to sneak them away from the broody and get pics.

Oh hey everyone!

I didn't forget there was photo request yesterday for....

3-week old Pekins! Who moved into the bathtub today!!!

Wow! They are big!

Morning All - Glad to hear of the goosie progress going on.

I woke up to a happy surprise today. I had button quial due Wed. night, but had given up on them anyway, becasue they felt so hollow. Well, woke up this morning to a non stop squick, and couldn't figure it out. There is one tiny baby button quail running around my bator right now. He'll have to stay there until after I get off work at one, and he's a day and a quarter late, but I'll take it!

Julia (tiny DD) is going to be so surprised!!! Pics later.

Yay for the button! Now he needs friends.

So is Fiona. I wish those feathers would come in a little faster! She's half and half right now.

Pics?
