Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

[Goin Quackrrs]

All kinds of drama since I got home from picking up my paycheck. Got my butt blasted by someone on facebook who was offended by my photo of the smoked duck that I shared here the other day.

Having trouble getting the humidity up on my hatcher. Suggestions? I'm locking down tomorrow, so today is troubleshooting day.

Oh these are cute...

I want baby gosling so bad but my dad would kill me

Wow, they must be pretty rare. I can see that for really nice buff dewlaps, but I don't know about $80 for anything appearing so normal. They are pretty, but geese do tend to be attractive, after all. However, I will grant you that a friendly goose is a very good thing.

Are you gonna try and get them? I'm bidding on some blue copper morans right now. I want some super dark eggs too. Now, if the anconas due next week will just grace me with some blue or green eggs, I'll be a happy duck.

Which Blue Copper marans are you bidding on I do not want to bid against you

The more surface area the water has the higher the humidity can go.

Larger flatter pan, more sponges, wicking system ect.

Pip a hole. It's pretty much the same with chickens and ducks. Go slow, stop if you see bleeding, keep membranes moist. Just zip for them, they can push themselves out when ready (which has taken up to a day or two for mine). Good luck!
