I know..

But he'll be okay with the external pip. I thought the timing was perfect for me! Duckies think otherwise. 4 days early! Wow.

QJ is this a Mallard?

I have an external pip already.. You have GOT to be freakin' kidding me.

Ducky! Note to self: You are due on MONDAY.

if he wants out today while your gone hes on his own

need to find eggs with watches and calenders

Ditto! Which just backs up my urge to lock down duckies tomorrow instead of Sunday!

I did a mass candling earlier, which is why I'm up so late. Takes a while to candle 84 eggs.

I love Marans, but I'm so nervous with the idea of hatching dark eggs!

Right!

QJ is this a Mallard?

I had that same thought. My friend told me they are mutt ducks and he doesn't know who bred who... but the eggs are HUGE. Although one is blue. I emailed him to see if he had a mallard though.

Well, I'm going to go get in bed. Good night everybody!!!

good night!... I mean... Good morning GQ!!

 

[QuackerJackFarms]

3 Pips this morning. Eager little boogers. They aren't talking to me though. Eager AND quiet.

Good morning, ladies. What is up with the early hatching? I need to check my eggs still, but am wondering how soon I will have to lock down my duckies. It's only day 23.
