Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

Turning 8 weeks next week I believe. I will check dates again. She hardly ever nurses them, and trust me, they know biting hurts

what about cows milk and the puppy?

I have an amazing Puppy Grewl ! All organic & the bestest for rearing. It is also good for sick or healing dogs, ones that need to put on weight too

Shes a Anatolian sheperd.

Isn't it a cross too?

Marty, chicks, anyone that has hatched turkeys I have a question. My eggs started internally pipping around this time yesterday. No one has external pipped. I've only opened the incubator once when my humidity dropped below 60% to add water, turn, candle, etc. Humidity is staying around 60-65%. Does it need to be higher? Anything I should do?

Same here no pips.. But then later I see you have a pip so yay!

Egg shopping is always fun, and I like gambling

so the shipped eggs don't bother me too much. I'm excited about starting my own breeding flock though, and knowing the mommy/daddy to my future babies.

x2 Can't wait.

Qj! You can come get the puppy when you want her! Shes ready! Just gotta feed her puppy food a few times a day instead of just once. Moms not nursing pups anymore. let me know when you can get down here, and we can work it out, and you can come see the farm and everything! Also, I think I have a uploaded pic of her..... Let me check!

Holy Quack! She's not 8 weeks til.. Let me look..6 more days! I'll start planning the trip and let you know! !!!!!!

I have a baby!!! I have a baby!!!! The first one that pipped yesterday is out!!!!

My first duckling EVER!!!






One didn't make it through the night but the other two are hanging on.

Love the new fuzzy butt!!

Qjs Puppy!

thanks DG. I'm pulling that up now!

Deformity's happen in all animals, birds, etc, this one appears to be a survivable deformity. I say if he's growing, that means he's not having trouble there, which is pretty important.

My assisted hatch duck is also named lucky, and I guess he's two weeks old today. Maybe I'll go take a pic for Iain, who was up that night also being a hatch mama.

that is actually pretty cool. You gotta keep that one!

Here are pics of lucky, two weeks old today - here with a 3 week old chick (mille fleur of little DDs)



Here is lucky and Julia

That's about the prettiest little girl ever.

That would be fun, wish we were closer.

If Jazz lived closer I think we'd all be in trouble!!

Hey jazz!

I got 13 duck eggs cookin right now, 11 rouen, and 2 Welsh Harlequins, that may, or may not be pure breds. My rouen drake may have gotten to them.

In the brooder, all I have is a pair of pilgrim goslings.

so candled the chicken eggs again since its dark out now. i needed a better idea of what to expect.
so under the black hen. she has 10 eggs. 5 of them are internally pipped (so far), 1 almost has an ext pip (i can see the shell looking funny when the light is shined in it) so i will have babies tomarrow night!!!
under the red hen she has 6 eggs. 5 are int pipped or working on it. one looks like a no go (the air cell hasnt dropped)
i will be keeping a close eye on these guys all of them and if sunday morning any of them have not ext pipped yet they will be moved to the bator and helped .


ok so now for the pictures from today adventure (sorry there are a ton but i promise they are cute)
first the girls found the hayfield. the ducks are there to just cant see them bcuz they hay is soo tall


freeway decided it was a fun show. the girls completely ignored him



yang also enjoyed goose tv tonight



then the ducks learned how to get in the pool. they were proud of themselves


amelias first attempt to get in the pool.
it didnt end so well.
she got in got soo excited, she started zooming around and popped both herself and the brown duck clean outa the pool.
both were very confused. and got right back in



she loved the pool.
abagail never figured it out
