Eggs aren't smooshed. We shall see.

Those Lavender Bantam Ameracauna eggs are so TINY!

were they scrambled?

and smaller than a silkie (chicken) egg??

 

[country_girl011]

Of course. Now why didn't I snap them last night?

=)

I don't check them until day 7. Everyone gets a chance.

It's probably bad practice, but I want to believe they're all viable. It's like the X-files... I WANT TO BELIEVE!

I've never seen a silkie chicken egg. They are bigger than the eggs in the birds nest by our back door (in my hanging basket, nonetheless).

Haha. Yes, I will take camera upstairs and snap the birthday crested whatever-it-is.

The brand new Crested Whatever It Is duckling:


The Not Crested Whatever It Is duckling:


The crested is probably a swedish, the other one has brownish patches, but doesn't walk like a runner. Feed store said the box was marked "mixed ducks" when it arrived.

Hi guy's it has been awhile since I could get back.
I got my NPIP certification paper work today!!!!!! Ya, I now legal in MN to sell hatching eggs and chicks! I hatched out a crested or tufted Rouen out of my Blue (Bob) drake and I just noticed that I have a semi crested female. Her crest isn't real good but the baby has a great one. Will try and get a picture sometime today. I have been trying to see everone's breeding pens but it seems like no one show's them. Is there a page that would show them for ducks and chickens?

 

[JulieNKC]

Good luck with that

you know you couldnt resist if they had just what you needed

Luckily, they had everything but what I wanted. Me and the baby got to take a nice road trip by ourselves though, so it was worth it for the peace and quiet.

see no joke the silkie could totaly pass as a peachick

The last 2 silkies are in the dryer. My last little butterscotch baby is still attached to the egg, and looks herniated. Not sure...never had a baby look quite like this. I moved it to the dryer just now, in a container, to see if it will help it to shrink. Was hoping moisture would help, but no go. I've kept it in a container so it didn't yank the shell off too early and bleed out. Don't know....
