Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

[Goin Quackrrs]

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?

Congrats on your NPIP!

Gq. I agree its aa crested sweedish
And i wud say the other is runner just hasnt developed the walk

Thought so. I was hoping they were some kind of oddball duck.

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....

I'm having a weird, odd, frustrating, lousy day so far.

We had someone show up to look at the car I have for sale. They were all interested and made an offer but said they had to run up to the bank to get the rest of the money. Oh, but wait, our truck is stuck in the ditch, can you pull us out?

So hubby rescued them. They never came back for the car. And I thought they were totally serious, they had a car trailer on their truck and everything.

In the meantime, the one duck customer who didn't back out was already several hours late. We get idiots pulled out of the ditch, I wrote up a bill of sale and got all the documents ready to sign off on the car and the duck buyers show up. So we go upstairs and the ducklings have practically drowned themselves in their water. They spilled so much out of the waterer that they're soaked and standing in half an inch of water (why the pellets didn't soak it up, I'll never know).

So now I'm holding a half-dead duckling, trying to warm the silly thing, and trying to explain to the buyers how to tell a good runner from a pet quality runner.

So, had every buyer I talked to come through, I'd have $3060 in my pocket. I have $18.

I don't know if I want to scream or cry.

Oh, and one of my ducklings has a herniated belly button that I didn't notice last night.

I hate flaky people. Drives me nuts too.

I've had quite a few ducklings with big belly buttons that closed up within a few days and I couldn't even remember which ones they were after a few days. Didn't seem to affect them at all.

Dutch, hope your baby is ok!

Quackers, sorry to hear of your day. That's not how a spring Saturday is supposed to go!

 

[JazminesZoo]

hello all!

Went to the 2 poultry auctions today & I came home with just an 18 pack of fertile chicken hatching eggs for $1.50
Haven't decided if I will hatch or have an omelette

I had a very nice and productive day today and I even got my dewlap babies outside for their first adventure. Spirit trucked around well on the uneven ground, but I don't think she can tug on the blades of grass like the others. So, after a short cruise around to check things out, she decided she'd rather lay in my lap and watch the others.

I think the ducklings are all dead because of the 105 degree night accident The pipped one has not moved in two days and is shrink wrapped and the others show no signs of life
