Tis Time for a March 2020 Hatch-a-long!

[igorsMistress]

Three weeks is too long to wait... why cant chicks hatch in only 3 days.. (that's what day we r on)

It's not easy that's for sure!

Thanks FC! Keep your fingers crossed they're all pullets! My younger roo needs some girls.

They're not for everyone

As soon as I saw them I wanted them. This handsome boy needs some ladies too

And that’s why I’m glad I’m not hatching ducks

My Pekin and Muscovy haven't mated yet so I can't do those eggs yet. I don't know if I could wait that long. Emu eggs are even longer!

I wonder if the cross take longer or does it depwnd on mother? I have alot of respect for people who hatch Emu and ostritch eggs, you can't see a thing!

Mules take 32 days. So it's in-between Pekin and muscovy hatch times.

Don't mind the gross duck eggs they love laying them on the ground, but these eggs haven't been cleaned yet.

See the two little white ones... Think they're polish eggs? Those are the eggs that are in the bator right now.

Try waiting 50 to 56 days for emus!
