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

[FortCluck]

The little silver/blue baby has my heart! I need ducks now! Oh no!

These are the two I want to keep. Depending on how the others look and their sex. I'm sure there will be more silver ones.

@CluckNDoodle wish you were closer! I'm not sure how much he is going to charge for these or if he's even selling them. I'm going to give them to him in a few days when all are hatched.

My house is so freaking loud right now. The ducklings and the bantams

I don’t foresee getting a break in the action for a while and I feel so bad for that chick that hatched yesterday morning. This is the longest I’ve left one in the incubator. It’s also shot up to 90% humidity in there thanks to a couple hatching at once. Wish I could snatch a few chicks out...

If you're going to, now is the time, while there are wet babies galore in there.

Yeah? You think I can quickly sneak a few out?

While the babies are wet and the humidity is spiked I think that's perfect timing to quickly pop a few of the older babies out. That's what I would do.

Ughhh.
Batch 1 is starting day 20 and temp/humidity are dead on, so nothing to do with them but wait and listen for internal pips.

I am watching an auction for eggs for the EHAL, it doesn't end for a few more hours and bidders are already running up the price.
Batch 2 is starting day 13. I may have to candle them a day early just to take my mind off the auction. I'm afraid the auction is going to go over my budget.

Do you know if a Blue amerucana lays blue or green eggs

Do you know if a Blue amerucana lays blue or green eggs

Ameraucanas usually lay blue to blueish green eggs. I think it depends on the bloodline how consistent the blue is.
