I thought this was cute...what else do you see?

My incubator full of EE eggs!

My silly hens hiding!


Finally, DUCKLINGS!

I've got about 19 of these so hang in there






I just love the way the blue duckling sleeps LOL look at the blue duckling under the light!



The little blue guy LOVES to pose!


look at the blue one sleeping! too cute!



I absolutely love it when ducks look up to see something above them. So cute!

Dinner time! and blue duckling stays nice and cozy

Finally blue got up to get some dinner

My 2 older ducks, 1 Blue Swedish, and 1 Khaki Campbell. Both boys :

Oh! and the random chicken in the Duckling pictures is actually Hestia, my older EE hen's daughter Hestia used to be a friends but she gave her to me for my birthday and she had roosters so I decided to try and incubate and hatched 1 chicky!

Those ducklings look good Hector! I love how the color turned out on the blue one and the black ones look EXACTLY like Bond did when we got him from you as a duckling. Also good to see him in those pictures, he really is a stunning looking duck, the green head seals the deal. Whatever you do, don't sell the blue one! If it turns out to be female bred that one with Bond and you're more likely to get more Blues since you have to have one blue and one black to get blues. Thanks for the pictures!

Hector, love the pictures! That Araucana is really looking nice. She has some really nice tufts. Lucky to have two tufts. She is a sweet bird. I love the baby ducks. Their little beaks and feet..too cute.
Wow, just took another look at that Araucana..she is really beautiful. Can't get over the tufts, they are so full. That's hard to get.

Hi kid!

I love Vernal! We used to go there a lot when we had kids..to see the dinausars bones! It's very pretty there too. We liked to make the drive up to the dam.
I live in Spanish Fork. Wow, we are getting folks from all over! Fun!

Welcome kidasoto!

I'm not in Vernal, but I thought I'd say hi, anyway. Watching the chicks grow is pretty fun. I don't know what I'll do with myself when one of mine gets old enough to start squatting. What breed(s) did you get?

Chiko, that buff mix hen you have is very pretty. Thanks for all the pictures! You've got some good-looking birds. I don't dare get a duck because of how messy I hear they are, but I think they're cute, nonetheless.

Cynthia, I can't remember why you have screws in your neck? The x-rays are interesting to see. And your babies are so cute! I can definitely see feathers coming in on the bum of two of the Exchequers. I hope you get a girl out of the group. Have you gotten your new camera yet? I use Canon's and like them very much. They take a good, clear picture.

Elk - Yes, I'm worried that there are probably more racoons lurking in the area. I have my suspicions that the one that's been raiding my coop is a big momma coon, which means there are probably babies running around. I thought about trying to discreetly slide a board under my broody at night and carefully move her and the nest into a spare coop that's set up inside a run, but I'm really nervous about breaking her of the broodiness. I feel lucky to have even gotten a hen to set, in the first place. I don't know what I should do

I don't want to lose her or the babies.
