G'Day from down under Mammaj5 Welcome!

Sorry, no duck or incubator experience here, just hatches under a broody chicken ... best wishes .. very exciting!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out. There are some down the bottom of the page which are duck specific.

Including your general location on your profile will assist others. Location, climate, season etc can be important factors when members are responding to any questions you may have and vice versa.

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.

It's been 16 hours and the progress is SLOW! It's killing me. Lol but I just heard peeping for the first time and I can see it still wobbling around in there. And this little guy started the day after lockdown. I keep having to remind myself to use patience.

Howdy so happy for you, hope you have a great hatch!

 

[Chickens r the best!]

We have 10 that made it to lockdown. I had to work tonight so hubby is egg-sitting and sending me pics. Looks like there will be one more hatched by the time I get home. That will make 4. And I think at least 3 more have pipped. This is so exciting!

Hiya and !
It does indeed look exciting around your place. The anticipation and adrenaline that mounts over the last days of the hatch seems to be contagious around the house- and looks like you've even infected us on here.
So glad to see everything's going smoothly!
