No, not really. The waterfowl needs to have a higher humidity than chicken eggs...

Okay...I'm not exactly sure how this works but I'll give it a try (let me know if I'm doing it wrong)

I'll take the White Chinese and Sebbie eggs and offer 2 American Buff goose eggs and 2 Silver Appleyard duck eggs.

A note about the buff eggs- I'll send three eggs because there is a slight chance that one is from my sebbie goose (fertilized by a buff gander) so one may not be purebred.

I tried chicken and duck in the same bator (once, so no expert here) and one went rotten and three others quit early.

Now I have all of the duck eggs in a seperate incubator - crossing my fingers for hatches.

Can we call "Dibs if Shadyglade doesn't want those"? if so, I want em

(eta - I would have call duck eggs to offer - my blue hen was gotten by a hawk, but I have a khaki hen and a blue drake.)

Go for it any one. Sorry I've been outside all day its finally sunny and warm here. It's a chain lets get it rocking & rolling.

I would love to have the buff goose and duck eggs from Western Chick.

I can offer 2 embdem goose eggs and 1 chinese goose egg.

I guess I ought to ask, before taking any offers, if the khaki call duck hen with a blue call drake is aceptable here - both are calls, but not both the same color.

I have eggs "brewing" from them now, so I can take pics at some point (if they actually hatch - all of them so far have been fertile, but I hear call ducks are hard to hatch) so everyone can know what they might get out of them.

OP, would that be acceptable?
