Awwww probably from my white girl. Either her or the black tail buff are my suspected silkied gene carriers. Still trying to pin down which one it is (or both)

5 lings in a bucket

 

[WVduckchick]

my exchequer girl is off her nest and the eggs are cold. Today is day 14!! Guess I'll bring them in and put them in the bator :/ how long should I give her? It's been a few hours already. I covered the door to her coop with chicken wire so the others couldn't bother her. Now she is just sitting by the wire looking out at them.

Doesn't end until May and I have 4 broodies at the moment, and call ducks coming!?!? I can see phone memory overload coming quickly.

Thus the reason I have to have a phone that allows SD cards, lol...

Good luck!

I'd let her out for a bit, see if she tries to go back in a couple hours or so...

Duckies are going off to their forever home

There is already a Call there so I hope they all get along. She has 6 acres and a pond and all sorts of nice things for them.

DH is actually sad to see them go. So maybe, just maybe, I will find him building a duck pond and pen out back this spring.

sorry

but maybe, just maybe

Woke up to see that my little long had made an external pip, didn't really stress over this and put baby ling back in the bator. Decided to check on him after I returned from chemo hoping no progress had been made because today is only day 22 and this little one isn't ready to hatch. That's assuming that my assumption is right and this is an egg from my Rougen hens. It was significantly larger than what the calls lay so I am assuming that it's on a 28 day incubation time line. I wasn't expecting any progress but always expect the unexpected. When I opened the Bator I noticed that little ling went Shaw shank redemption on me and pecked a significantly larger opening and around the opening and shell there was bright red blood. So I took a Q-tip and ran it along the inner shell in hopes to stop any bleeding. The problem is little ling won't stop pecking and I'm afraid it's doing damage that will cause it to die. Why would he be so anxious to hatch when he has 6 days left to hatch. There's no way he's absorbed the yolk, what should I do if there's more bleeding and is this normal for them to hatch before the 28 days is up?? I'm worried about my little ling

good luck!!!

Wow. So the whole family came. They rescue Clydesdales, have a wallaby, llamas, miniature horses, a "zorse" zebra hybrid, chickens, an Arctic fox, crested ducks of various varieties, and the Call. And appropriate housing for all of them.

They left here with six call ducklings, 2 Ohiki, and a pair of Seramas.

awesome!!!

Oops! At least it's fine, lol... oh, check these out...

Dunno if I have ever seen THAT big of schnozes on any Calls before!

also sounds like you will get very dirty eggs

Thank you, but not until the AI crap blows over... there was another case confirmed in KY tonight and KY is imposing a stop movement on all poultry starting Monday... Alabama and Georgia already instituted stop movement and we're just waiting for TN to join in... I am even debating whether I will set anymore eggs at all for a while... if I can't sell any, I really can't afford to hatch either...

i hope it passes quickly

I've been seriously freaking out here...
The red x is about where we are... the cases in TN were found in Lincoln and Giles cty...

Found me a new drink.

This stuff is yummy

interesting, lol, looks sweet though
