Beat me to it!
BlackBrookPoultry - the bash is going to be a 2.5 hour drive for me, but it's totally worth it! I dragged my two youngest sisters along last year and they had so much fun (mostly carrying around those baby bunnies all day
) that my mom took off work to bring them along again this year, since my fiancée and I don't want to deal with them in the car that long!
And I'll definitely be bringing some Calls along - Blue Fawn and Blue Bibbeds for sure, I'm keeping the Black Bibbed and the Black Bibbed/Magpie-ish ducklings I've hatched so far and the little Lilacs, and I'm going back and forth on the Mallard-Grey one that just hatched yesterday. If I'm getting Lilacs, I SHOULD eventually hatch some Chocolate Bibbeds as well - I'm crossing my fingers for those!
Don't really want to keep any Chocolates, just think it would be cool to hatch some!
The small batch of 9 eggs in the 'bator that were due tomorrow look like they're all done hatching. I got 6 out of the 9 - two Calls and 4 Hookbills. Will admitted to helping one of the Hookbills out of the shell while I was at work yesterday even though I TOLD him to leave them be!
Luckily, the duckling he "helped" was ready to hatch anyways, and he's happy and healthy in the brooder right now. Plus, Will made up for it by cleaning all the brooders and driving three of the oldest babies out to my mom's to live with the adult flock for me.
Next batch of eggs isn't due until the 24th, but I have PLENTY of babies to keep me busy until then! Here's a few pictures of the bigger baby brooder right now!

Beat me to it!
