Oh I know!! But my little boy is even more excited! He wants a baby duck so bad!! And these should be hatching on Christmas, isn't that so cool??

Congratulations on your buttons!

And to think I was supposed to feed those eggs back to our flock.

(really glad my wife didn't try hatching them)

Woke up this morning to 4 more babies!! Plus there is another one zipping right now!! I am really glad you didn't feed these back to your birds as well Mr. AK!!!

The majority of them are silvers, with one cinnamon, one wild (possibly), and one red breast (possibly).

Did Tori tell you what I said, Mr. AK??

ETA: That brings the count up to 10 out with one zipper!!

Congrats !!! Great hatch after the last one failed so badly.

I can't wait to see em, I'll have to come over after Thanksgiving to see the tiny babies.

Don't know when Mom and Budd are leaving, I get a different date each time she mentions it

. We are going to look at a house over in Breeding this morning - I'll believe they'll move down here when I see it, too. They talk about it, but it never seems to happen.

This place has a house, barn, garage and 4 acres. Just about the right size for them. Plus, Breeding is far enough away yet close enough. Having them out my back door is a bit of a strain. Love them, but the dog issue is really getting on my nerves.

Why oh WHY???!!!??? can't people train their dogs not be obnoxious??? Her dogs rule their house - and anywhere else they take them.

Sorry I went off topic.

Talk to ya later -

Ok, I was wrong about the zipper, just one egg that had hatched and closed back up, but I still have 10, with at least one more pip!!

New baby pics!!

Didn't notice this one was a bit off, but you can still see some babies!

Yeah mine just turned 4, and he is just loving it! I think he loves baby animals period, I don't think he really cares what kind they are! I still have 38 eggs left, so we'll see how it goes! Counting the one I already had, I have 11 buttons already!

And these aren't even done hatching! Plus I have 10 more eggs from the Nov. egg swap due in about 10 days!

 

[shelleyd2008]

New count...there are 5 silvers, 3 cinnamon, one that looks like a 'normal', and one that looks like a 'darth vader'. Plus I DO have a zipper!!

 

[baldie]

YAY!!! I can't wait to see pics of ALL of them!!! Good luck with the rest of your hatch!!!!
