Hey girl...........I need a silverlaced hamburg hen

haha....... poor guy is now stuck with all the leftover hens........

 

[GracefulBantams]

Sure thing, Okiechick. I'll save you one

Thanks, Repobob

 

[GracefulBantams]

Okay all is going well... ummm... except for the fact that I need a bigger 'bator

I added four more Bantam eggs Wednesday which made my total:
7 Hamburg
4 Cochin
5 d'Uccle
3 Duck
1 LF Maran
1 BTW Jap x d'Uccle

Today I ordered a dozen eggs from DipsyDoodleDoo, and on Tuesday FdNick is sending a dozen...my turner has 42 spaces, and I'm going to have 45 eggs plus any extras they might send and any more eggs my Ducks lay... so, yeah, I'm going to have some major candling to do in hopes of actually having a couple bad ones

I thought ducks needed a higher humidity than the chicken eggs.

You can set duck and chicken eggs in the same incubation conditions as the chicken eggs?

 

[Cuban Longtails]

Ooo... if your Jap X d'Uccle hatches, I bet it looks very pretty! I've got some interesting colors in my Jap X OEGB.

Was it porceline or millie fleur?

 

[GracefulBantams]

It was a Porcelain daddy.

MissPrissy, yeah, Ducks are supposed to have higher humidity, but I have a friend that hatches them with chicken eggs and it usually works. It was just that my ducks are laying so sporadically that there was no way I'd get enough to incubate of just theirs.

I added another Duck egg yesterday, so I now have:
7 Hamburg
4 Cochin
5 d'Uccle
4 Duck
1 LF Maran
1 BTW Jap x d'Uccle


Dipsy's eggs are in the mail, so I'm hoping to get them by Tuesday......
Um, there's something I'm not telling you all... I guess I better confess... I ordered 2 dzn. more hatching eggs

I never was good at math (j/k), but I'm thinking I'll be getting another incubator shortly

Um... at least I should have a lot of these -

- this year

 

[Dipsy Doodle Doo]

Hi Grace!
They should be delivered Tues xfingers crossedx

You have silver spangled Hamburgs? Cool! I need to pay more attention, but didn't see that.
Let me know when you have a couple of eggs to spare, I'll buy them.

You absolutely will be needing another incubator
