Get prettier, younger, thinner hens.

I was thinking maybe little french maids outfits would help

@GAMarans
 so my duck eggs are on Day 24 right now and i've got an external pip in one and two external pips in the other...Is it normal for them to be early? I was expecting 28-30 days.

I've never had ducks hatch that early but GAM has dealt with ducks more than I. was your temp high?

Four.

FOUR.

(4).

That's how many of my bantam Cochin eggs are fertile from my latest (one dozen) shipment. I messaged the seller but of course don't expect any sort of response, at least not a remorseful one. I just don't understand- I have stopped selling eggs completely due to a change in my flock dynamics because I'm horrified of charging people for eggs I don't know have a fantastic chance of best fertility.

But perhaps I shouldn't be so negative until I hear back from the seller.

Oh! And also I had my first "bad egg" in the bator this morning. Went to get my two new chicks out and smelled a faint off smell. So I candled the four dozen MFD eggs and found the stinker. SO glad I have a sensitive smeller!!

I sell laying hens for $20-25.

You have any you want to get rid of now? Where are you located?

That is really early. Is there anything that could have been off? Temp a bit high, storage before incubation, etc.? Ducks tend to take longer to finish the zip and hatch. I would be hesitant to get too involved now as, if really day 24, there is going to be a lot that could go very wrong. The trick now if to be sure it doesn't dry out or get glued in.

She is SO asleep right now. However, I would love to wake her up for you so she will stop snoring.

You just hush.

Glad you got it out before it could explode.

I have done my good deed for the day, so I get a cookie

These showed up in my yard and they will soon be going to a new home!!! A Beekeeper's group is sending some one out this evening to get them, if they are still here.
