Liv, how is the hatching going?

Well… It does not officially become day 21 until 915 tonight. I have two good pips but have lost my remaining OH CCLs so I'm down to 12 eggs from 23

Now 4 pips but 1 little guy has pipped the wrong end...spotted a piece of shell on the floor of the bator and had a look. Sure enough, the little booger has gone for the pointy end.

I know, Runner Ducks are so fun! And, they won't fly away! Here is one of my 2 1/2 month olds. I had hatched 4 eggs from ordered eggs. They were all males. Here is my favorite! He has beautiful colors! I have 2 fawn and white IR males for sell if anyone is looking for some!

I updated my browser and the pics are working now. Those purple feathers are incredible. If you ever breed them to be solid purple, sign me up to be a duck owner!

But, the Whiz-bang plucker is great. You're handy enough tot build one, but with the sale price at CnM I don't think you could buy all the parts needed and beat their price right now.

They're cheap enough now that I don't think you can. A member here on another thread bought one of these and really liked it: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/yardbird-chicken-plucker?cm_vc=-10005 Said it seemed very well built.

Hope they all come out! I know how sad it is to lose them so close to hatch! I sure do understand the saying, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch!"
