I know for a fact she wants 2-3. One of her mallards went missing so she's got a single lonely female mallard floating on her lake,

May even have an extra Ancona male.

She asked how much you would want for them.

Did you use an independent one or the one incorporated in the top of the incubator?

An independent one

Not sure yet. Not looking to get rich off of them, though. Let me get an inventory of what is available and we can figure it out from there.

Anybody in here within an hour or so of Rincon, GA?

Yeah, I've never had one lay that young! Mine were usually around 30 - 35 weeks. And then there was the Silkie who didn't lay until she was 50 weeks old! Yes, that is two weeks shy of a year! And then she laid for 2 weeks, went broody, hatched eggs and then got killed by the bear!

I was just reading back through some posts from 2011 when I last bought chicks, I got the first eggs from those chicks at 18 weeks. I had TSC chicks, leghorns and some that were labeled 'commercial black'. those were the ones that started laying first. big chickens and laid big brown eggs, though at first the eggs weren't that big, which I do know is normal

anyway, I guess it varies from breed to breed, but the leghorns I had back then started laying around 20 weeks, and that's pretty much what I've read just about every where. I've got to come up with a hanging feeder to put some oyster shell in for them sometime in the next week or so. May just see what kind of small container I can find and make one

Flower, ugh. How frustrating.

I always figured my hygro I used in my Styros was way off too.. But when I got the cabinet I stuck it in there just to see. It was actually fairly dang Accurite. (Get it?)

Well, I just finished the salt calibrating test on the hygrometer I thought was the most accurate. Yep, way off. It is reading 83% and it should be reading 75%! That's 8% more than it should be. So, over the course of 21 days, I think it messed up my eggs. I am sad because my next group of eggs are in the same boat as these. The air sacks are way too small. I am trying my best to get it as dry as I can until lockdown which will be on Monday!
