no cheeps yet, and I had to throw one of the eggs out last night..uggh! I was washing dishes and thought I smelled my garbage disposal..twas not my garbage disposal! so I very, very carefully wrapped it up in paper towel then into a garbage bag and asked hubby to discard it..uggh!
There are 3 left now and so far no stink..but no peeping yet either.
I am really beginning to have my doubts that anything will come of this other than yucky smells..uggh!
I did try though and we have a few more days to find out if anything will do ..other than smell.ha.
I have told hubby that if my eggs don't hatch I'd like to find 2 baby ducklings and have a pair of Peking ducks. ..I'd actually love to have an Indian Runner still...but I figure they are a bit smaller than the Pekings and I'd hate for an owl or hawk to scoop it up around here as we do have a pair of hawks that soar over the house from time to time and we have had owls in the pine trees out front of the house..so I think a bigger duck would stand a better chance since I am wanting them to free range during the day and just do what ducks do.
But no peeps yet.:0(

This sounds like a fun project. Good Luck and we will all be waiting to hear in the next few days what is happening.

Hey Mama Goose,
We have a timber management company and two of our foresters in Cross City, FL have farms. If you need to find a home for your lil hatchlings, let me know. |

Tina, hope they do well for you. When they do start hatching out sometimes they may look like their having trouble. It's tempting to try to help them but don't, they'll be able to do it themselves. I had about 30 in my incubator and me and the kids videotaped them pecking their way out. It was a blast! Be sure to have a warmer ready to keep them under after their hatched out and let them dry well before moving them out to the warmer. I can't wait to see some pictures!
~~Blessings, Mikki Jo
