We are in mid hatch of baby ducks!! Started pipping on Thursday and they started hatching Saturday. So far we have 8...10 more to go!!
A few pics of the early birds that are already in a brooder...pics are kind of fuzzy...
We had quite the surprise this morning when we looked into the incubator and saw one yellow fuzzy duckling...all yellow! I called the people we got them from and they think it is probably a pekin!! I don't care I love all ducks but when it grows up we may have to find it a mate!
So far they all are doing great! there is nothing to compare watching a duckling/chick hatch! It is so amazing!
On friday the kids and I trekked over to Lebanon area and picked up 2 turkeys! They are about 4 months old and a pair. They are Blue Slates---and we only paid $25!! The lady just didn't want turkeys anymore she was going more towards peahens. At Cackle a Blue Slate 1 day old poult is $7.90 so I think I did a great deal!
Still hatching so I will check back in later with better pics!
