the ankle sock is a great idea too. :)

congrats on the new duckies. They are adorable. Love your feed and water set up. The tarp idea is great. Glad your little one made it. I have been known to stick a cold chick down the shirt between the girls. Your bag idea seems a lot better. ;)

Sally I was googling pics of silkie ducks and came across this site. Reading it made me realize I don't want silkie ducks. http://lemontheduck.com/id35.html

I can't wait to see your duckies feathered. A silkie duck might tempt me back into ducks.

Your little ducklings are cute. Can't wait to see them feathered. Going to research some on them. I need heat tolerant birds.

So far the birds are fine. All of my final reports came back and nothing really to report. I am going to clean that coop out and give those birds away. Then going to redo a couple things to try to keep the birds out. I am thinking about some layers. Also thought about some of your WFS. What size...

Hi Sally! Have you hatched your silkie ducks yet?

sorry Sally It sucks no matter how many you have done before.

Aw Sally. You have been doctoring birds too. I think you are doing all you can for the little quacker. Hope he pulls thru for you.

Sally Have you seen these? http://www.eggcartons.com/Plastic-Incubator-Liner-for-Little-Giant-Incubator-p/lgl.htm

She has nice birds! Glad they looked good.

I have fresh ones do that in the brooder. They get tired and sleep where they are at if it is warm. I have had them fall asleep with their head in the food. Yup not going to do that experiment for you. :) I thought rumpless was genetic.

Most likely they were just checking the newbie out. They use their beaks to explore like little kids use hands to touch everything. Just check on it after a while and make sure they are not drawing blood. It will do better with its hatch buddies. Usually within a day I can never tell who was who.

If his umbilical is dried and he is moving around fine I would put him in with the others. They do better with the other chicks.

That was my breeding season last year. I was over run in cockerels. Your info was better than any I would have come away with after reading genetics websites.

I'm sorry. I am going to go check on mine now. I have worried about this.

Thanks Oz!

I'm not shipping. I am buying. I am starting to think the drive to Texas might be worth it to ensure that my eggs get to me in a hatchable state. She was only wanting to sell chicks and her discounted rate for me was $25 per chick. Not exactly an affordable start to a flock but compared to what...

I probably missed this but is it a silkie? It looks very soft and fluffy. Congrats!

the foam things are freakin expensive I am going to be spending a small fortune for the eggs so might be worth the extra protection. All mine have come double boxed with bubble wrap etc. Are the foam inserts that much better? Where is Oz to chime in...
