HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long 2016 w/ Hosts, Mike, Sally & BantyChooks

[DwayneNLiz]

I realized that October disappeared and I never even updated about the hatch (or participated in the games). Out of 10 Ancona eggs that went into lock down, only 1 hatched. No clue what happened, the others were moving/alive, but never absorbed their yolk to hatch. So we have a singleton working on becoming a house duck. The Welsh Harlequins have moved to the outdoor coop with the big ones. The brooder still has a chicken who has some sort of leg injury, she walks with an over exaggerated step, almost like she can't feel her foot. So much going on, so little time...

Sorry about the Ancona but I'm sure it'll make a great house duck!!

Sorry the hatch didn't go very well.

Sorry to hear the hatch didn't turn out as good as hoped...hatches keep a person guessing! Can he little ducky and chickie get along and be buddies, or does that work? I'm not familiar with ducks.

Well the chicken is a full grown hen. I want to wait until the duckling is a little bigger before putting them together.

Quote: Ohhhhh...ok. I can see why you want to wait until the duckling is bigger. It's making sense to me now...lol.
