I just started my first batch of eggs! 14 d'Watermaal eggs.

I've never heard of these.

Have you bought an incubator yet?

I've never heard of these.

They're closely related to d'Anvers, they aren't super common in the US and are only ABA not APA (so far). I'm not sure whose picture this is, it's from the US club website.

This little bunch went to the outside brooder (no more house chickens). 4250 went to lockdown today (day 19) and I heard chirping as I was moving the eggs. Update on the stuck egg… I tried using warm water to loosen the egg, but it stayed stuck. When I took all the eggs out for lockdown, the stuck egg broke and ran all down into the water channels. It was not rotten. I cleaned it out and proceeded as normal.

When's the next batch going in?
Already collecting eggs, right?

uhh
I don't plan on another batch. I should have some show quality runner ducklings arriving in April.
