YAY!!!! WELCOME!! what an awesome candle image! little quacker is growing fantastic!!
 
Not sure what I will set, Kiddo wants some show girl silkies or some sort of naked necks so I may buy some eggs instead of hatching our own breeds.

:) i have no idea what i will set either lol! These duckys are a mix from an Uncle and i dont want to encourage him any furthure because he already keeps too many drakes with his flock :(

I am finally getting my own chicken eggs, but they arent any project just alot of different mix breeds :confused: idk!

I am sure we will figure something out by then!

If you run into any of the ones kiddo wants let me know please!

Do you have any specific breed interests?
 
Sweet! we should be ready for hatching eggs by Oct 10th. Our incubator arrives this weekend, so we can play with the settings on it. Don't know where we'll be getting eggs from, because where I wanted to order they are going thru their molt... So... May wind up being Ebay specials. Wanted to get some Ameraucaunas and Wellsummers. We'll see, emailing another breeder that ships eggs to see how their Wellies are doing LOL!
 
Sally, I love that you added so many awesome links, above! A few of them I haven't read before, so off to do my homework. I have to contact the byc member that I want to buy eggs from and arrange to have them by the 10th! This should be fun!
