Almost Self-Reliant
I was down there moving everyone, since today is day 25. As I was moving some chicken eggs due to hatch a day after the pekins (wanted them in the back), I kept hearing peeping. I didn't think too much of it, figured I was possibly hearing the guys in the new "coop" room. Well, here, I have 8 pips out of 10 eggs. My temperature has been awesome for me, always at the same exact temp (100F). Last hatch started a day early, which is to be expected from 100F, but, these guys are three days early. I hurried up, got everyone situated, sprinkled some water down on the eggs and closed it up. I hope to goodness that I don't lose this hatch! I really, really want 10 strong, healthy pekin ducks running around!
