Duck Hatch Along Part 3

Okay so today the duck is changing! Not a lot yet! But it is!

 This is what the embryo and veins look like now..the egg is getting darker and the veins are getting longer!

 Here you can tell that there is something growing in the egg you can see the top part is dark, thats the part with the baby, and the bottom part passes light through

And this is another way you can tell your egg is fertile... if you cannot see through the egg its fertile...if you can see through it and it has been in the bator for a week its not fertile

I hope that there is someone out there reading and watching this! I hope who ever it is is enjoying this...I love to watch this happen.. I have never kept this much of a tab on it but I think I will also learn some other things as everyone else will learn something new!!

Please comment if you like or not...

Thanks

Duck Egg Hatch Along (part 2)

Our duck hatch along is doing very well! I am very happy that it is going so well I really did not think it would.. the only reason I even doubted myself was my incubator has been acting very crazy and I have hatch ONE!! ONE!! chicken all year... I have had it going for 2 months!!! I hope these really work out!

     These pictures were taken the day before yesterday... I have not been able to get on since all the storms and all!

  These pictures are of 3 day old duck egg that we have been following....

 This is the embryo growing in the egg... you can see the veins and the embryo in the middle!

This is a better picture... the embryo looks like a spider. Ya think?




I love to watch my eggs evolve into chickens,ducks and all the other wonderful things eggs turn into.!

I am doing this to show people who would love to know how this happens and does not have a way  too see it.


I hope everyone enjoys this...please comment and let me know what you think and let me know if you want too see something else like this on the blog.


Thanks for viewing!!! Please Comment

Listia...

Hi to everyone!

I do not know if anyone has heard of listia yet?!

I have an account and have been very satisfied with it and they have all kinds of products and its all free as long as you get the free shipping products...I am not trying to get anyone to join on my behalf I am just telling you about it.. it is worth taking a look at...if nothing else you have spent 5 minutes of your time checking out some one elses stuff they have to get rid of...

Whiskey!

Meet Whiskey! Our newest addition to the family! We have had her for about a month we rescued her for some people that had her chained with a chain around her neck.... NEVER ever do that with a pit or any other dog for that matter. She is a  sweetheart! I wish we could keep her in the house but she is so clumsy and not house broke we do not think...

She is my baby! Well all my animals are my babies!!!

Frog legs anyone?

Yes I am addicted to frog legs... I know it sounds nasty right?! But NO they are awesome... especially if they are cooked right...

These are some huge bull frogs ... around here you do not see them get this big...if you do you cannot get them ... I was very lucky with these...but they are good...

And just too clear it up yes bull frogs do biteish ... they do not have teeth but it still hurts ....

Very scary

The other day I was doing my normal rounds around the yard looking for duck eggs...in the yard, around the pond, everywhere! They lay anywhere and they hide them... So while I was headed out to the pond I noticed an egg on the little island we have that kind of goes out a little ways into the pond so I started over to the egg... well this is what I got instead of an egg...

 I am not sure what type it is do not really care... its dead and cannot get my ducks...

I had to wait on the hubby to get up before I could shoot it but luckily it was still in the same spot it was when I first walked out there! I also killed 3 more..but I just did not drag them out of the pond... This lil guy floated to the side.. and I had went back in the house to clean and then I got hot and came back outside and then I walked around the pond again I shot this snake again...2 or 3 more times..lol

But other than him i got 3 more... so I am happy... 

Duck Hatch Along!

Well now I think my duck eggs are becoming fertile I will guide everyone who cares through the incubation process...

This is a duck egg just put in today... I think it is fertile BUT you have to wait 7 days,a week, to see....

I do not know what kind of duck egg it is my ducks are all mixed together...

This is a duck egg at 2 weeks after being in the incubator... looks good so far..

This is what I use to incubate my eggs.. a little giant incubator....

This is not the one I usually use I have a newer cleaner one I use but the electricity went out last night and I keep the eggs and a buddy of mines house so I had to grab this and run back to my house and hook it up and transport the eggs...NOT A GOOD IDEA!!! But I could not just let them sit and freeze so if they hatch YAY!!! if not I will probably cry!!! but things do happen so you have to do what you have to do....


I will keep everyone posted on that one duck egg...if it turns out not fertile we will go to a different egg... I want to do this so children that do not have the privilege to do this or watch it be done can learn something ...

Enjoy

If you have any questions please ask.. I will answer every one of them

Easter!

I guess you just have to love Easter! Especially if you love Chickens,Ducks, and Rabbits! All the stores have animals...well just about all feed stores! I love it.. even tho I have not made it down to get any animals I will have too I need some more ducks :) and rabbits:) I can get grown chickens so I would rather go that route! A whole lot easier to keep alive! So I am excited!


Happy Early Easter too all!!
