Welcome the newest edition to The Golden Buffies
It's the 1st chick we hatched; she is an Ameraucana hatched on the 23 of Sep
You all may wonder why is my dog right in her face.
Well i didn't have any where to put her, So i put her in a box with a heat lamp and i waited for the other chicks to hatch... I waited a long 3 weeks.
then the other chicks started to hatch (oh and that's how we came up with the name Big Bird) because the newley hatched chicks looked so small and she looked really big so the name stuck.

Just this morning a kakei campbell duck just hatched.
It hatched when we were sleeping. so i did not get any pictures of it hatching

If you look at the 1st picture (of the duck that just hatched today) And the 2th picture, It obvious that they are different. The top pic is a male, He has more color and this pic, She is all brown (she does have some yellow on her belly)...
Some duck breeds are white when they are full grown and yellow when they are babies, So it is harder to tell from a male and female. But with the Kakei's it way easier

Our ducks we are hatching...
======================================
They should be hatching on the 1st-4th of April.
Today which is Easter, the eggs are 26 days old.
i stopped turning them 25 days old, you should stop turning them at least 3 to 4 days before they hatch (so they would be 25 days old).
You should turn your eggs 3 times a day (i did 2 times a day 10:00 am and 9:00 pm)
We are hatching pekins and kakei campbells...
The incubator was made my dad. we got a styrofoam box (that keeps food hot) and we had a broken lamp that he took the light bulb part from (the light bulb is a 15 watt) and we have a dimmer for the bulb (so it does not get to hot), and for the lid we cut (not sure of how big the hole was) and put a piece of glass for the window (we just taped it on with some clear tape), the styrofoam block, that the bowl of water is on, it is from the hole we made for the window.
we used a digital thermometer (the perfect temperature for hatching duck eggs is 99.5 )
