This year we have ducks and this will be the place to see news about them. They are Cayuga Ducks and they take 28 days to hatch. Today is day 5. There will be postings here to keep visitors up to date about their growth. Right now they are rather boring and will be for the next three weeks, but then things should get interesting.
Today’s Picture. Candling at Day 5. There are 24 eggs. 20 look like this, two have nothing in them and 2 are two dark. They will be light candled again at 10 days. Yes LIGHT candled. There is also Water Candling that takes place after day 20 and before 25. Light Candling has light but no candles. Water Candling has neither light nor candle. Language is weird.
Red dot is the bird, red lines blood vessels wrapping the yoke.
