We have begun the process of incubating some duck eggs. It is a huge surprise activity for us. First, we do not know for certain that the eggs are fertile but have a certain degree of certainty that they are. Second, we do not know which type of ducks we will be getting if we succeed. Finally, they should hatch on Easter! Grace and Matt did not look at the calendar to see when they would hatch when they finally put them into the incubator.
Grace is keeping track of the temperature and turning them as we do not have a fancy turn yourself incubator. She is too young for judging a 4H project yet but this is nice practice for her so that when she does her skills of record keeping will be better.
Today I got nine more eggs so we marked them and added them to the mix. This should prove interesting as we have not done this before.
Funny you should mention duck eggs, we are planning to order some baby ducks in the next few weeks. Also will be hatching more chickens in about 3-4 weeks.
