[Foxy]

thats a good hatch rate -what did you use!

[james419]

Octagon 20 - 2nd time used and very pleased - as we all do - much research and it kept coming out as the most idiot proof while notthe cheapest - it definitley does what it says on the tin - it incubates eggs.
We had eggs from a friend out here who knows her stuff when it comes to Sasso's and the Maran came from a breeder - have some runner duck eggs coming in May so that will also be a challenge.

Also support and advice from other poultry keepers has been invaluable

lovely little babies... what will the sasso's look like when growed up.

just wondering if i need one  :roll:

[Foxy]

I heard good things about the Octagon 20 - might consider buying one next year. Love marans have a copper blue chick hatched 2 weeks ago and runners are fab -have 4 under a broody - thats a first have no idea about ducks so hopefully will know enough in 4 weeks! I know I can rely on the henhouse for ducky questions though

[mumsy]

Are they the black naked neck sasso, if so, don't let Babe know as she WILL want one!!  
Tis a broiler though!

no but do have 40 cou nou Noir only a week old - silly looking birds but they taste good and for french birds get to a reasonable size.
