Sadly, the little yellow chick that was born yesterday morning died and I found another chick this morning that died halfway out of the shell 
Thankfully, the little black chick is doing fantastic and Heckle still has three viable eggs. Maybe one of the other eggs will hatch! I really need one more chick so the little black one has a friend. If I have to, I'll go out and purchase one.

We also have a Saxony duck sitting on eggs. Went through her eggs this morning and she only had three incubating, so took away all the others. It would be nice if a couple of Saxony would hatch as I have people wanting to purchase some.
It's really not the right time of year for hatching, so not going to allow anyone else to go broody. We'll try again next year. At least we ended up with some hatchlings this summer.
The six little Muscovy hatchlings are 7-9 days old now and doing fantastic.
Wishing you all a wonderful Tuesday! Hugs and love!
