Quiet weekend

Eggs were candled on Saturday and I removed two more "quitters" as they did not progress.  They both had an embryo inside.  I did not see movement and each had developed very slowly and stopped progressing.  We now have 10 eggs.

Just candled on Monday night and saw two more (#12 and 18) have too much yolk and not enough duck.  Will crack at school on Tuesday.

Several Monarchs should emerge this week.  So far, we have released a male (chrysalis #1) and a female (chrysalis #3) Monarch butterfly.  Another female (chrysalis #2 - deformed shape of chrysalis and of butterfly body) probably had OE and was put down.  We have 6 more chrysalis left!

I need to get the "nursery"  (brooder) ready for the ducklings tomorrow!
