Little duckling didn't make it through the second night :(

 The little duckling was dead in the brooder this morning :(. It wasn't any surprise, as it was very weak when it hatched and wasn't up on it's feet for around 14 hours after hatching. I also gave up on the remaining eggs in the incubator as there was no sign of life there. We still have the eggs under the broody Pekin, so hopefully, she'll do a better job than me and actually hatch one or two!

Not done any work with the chickens today, other than clean out the ducklings brooder as we've been busy clearing the rubbish from the shed and down the end of the garden. We've almost filled the skip in one day and it has been a lot of hard work, but apart from the odd few bits in the garden, it's all done now. It has left us both totally knackered though, so will just be an evening of relaxing in front of the TV. Incubator 2 also goes into lock down tonight with the hatch due on Tuesday, hopefully, we'll get a good hatch from the 48 eggs left in there.

If my body is working tomorrow after all the heavy lifting today, I plan on taking down the runs that the Silkies and Sablepoots were in. Will also clean out the 1-2 week olds brooder and have a sort out in my brooder shed so I can put any junk in the skip.

Quiet on the eggs today, so far we've had
1 Call Duck
1 Friesian Fowl
1 Buff Pekin

But last time I went down the garden, one of the Lavender Pekins and the Turkey were both in their houses laying, so will go and check them in a minute.
