On Monday 23rd February we started to incubate our eggs. We started with 18 Guinea Fowl Eggs and five Pekin Duck eggs.

We researched about the conditions that we would need in the incubator. We found that the temperature needed to be 37.4 degrees centrigrade and the humidity 65%. Wev were amazed that a chook can be so scientific when it is sitting on eggs. We found that they would take 28 days to hatch.

We researched the parts of an egg. On the 11th of March when we came back from Camp there was a horrible smell in our room. One of the Duck eggs was very rotton. We took it outside and broke it open, it was green inside.

On Tuesday 23rd March our eggs started hatching. This was so exciting.

30th of march 2010. Tuesday. This is the 2nd day I have had my duck. Mr hales thinks that my duck is a mix. My duck is called buda. buda is a poser like liam. On march the 21st scrater died. Scrater was a guinea fowl that danced by scratcingthe ground. Hazle and James had opened there duck out of the shell. James and Hazles duck became a duck like Buda. We have got to rase 12 guinea fowls and 3 ducks.Hazle and jamess duck weighed 4 grames, Buda had weighed 4 grammes aswell, zaydes duck called waddle had weighed 2 grames, safire rose weighs 3 grammes, happy feet weighs 3 grammes, peka weighs 3 grames, spike ways 3 grammes, stripe weighs 2 grammes, fluffy weighs 2 grammes. Today we have failed to keep 3 ducks but now we have 2 because waddle died over night. We have just replaced the towl with news paper because the chicks might of choked on fluff.
