Beep is doing wonderful after a day of Vitamin B Complex in his water. He can walk and hold his head up. His belly button is completely healed. Other than taking some extra naps, he is just as active and happy as his brothers!

Another update: Beep hatched. His belly button was protruded. I put neosporin on it twice before it dried up nicely. Beep is moving around and can hold his head up for about 10 seconds at a time. He drinks (water with b vitamins) really well. He can get up and move around a little at a time...

Normally I would but my son wants to have one that imprints on him and to raise and since I don't want the duckling to be alone other than my son I am gonna keep the other with him. They both seemed to be doing great so far. I can't believe I have a cannibal duck :sick

Update: So since I don't have an incubator, I had Beep (son named him) in my shirt all night. This morning I put him on a heating pad in a box in my son's room since it's very humid in there. 98°F, 55% humidity. Beep is doing good, but since he hadn't punctured the air sack I have been...

I have a duckling that is about ready to hatch and one of the mom's cracked the egg (I'm guessing under her weight.) This happened a few days ago with another one and I left the egg with the moms (since is was a small hole and the white film hadn't torn) but the egg was gone the next day...

Hey guys, I haven't been on in so long, but I wanted to share that my youngest girl Sharon after two failed attempts, has finally hatched out 2 beautiful ducklings all on her own.

I started out with just a male and female Cayuga from mypetchicken.com. they were very sweet and he never overmated her.

These are Cayuga Eggs so they are dark and it's hard for the camera to pick up the veins I don't see veins in #4 or #1 She has been laying on the nest for 20 days #2 is moving around a lot in there

Really good, driving me nuts since the schools closed, lol. How's your family?

My internet has been really crappy, so I might not see your responses right away.

Doing good. I have 5 chickens and 7 ducks now. My ducks have turned my yard into a mud pit, lol How are your animals doing?

I missed you too, but I definitely needed a break away from some of the crazies on here, lol

How are you?

:frow

It's perfect! 1 tblsp is 16 mg and ducks only need 11 mg a day. It also depends on what amount of niacin is in your feed.
