They're great thanks...unfortunately we've got a bird flu ban in place so they've got to stay in the shed for 30 days. They're a bit fed up as they're not allowed in the pond outside though xx

Thanks . I thought she'd morn them if I took them away but tbh she came out of the pond late and has been back in it most of the morning...it's nice as I don't sleep much so I've been able to watch her in the pond all morning . I'm so glad she's using it though xx

Thanks for the tip. I took an egg today and it was rotten, I checked them all and they were putrid . Anyway mum sulked for a bit but was distracted by the pond (which she hasn't been out of all day lol). I suspect they were for sale because they were infertile. I bought an incubator so I'll...

Hi I was wondering the same thing. I can see 12 eggs so my dates might be approx. I did try getting some to candle but she went mad...she's guarding them really strongly. If we don't have ducklings by the weekend I'll go back in and take them to candle.

Sorry about the lack of updates Hattie and Howard are still doing well They're now eating proper duck food with little extras mixed in Hattie is still sat on eggs so I think ducklings are imminent The ponds coming on well, I didn't expect it to take so long but we've kept adding bits and...

Thanks The plumbing is harder than I thought...went to the garden centre yesterday to try and get some ideas and they pointed out as its gravity fed if/when the power goes off all the water will flood to the bottom I'd not even thought about that so need to get some overflow pipes going as...

Thanks. I'm lucky she's laid all the other eggs in a nest in the shed. They took to the shed straight away...tbh that wasn't going to be their home but if it works for themselves it works for us . It's already got a cat flap on it so they're safe . Yes I think your right about the ducks and...

Well the ponds are in place. I've managed to get another pond off gumtree for the lower pond so hoping to get the pipework in today . Mamma duck is sat on 10 eggs and hasn't been off her best in 2 days

Yeah Ive got oyster shell out all the time, I have it for the chooks . I'm going to start mixing that in with their food as one of the chooks eggs was soft last night . I'm really enjoying it...once I've got the kids to dig all these ponds in I'll put some pics up . X

It's going really well...thanks so much for your help . She's actually made a nest and there's 4 eggs in it so far so I'm going to leave them in the best and see what she does . I made them up a mix of peas, cucumber, sprouts, carrots, mealworms and a bit of corn last night and they loved it

Thanks for this list...as a Newie to ducks I've been struggling to get them a) in their pond and b) to eat anything (been fed in corn for 18 months in them old home). Made a mix up tonight of carrots, peas, sweet corn, sprouts, mealworms and a handful of virnbsmdvtgry loved it thanks

Thanks so much, you've been really helpfully with these little ones :D. I'm completely taken with them, they love each other so much and he even sits waiting patiently while she eats or lays an egg. I'm picking up a kiddie pool from a friend tomorrow so I can sink it in the ground. I think...

Had another one today . Are ducks like chickens...Will she just go broody in her own time? Think I'll buy an incubator next payday
