Oh too cute!!!!!!!!!!! No decision. I want them all!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes, I love pictures! I am having a hard time finding some this late in the year, but will keep trying to find some or some eggs to hatch. Thanks for the info! Kelly

Is anyone bringing ducksor ducklings? If so, what breeds and ages? I don't want to drive that far if there aren't any. Thanks!

I have a pair of Rouens and have recently fallen in love with Magpies. My question is......are Magpies too small to live with Rouens. I wouldn't want my Rouen drake to hurt the Magpies because he is very "FRIENDLY" with his lady friends. Any help would be appreciated!

I would like to buy some fertile Magpie duck eggs for hatching. Please contact me if you have some! Thanks!

I would like to buy a female Magpie or fawn runner or two. Ducklings or young ducks would be fine.

Thanks! I'm going to try it!

How did you force her to sit? I have a Rouen that has been laying her eggs for 2 weeks in a nest (normally she'd lay them anywhere), but she won't sit.

Thankyou for the encouraging news! It's nice to hear of one in the same boat that made it. I moved him into the brooder today because he wasn't getting dry in the incubator because of the high humidity. In the brooder he is drying. He is eating, drinking, peeping, pooping and almost...

I had a duck hatch on day 25 and had not completely absorbed the yolk sack and it was still attached for a while. My question is that since it didn't get all the yolk should it be fed earlier or because it is early it isn't ready for food and water??? It just hatched last night so it is still...

Thanks so much! I always seem to need help in the middle of the night and am amazed that I always get replies. You all are amazing! So I kept the situation under a warm wet washcloth and the little duckling wiggled itself free from the yolk sack and the "cord" detatched on its own. It is...

My first duckling hatched last night on day 25 instead of 28. It still has a large yolk sack and cord attached. what should I do? It is still in the incubator. Should I keep the thing moist or let it dry out? Cut it? Leave it alone? The duck is peeping and moving, but not standing yet...

Does anyone know what you end up with when you mix a Rouen drake with a Pekin duck? Do they look like one or the other or a mix? Does anyone have pictures? I have pure Rouen eggs and mixed eggs in the bator and wonder if i'll know the difference since the same drake fertilized all of them...

Thanks! All this reading is helping to pass the time. It is very helpful as this is my first hatch too. I am so hooked. Now and then i see something pushing throught the pip and back in again. I don't think I was this nervous when I was in labor! Kelly

Thanks for all your help. I kept the membrane moist but the little guy died anyway. He was perfectly formed, but hadn't absorbed the yolk yet. I had another egg pip this morning. It is only day 25, but I hope this one makes it. It will be a long day of watching and waiting! Thanks again, Kelly

I built Miss Prissy's bator and had 10 duck eggs in it for my first hatching experience. I hadn't seen movement for some time. Some of the eggs started to turn black and smelled terrible. I decided throw them out and start over because I read that they can explode. I opened one end to see if...

I just connected pc fan and plugged it in. The fan didn't work, so I switched the wires and plugged it in and it worked. No house fire or any other problems. I have a temp question. I made the styrofoam bator using Miss Prissy's instructions. I had the temp regulated to 99.4-99.7. The...

Thank you Chicky Tocks and AK Michelle for all your help. It's all done and I'm ready to plug it in and start watching the temps. Thanks again! Kelly

I've got all of my stuff and am ready to put this bator together. I bought the same hot water heater thermostat from Home Depot that has been pictured in many of the posts on this thread. My only problem is that the guy that sold it to me told my daughter and I how it could get us both...
