I got one from TS and the temp ran 99.5 to 100 and humidity was correct as well but when i put the egg turner on the temp went up to 120 and humidity stayed at around 86. I could never get the temp and humidity to regulate no matter what i tried. I even shut off the egg turner but that didn't...

aren't you afraid to keep them lose like that? You know with animals getting them and such.

here is a picture of my babies

Okay everyone got another question, my female pekin has started sitting on her eggs, granted there is like 20+ eggs in there I think. Anyway she spends most of the day off them but before she leaves the nest she has the eggs in little pockets and then covers them up with straw and such from her...

I tried the incubation thing and it didn't work out for me. Would love to know more about how you get your chicks to hatch in a incubator.

those look yummy

Well, just an update, my pekin duck has been sitting on her eggs at night. She still pretty much leaves them alone during the day but I noticed she covers them up before she leaves the nest. I guess this is a start. I don't want to disturb her nest by removing any of the eggs, so I have no idea...

I will agree, baking is a hobby for me now but when I had my bakery business it got to the point I didn't want to do it any more. But i'm back to enjoying the fun of baking and decorating. With the fall weather coming it is so much more enjoyable due to the weather being just right.

Hi everyone, just looking around on BYC and found this forum. I use to own my own bakery, but being is such a small town and competing with wal-mart just didn't pan out. So now that I am no longer able to work due to back issues I have plenty of time to bake. Yesterday was one of those day where...

thanks for the info.

they're so cute. Congratulations on the new babies

I wish you the best of luck with the incubation thing. I tried it and failed. Could never keep the temp and humidity levels correct. The turning wasn't any problem. Guess I just wasn't cut out to do the incubation thing. When tractor supply has chick days again i'll get some more ducklings and...

Just hoping to get some rain, but it's not looking too good.

Just want to say a prayer to all of ya'll that live near the coast line. I hope everyone takes care of your family and don't forget about the animals. Hope everyone stays safe. Good luck and God be with all of you and yours.

ya but if I let them sit for so long won't they rot? She lays like 1 egg a day.

I guess i'll just wait a little bit longer and see if she sits on them. I know she doesn't do it during the day. I mainly wanted the ducks for the eggs and it turned out to be a male and female. So now all my eggs are furtal. Do I just gather the eggs everyday or what? Sure don't want to crack...

I only have one female and one drake. She layes her eggs all in one spot and has made a nice nest for them but I never see her sitting on them. I guess she lays her eggs at night. I just wish she would start sitting on them. She has 8 in there now, was 9 but one got smashed I guess, don't know...

How do you tell if they molt or not? Mine is about 5 months old and they are still quite fluffy. And is there a age limit on when their eggs will bear ducklings? I know all the eggs she has laid seem are fertal, atleast something is growing in them but they get to a point where they just die and...

How do you get your pekin ducks to go broody
