I'm glad people are enjoying the ducks. I have had one hen that started laying in the fall and laid all winter. She is the only blue egg layer I have right now. Next year I will hatch some of her eggs as she is a very good layer. all of the girls are laying for the year again. I have also gone...

I was out in my yard moving plants around. I started a strawberry patch and put a few remaining runners around my baby apple tree. I am hoping they start growing all over the duck yard. I also put a thornless trailing blackberry up there and moved two perenial kale plants with chicken wire...

I gave two of the drakes away and just today butchered the other two. They where starting to become wretched creatures. In the words of the queen of hearts off with their heads. The little hens just started laying eggs and I have two small green eggs now. I planted my fall garden a week or two...

my ducklings have their adult voices. I have two hens and four drakes. My old drake is still separated because of his behaviour. I sold three old hens and they look very happy in their new home. The new owner has a pond for them to play in. They wanted a few more hens to balance their sex ratio...

The ducklings are starting to make the occasional clucking sound. I sold a drake so I just have one now. It seems the drake was destined for soup. This ducklings are his. The ducklings where booted outside yesterday. My house is now free of the little stench beasts. I gave them a heat lamp so...

I let the ducks into the garden to trample around for a bit and destroy stuff. I also let the ducklings take a swim since it has been super warm out. I fiddled with the worm bin and let the ducks murder some worms and they really appreciated the gesture

I opened the remaining three eggs today. I had one that pipper internaly only, one that never pipped and, another egg that became contaminated. The chicks I have all look to be blue and black and they are the cutest little guys. They where from a lavender hen with a black drake. All the drakes...

I tossed four more eggs a week later. I think they where cloudy. I don't quite remember. of the nine eggs six have now hatched. the last three are in the incubator but I'm not sure if they will open up. I'll know in a few days. this is day 27 so they are early. I'm happy with 6 of 9 hatching...

I have veins in my newest batch of eggs. This is day 3. The pictures are a little blurry due to the monumental cheapness of my phone. I tossed 2 eggs for being wrong. On seemed to have a broken air sac and another had what appeared to be a bubble. That leaves me 13 in another few days ill check...

I had my incubator filled full of eggs but dumped them at 7 days as I did not see veins when candling. I think I kept the boys and girls seperated to long. Ducks do not retain sperm as long as I thought they did. I am now collecting eggs for another attempt. I put the females abd males together...

Thanks for reading twocrows today I looked out the window and saw three hens sleeping together. I was down one. I went on the hunt. Ducks are never more than a few feet from each other willingly. I poked around then went and counted the ducks again. As I was contemplating my next move the...

I have 6 ducks right now. Two drakes and 4 hens. I am going to hatch eggs and cull one of the drakes shortly as he has been two rough with the hens. I am also going to rehome two of my older hens and replace them with ducklings. i hatched ducklings one time before and ended up with a single hen...
