    Ducks chirping but too early…a few questions

    I hope to get some cute pics of them but for now just brooder pics😄 Final count of 15. If the sexing by the beak method holds true with welsh harlequins then I have 7 boys and 7 girls. I have them separated for now so their new owners can differentiate. The dark duckling is an unknown. I set...

    Ducks chirping but too early…a few questions

    It was fun watching them break free. My son was amazed. He stood over the incubator and watched a few hatch. We’ll be doing this again. I just hope next time we have a better hatch rate.

    Ducks chirping but too early…a few questions

    Thanks. I’ll send some better ones later today. So far nine babies. One all black, feet, bill, and plumage. I’m guessing a mix breed but I also read that welsh harlequins can carry the dusky gene so idk. I removed ten dead in the egg. Air cells were small and three were average size and the...

    Ducks chirping but too early…a few questions

    Great advice! I hope to hatch many, many ducks. My first hatch scared me but I’m past that. I have more eggs than I know what to do with so I may as well hatch them. This hatch is a 4H project for my 5 y/o son but I enjoy it more than he does. I left work (early lunch lol) to run home and add...

    Ducks chirping but too early…a few questions

    Thank you so much. I just added some water back to the tray and within a few minutes it jumped from 20 to 55. Temp is coming back up from me opening the lid. It’s at about 98.7 and climbing. I’ve kept it around 99.7 to 100.1. There were days that it crept to 100.5 and I’d adjust and then it...

    Ducks chirping but too early…a few questions

    My welsh harlequin and welsh harlequin khaki crosses are due to hatch Sunday 2/25. I checked them on 2/17 and 27 out of 28 were moving but the air cells were not quite as big as they should be so I dropped humidity down by removing water. I thought for sure I’d have plenty of time to lose some...
