They're adorable ducklings!


Most of their adult pictures are on my other phone. So I only have a couple.

They're always following me

They are so cute and grew up SO pretty.  Sounds like we are in the same boat, except you are way more familiar with ducks than me. I am worried about shipped eggs to but we are going to give it a go.  I have read hatch rates from 20% - 90%.... so what am I suppose to do with that info and planning.  I really want a chocolate male.  

I have a first set (30) chicken eggs in the incubator now, hatch due March 31.  It seems to be going fine.  Some are clearly developing; others I don't think were even fertile (we purchased some eggs from a farmers market to test the fertility of different store bought eggs.  It is her science fair project for next year but we wanted to make sure it would work in advance). I am hoping to start the duck eggs around April 1-4th sometime.  There is an Ancona Duck Facebook page that has great breeder info too.  If you would like the info just let me know and I will pass it along.

I hope you post updates on how your search and hatching goes.  It will be nice to be incubating with someone else new to it.

I will let you know how this hatch goes. I bought some welsh harlequin eggs from a local lady to, sort of check how it goes. I threw in the dozen eggs I had from my girls, as they had just started laying with the warmer weather. Unfortunately only four of their eggs were fertile and are developing correctly. They're due to hatch May 30th. I'm so excited to be a ducky grandmother

. I really want a chocolate drake as well. I read if I breed him with my girls, the females from their clutches will be chocolate. The males will be black but carry the chocolate gene. I just want to look out and see a rainbow of ducks
