Oh that's so exciting!!!

It is! Of course she waited until mid october in Idaho, right when it starts getting cold. Thankfully our local feed store loans out an incubator. I'll keep y'all updated

Dude! I'm in Idaho too. How cool is that.
How old are your Cayuga ducks?
Mine are 4 1/4 months.
I'm just trying to figure out when my girls may start laying.

Awesome another Idahoan! Our Cayuga, Captain Jack, is just over 6 months old. She mated with our crested drakes so the ducklings should be pretty adorable.

Not sure if my phone posted my original post so I'll try again.

Our Cayuga is just over 6 months old now. Which part of Idaho are you in? We are in western Idaho/Treasure Valley

This is my first time with my Cayuga but from what I read 25-28 days is normal from start of incubation

8 of my eggs have hatched, 2 more are working their way out. 2 of the ones that have hatched are a silver color. Is that normal for cayugas? Some also have spotted feet and a little yellow on their head.
