Ducklings!

[Miss Lydia]

The one I showed is when they are tiny, once they are bigger the holes get larger and the bottom gets deeper.

So, what are some of the names you're considering? Are they St. Patrick's-based or generally Irish-based? I'm good either way.

With a fair amount of Irish ancestry, I have to point out a pet peeve that resurfaces every March 17. The Irish nickname for Patrick (which can be spelled "Padraigh" over there, with or without the H) is Paddy, not Patty. Patty is a female nickname; I know an Irish-born woman whose name is Patty and who agrees with me.

On the other hand, I sincerely doubt your ducklings will care at all! Best wishes with your babies!

I am 10 % Irish. I was think of Lucky and Clover as 2 of the names but im not sure yet!

My ducklings are already here! They just don't know it yet...View attachment 3431791
Expecting 8 to hatch next week, 3 to hatch the beginning of April, and the two bigger eggs are goose eggs!

I currently have a dozen eggs in an incubator exactly like yours. It was borrowed from @Magnolia Ducks

My blue runner duck lays green eggs. The green eggs in the incubator have a faun and white runner father. I can't wait to see what the babies look like!!!

I have 2 fawn and white females. I would love to see pictures when they hatch!!

I went to the feed store today, to get the feed. And a family member had ordered chickens and was told they wouldnt be in until March 31st now they were suppose to come the 17th like the ducks. Just to make sure the ducks were ordered today to be here by Friday i asked, now they wont be in until after April 1st because they were to busy to order them. I already had the brooder set up, so i just put the food back on the shelf. Now i have to wait 17+ days to get them

They should start hatching three weeks from Sunday but I don,t know for sure because this is my first time with this incubator. Also, they are half , 3/4, and full Runner so it may take a day longer.

Maybe you could get them faster if you order from a hatchery . You might get them as fast as next week

I looked at every hatchery i could think of i either have to pay a $50 small order fee. Or the welsh harlequins are currently unavailable. The feed store im ordering from uses cackle hatchery and on cackles site it says all the ducks are temporarily unavailable.
