Gestation Period

We will need pictures and/or video of the new babies. If you can get a "moment of hatching" video we'd all love that, too. Well, I would, anyway.

They are a beautiful group!

So all 3 babies hatched successfully on day 31! Here are a couple of videos...sorry about the lighting issue in the first one.

Great that you were able to catch that on video and maybe edited(?) down to the best moments. Lights were OK on 1st, sound effects on 2nd were great!

How precious! Congrats!!

These 3 little bundles of joy have so much personality! I wish I were experienced enough to determine their gender (is that even possible when they're this young?). Anyway, here are a few pics.

Oh my gosh they are adorable. As for sexing, vent sexing is the only way at their age and if you don’t know what your doing they can be injured.

Here's a longer (10 min) video from Metzer regarding sexing ducks/geese. The main thing with vent sexing is to be careful and very gentle, I think.
