Hi, I incubated 3 call duck eggs with my chicken eggs just to see if they were even fertilized. Well we candled all the chicks and duck eggs that didn’t hatch and it seemed there wasn’t anything in any of them. We went outside to crack open the eggs to identify why the eggs didn’t hatch (incubator or rooster problem). Well when we cracked on of the duck eggs there was a living duck. The other two never developed.
We immediately put it back in the incubator and after a few days she hatched. Now she is all healthy and energetic. She is very attached to me and people. She is 7 weeks old right now.
I have two adult call ducks one drake and one female. I also have about 15 ducklings scheduled to hatch in 16 days.
I need some advice on how to go about integrating her outside. She has already met the adults and they all keep their distance from each other, although the male has gone after her twice in what I assume was to mate with her.
I feel like she is at an odd age to go with the adults and not get hurt or killed. And she is too big and will be aggressive to the new ducklings. The other problem is she is too attached ti people and will freak out if I left her outside by herself.
If anyone has any advice on what I should do I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
