Hey guys. Just thought I'd say hello as I've spent so much time learning things from this site I figured I may as well become a member!
We've just picked up an incubator yesterday and are picking up runner eggs and 2x year old ducks at the weekend too! So excited!
Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions as to the amount of eggs I should get? I'm a first timer at this and will be using a hand made incubator which has proven successful for lots of other people and have an in-depth instruction manual. I've tried to do as much research as I can, I'm dreaming duck info at the mo! I told the guy we're getting the eggs from that I'd ideally like 3 ducklings to hatch. He says his eggs have a 95% success rate - but he's been hatching a while. He reckons I should get 12 eggs. I'm worried optimistically that I'll be overrun with ducklings! I don't have enough room for that many! Help!? Thanks Beth.
