Impressed most Pekin have as much mothering instinct as a doorknob lol. Good luck. Hope she achieves some little ones. Kits too? wow, bred lionheads eons ago but have gone out of that...

This year i am hopeful to be 'babyless' on the farm, have our own two legged one coming with our oldest expecting that is more than enough excitement for one year.

So this is momma Daisey! Shes being a good momma. No babies yet, but i did candled a few last night and i could see them moving and little duckie feet!! From pics that i have seen they look around 24ish days so anytime now!! She has been spending a little more time outside of her nest. I read somewhere they may do this when hatching nears. Does anyone know if that is true?

What a good mama-to-be!! I have read other members saying the same thing about their ducks spending a bit more time away when hatch time is closer.
