    Please help identifiying breed! :)

    Hey! I bought 4 ducklings a year or two ago, and I still never found out what breed one of them was. I though maybe Blue Swedish? But she doesn't resemble the pictures online...[/IMG]

    Sorry for not posting! I've been busy with my adult and teenaged ducks! The little ducky is named Precious. Like Gollum and the One Ring. He used to look into the little mirror in his crate/box/thing and give it this mischievous look, and you could totally picture him saying,"What does the...

    Okay, so I peeled back the membrane, and there aren't any veins, it's just a little sticky. I don't think he's strong enough to crack the egg open, and he may be malpositioned. What now??

    He still hasn't unzipped any further, and it looks like he's stuck in that position. It keeps trying to poke it's whole bill through the membrane (which is vein-free) so should I peel it back? Or should I help him unzip?

    Um, well I'm actually not even using an incubator. I incubated these ducklings in a tupperware container under a heat lamp.

    All right! Thanks for the advise! What temperature do you recommend? I've read many different things, and none of them seem to agree.
