I need to know what to do? I have already lost one baby this way but now I'm trying not lose another one...momma duck burried it out side the nest edge...so I took her in she/he is still moving. What do I do? First time hatching eggs, no incubator. Just a warming light, how close should the...

Wanted to share what I got yesterday!!!

Walked out tonight to put my chickens up and was so surprised to find 3 babies! Momma is still sitting and I noticed 2 more starting to hatch...update in the morning.

Grreat thanks! I figured once they start hatching I would drain the kiddie pool, lol. I would like to leave them outside with momma (free ranges) but everyone keeps telling me to bring them inside???

THANKS TO EVERYONE!!! All very helpful I'll be sure to follow up once they hatch...speaking of hatching since momma duck is doing everything (no incubator) when they start to hatch do I need to do anything?

Hi in approximately 6 days I will be the proud owner of newly hatched pekin ducklings...I'm looking for any and all advice. What do they eat?(same as chicks?) When can they swim? Anything special I can do for them and/or momma duck? Will they all hatch at same time? I live in florida so weather...

2 pekin's here! I have 1 drake(Aflac) and 1 hen(Flo) who is currently sitting on her first "litter"... I'm new so I don't know much terminology, lol. Est. due date is June 10th...I have questions though. They are in a pen with a rooster and 6 hens (chickens, who all free range during the day)...

Just wanted to say thanks! We hopefully will be having baby ducks in around 21 days because about a week ago (the day after I posted on here) she started sitting on them! I did candle them and I see something in there that looks like vein lines! I'm so excited but what will I need to prepare...

yes I do LOL

ok thanks so much I will do that!!!

what do you mean by candle them?

I have lots of questions I'm looking for some basic info....I have a duck that has been laying for 2 months or so. I don't use that many duck eggs so I ended up leaving a lot in the pen.. It got me thinking...how old will she be when she can have babies??? How will I know if she is ready? There...

Thanks, believe it or not the duck (Aflac) rules the roost lol. I'm thinking maybe a little silver laced wyandotte??

What kind of rooster is this?
