I don’t, but I’ve cut up 2 cardboard egg boxes as 11 of the eggs are like it, and put them in there slightly tilted, and set my alarm to remind me to turn them to the other side... I have a Janoel 24 incubator, it normally does all the turning... so I’ve put the other 5 eggs between the...

Thank you... I really hope so.

I ordered 16 runner duck eggs and when they arrived (4th day after being laid), they were all upside down. I candled some of them and the air sacs were at the pointy end. I was going to incubate them tonight before I discovered this - the parcels were rested for 24 hours before I opened them...

My Runner Ducks are 7 months old, and I realise it’s mating season now. My top runner male beat up one of the others to secure his place in the flock. I separated them for about a week and now things are fine. But the little shit now goes for me. I grab him and hold him under my arm while I...

2 male ducks fighting tooth and nail over 2 females, even though one duck already has his mate - he seems to want both females... The whole brood of 4 males, 2 females were fine for ages... until today. 1 female, 2 males are 7 weeks older than the other 1 female and 2 males. they were all...

Did all that. I’m wondering if the others walk over them before I get them. She even laid one in the dog’s bed 🥰. Bless her. My ducks are pets, so they come in and out of the house - except at night when they’re put to bed in their house.

My 6 Quackers are very messy, and one of the 2 females has started laying an egg a day. But when I collect the egg, it’s covered in poop, straw and feathers. I wanted to try to hatch some of them, so I know you can’t give them a good old wash in case I wash off any protective coating...

My cat killed 2 of my 5 baby ducks. But I hatched 3 more and gradually introduced them to the slightly older ones. They’re a lovely little team now. Du’Vey has started laying an egg a day 5 days ago - I’ve put 4 in the incubator to see what happens.

My ducks love kiwi, with the skin on, and when they have softened. I chop them up and add it to their veggies... they squeal with delight... bless them 🥰

How do I stop my 2 baby ducklings pecking the vulnerable one? They’re 2 days old, and the other one is one day old and he’s not been too well, sleeping all day in a strange position in the incubator. They pecked at him while he was hatching. He needed help hatching. I helped with the shell...
