    Building a new pond for ducks

    Has anyone built a pond from scratch? Esp, using solar power? I have a bunch of Muscovy ducks, and would like to put a pond in for them. Any ideas, designs etc would be helpful. Thanks Jessica

    No eggs hatching

    Thats not the issue, though. It's that they aren't hatching, even though they are fertilized. They are either not fully developed even at the full 35 or so days, or they are rotting. Even the chicks that start to hatch are dying. Jessica

    I just did some research, and it looks like they were born with their yolk sacs outside, not their inards. Atleast, that seems to be the closest thing I can find. jessica

Time came for the ducks, one came, then the second one, and he/she came out a little strange. All the other eggs were doing fine, moving around. then nothing. the next day, I decided...
