Spoiled rotten
Pickles is thriving, and quite tolerant of 4 kids! It’s favorite thing to do is preen the dog😂. The 2 other eggs pipped externally yesterday, so friends are on the way! -
Thank you!
He’s a Shetland, and so babied by all my kids😂. I never realized what personalities ducks have! -
Thank you!
A big thanks to all that helped me hatching my first duck egg! Little Pickles is happy and active, the hatch went great. Now in 2 weeks 2 more will be hatching! -

Internal pip?
Shetland. I got it in a batch as an extra, and it's the only one that developed. -

Internal pip?
Just wondering if this is an internal pip, or shadowing? I had messed up my hatch date (I thought it was yesterday), but it’s actually Friday. It seems to be bobbing up and down. -

Incubation Question
In the last few weeks I decreased humidity to 50%, and the air cell looks normal now. I was concerned the Shetland egg air cell was too small. -

Incubation Question
Hi all! I have a Shetland due to go on lockdown tomorrow. I also have 3 other assorted duck eggs in the same incubator, but they are not due to hatch until July 4th. Will the younger eggs be affected by the high humidity for those days on lockdown? I still plan on turning multiple times...
