Miracle update. First time taking a bath. He loved it! Think he liked splashing Angel more who was curious but not enough to get wet! Lol
I am just thankful that Miracle made it his first week without any problems. He is one tough cookie! :weee
I am on the lookout for some call ducklings. Looking for 4-6 ducklings. I am from the Shawano area (30 miles west of green bay). Im hoping to find some within a 40-50 mile radius of my home.
Good morning my fellow wisconsinite duck friends. I am on the lookout for some call ducklings. Looking for 4-6 ducklings. I am from the Shawano area (30 miles west of green bay). Im hoping to find some within a 40-50 mile radius of my home. Also, what is a decent price for call ducks?
My next...
I wanted to give everyone an update on my premie duckling, Miracle. He is doing fantastic. Waddling around, being sassy with his chick buddy, Angel. Swimming around in his water dish and yes the chick is starting to think its a duck. This pick is the day after he was born, but I will post an...
I pm'd someone in this group. So far everything is under control. I made a big boo boo by taking shell off after he made a bigger opening but after a major amount of help, he looks A LOT better. Praying for a full recovery
P.s. I panicked which is how I got into this mess. This past month was my...
HELP! I have a single duckling egg hatching in my incubator. It has been pipping since 1am. Today is 26 days, it is a rouen/pekin mix. It has about a 1 in-1.5 in hole already. Egg is on its side but I can see yolk underneath duckling. Is thos normal? What do I do?

Ok thank you. She has been coming back to the nest all the time. Only time she gets up is to eat, drink and cool off in the pool. Otherwise she's laying the rest of the time.
That helps a lot! Thank you so much. I'm still learning but I'm getting there. I can't wait until they hatch. I hope the duck eggs I have in my incubator hatch out ok. But I know not all make it. I lost 2/13 banty chicks I bought on the 19th and 3/31 pheasant chicks I bought Saturday. Since I...
Her first egg, she laid May 10th, which would be due June 4 give or take. But she has 14 eggs laid each day after that so her last egg laid would be due mid June right?
She has been sitting for 3 days. I took a peek in her nest after I filled their pool up and I counted 16 eggs. She got up to cool off in their pool and went right back on nest.
Now I'm confused. Incubation period for duck eggs is 25 days. Her first egg was laid on May 10th. She's been laying 1 egg each day since (total of 15 eggs) and she's laying on them already? She's laying, only getting up to eat and drink and making hissing sounds when I walk by pen. I have 2 duck...
