    Twin ducklings!

    Update on the twins... The rest of the eggs have either internally or externally pipped EXCEPT the twins. I'm becoming worried if I should begin to think about intervening or just let them continue. There is little to no movement in the egg and I do not want to just leave them knowing if I had...

    Twin ducklings!

    Well no progress from the twins, but there are 6 more eggs hatching with them. Two babies have made it out so far and two more have pipped the shell.

    Twin ducklings!

    I don't know the exact chances of twins hatching from an egg, or surviving in the egg period. But I have a buff egg that I'm self incubating that has twins. Today everyone is starting to hatch. They haven't internally pipped yet, but they're both still a kickin in the egg. So I'm just letting...

    Do you lock your ducks up every night??

    This was before it was 100% finished out. The roof is white and is trimmed out white now. You can kind of see the beds in the camera pictures. Our girls are laying for their first time so I put a baby monitor I had out there to keep an eye on them at night.

    Do you lock your ducks up every night??

    We have 3 mallards and 3 buffs and we lock them in a house we built from a pop up camper. We have oue fair share of predators here in east Texas at night so we decided the own we built isn't protection enough for them. We have HUGE hogs that run through our property a lot and will tear up...

    My babies laid their first egg!

    I went to put up our babies in their house, and I noticed an egg. But it was only one and had been there alone for a while, so I know the females aren't laying on it. Any advice for a mom who's feather babies are just now layin for the first time?
