    Mama tossing eggs

    They are doing ok. Had a total of four ducklings hatch but unfortunately my drake killed one so now he is in a separate run from mamas and babies.

    I absorbed yolk?

    This egg was probably 2 days earlier than the others. It is hard to tell because I had two mamas and they laid a week apart. They also switched eggs between their nests. He is in an incubator with a wet cloth now. Thank you so much!

    Help with duckling

    As soon as I opened the door the mama quacked like she always does and the duckling peeped over and over so I think she recognized her mama. I went over and set the duckling down by mama and she took it under her wing. Yay!! I’ve been keeping an eye on them just to be sure.

    Help with duckling

    I had three ducklings externally pip under mama but them mama took her other ducklings off the nest so I put the three in an incubator. One has successfully hatched so far. My question is will mama accept the duckling if after it dries and fluffs I give it back to her? Thank you

    Removing ducklings from hen question....

    May I ask why people take the ducklings away from their mamas? I’m a first time duck mom with newly hatched ducklings and was just curious. I would feel horrible after all the work mama went through just to take them away from her. Thanks for any input
