    Hello Texas! I'm in the process of relocating to DFW area. I am rehoming a hatchling Blue Runner/Blue Swedish duckling. If anyone has ducklings it could have new friends as, that would be great as she is currently the only duckling!

    Spoiled lol thanks for checking on her. I think I might have to find someone else that has ducklings her size because she's obviously wanting me a lot. Ducks should really be with their own kind.

    it was my first time hatching an egg so I thought the same thing! I appreciate all the help from the people on this site and the forums that have been written over the years. I wouldn't have been able to do this otherwise!

    Someone else said it was actually just poop. Sorry lol I tend to use 'chick' as a generic term erroneously.

    I hatched this chick without an incubator and this is what it looks like.

    I used a card board box and made approximately 5" by 5" cutouts on each side for ventilation. Then I heated the entire bathroom with an electric heater and turned the shower on hot and let it run often so the air was thick and humid. I used a digital heat thermometer and a baby thermometer to...

    She's doing good. I gave her some water and decided not to give food until she can walk around and flush it with water on her own. She talks to me a lot.

    I was going to ask this- when she can moved to a heat lamp. Shes sitting up scooting around. I'm glad because my thermostat is right outside the bathroom door. They said wait 24hrs so I'll just have it handy. Should I use my thermometer to make sure it's at 95 degrees? Should I still moniter...

    Couldn't get a good picture without picking her up. Didn't know how serious it was until you said something. I'm seriously allergic to cloramine in the water and I've been miserable for hours due to sitting in the bathroom for hours with the hot shower on hoping praying watching snot running...
