I found on CL some Call/BEI mixes that were hatched 5/21. I will get them on Mon. so hopefully my duckling will survive alone until then.

Good luck Terry, this part is so nerve wracking! Also if you use a light bulb in the inc, don't spray the bulb with water, it will blow!

Thanks for the advice, this is the best website for help! I will be getting 3 call/East Indie mixes on Mon. They are already a week old. What great luck, especially for CL! I hope it works!

thanks

Hi, I had just one call duck hatch today. I have another set of eggs in another incubator but they are 2 weeks behind. Now what? Will it survive 2 weeks with no friends? On CL there are Peking duck babies, order from a hatchery but they will be regular duck sized? Too big to be with this...

Hi, I only have 1 call duck that has made to the pipping stage. IF this one and only survives, I know I need to get him a friend. My question is what age range can the new duckling be and does if have to be a call as I probably have to go with CL. Will it be ok with a Peking? If the other...

Nice job!

I'm leaning more towards calls also....

Hi, I'm trying to decide which bantam duck breed to try. So far these Silkies look great. Are they Friendly? Will they let you touch them? I had the standard ducks Welsh Harlequins (all drakes) from Cackle, a rouen and a mixed but were not put up at night and a predator got them. Now I want...

Newhomesteader, I think processing rabbits is a little different than chickens also. I processed many roosters and chickens and finally have it down pretty good, I skin my chickens to avoid plucking, my DH won't help. Well I needed to process 3 rabbits that were about 8 months old and asked DH...

That's funny!

Your doe Spirit is pretty! Is she friendly? Can you hold her? My NZ is not mean but doesn't like to be held, she kindled 2 weeks ago. I need to get some pics.

Wow! I never knew rabbit was that much! Well here is my 2 cents. I had domesticated rabbit 20+ years ago and have been craving it since, taste better than chicken IMO. Well hubby went rabbit hunting and I thought wild rabbit was tough like a year old roo. So you should REALLY like some domestic...
