Only one survived thanks to advice and help I received from people on the Backyard Chickens of Mississippi Facebook Group.

This is what it looks like this morning.

Need advice! Our two duck eggs started piping this afternoon earlier than we expected. This is our first hatch and I'm worried about the membranes drying out. Does this look ok? Or do I need to do something quick? [/IMG]

If you were in Southern Mississippi, I'd take a Welsh Harlequin and a Cayuga. Good luck!

Would love the Welshies, but I'm on the MS gulf coast. Good luck with finding all of them a home! Sorry you have to give them up.

Congrats!

So sorry for your loss.

Thanks Buff Goose Guy! Good to know!

Thanks Buff Goose Guy. I've been telling my hubby that I think our little Mallard may be a drake. Can't wait to find out for sure. Have you seen this image/chart before? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/metro/urban-jungle/images/mallards.jpg How accurate do you think it is?

Yes we both have very happy ducks! LOL Beach Duck 1 we have a few days of sun and then there's supposed to be more rain coming for a few days. Our backyard is a swamp right now. My DH jokingly said that we might as well add a few more trees and some bog plants and make it official! LOL I...

Beach Duck 1, Your ducks aren't alone! Lol At least our water is slowly going down. Our whole backyard was flooded at one point!

Does anyone know of someone on the Mississippi Gulf Coast that has WH ducklings available for pick up? I just want to get one female to add to our flock of currently 3 ducklings: 1 Pekin, 1 Mallard, 1 Buff; and additional ducklings to arrive in June: 2 Khaki Campbell, and 2 Cayuga. I'd be...

That's ok Buff Goose Guy. Thanks for watching anyways. I've been having trouble with sound on that video too. Yet some of my relatives have had to problems. Go figure! Lol
