This guy just born. He peaked and cam straight out of egg.
He is very active and moving around all other eggs who haven’t starting to crest.
What do I do. Leave in?
he is moving the other eggs around😜
So when is it normal for her to sit. After first egg? A few then she will start to build nest or when she is completely done laying? She has basically payed 4-5 and not sit on any yet. No nest.
I want all of it😄
I mostly want to repopulate the pond/lake that my house sits on. I miss seeing the ducks we use to have. I want to take some to incubate... and have her sit and nest...I don’t want to mess her up. I’ve been incubating to make sure I get a few of her ducklings hatched. I’m...
My Welsh lays an egg a day.... her first four weren’t fertile but now our Rouen is mating with her. We put about 9 in incubator because she seems to take little interest in them. Well now she is at least laying them kind of near each other. One is 6 feet from the other 3. I’ve left those. We...
Would you bring her in away from boys until we get more females? I ordered a large coop to go on our back porch. I can get her out almost daily to small pool . Will she keep laying all spring and Summer?
So I’m a rook at this...I brought 6 ducks into our pond. It’s a high bear and big turtle area. Lost 2 females. Don’t know how. I want to bring them in at night... they are hard to get into cage. Also told bears will get thru anything. I’ve been leaving them out by pond where they can escape...
Thank you! They are awesome. He’s a Rouen. So at tractor supply it comes pulls up a 8x 8 strong steel kennel but it doesn’t mention electrical fence.... I guess it’s separate. Much more expensive? So it wouldn’t hurt the ducks?
I feel horrible. When they sleep on my property they stay in middle of my grass bunched together. I would gladly put them up but the last time I tried 2 went in cage and 2 didn’t. I had a mated pair get separated and after that they freaked. Just now gaining some trust back.
Fence on either side. Run as in a chance or area to get away? Bears literally swim over to my back yard at times but they do have time to notice and run/swim
Off topic. .. these 4 ducks free roam by my back pond. I brought them in a few nights but they won’t come in anymore. I have already lost 2. My Welsh is the last female. We have black bear. Large turtles. Afraid to lose another duck. Was going to buy large dog kennel but tractor supply says...
Yes.
The good news is that those pics are of her first 4... took multiple pics. I have another 4 in another incubator and 2 more in my kitchen at room temp waiting to go in incubator together at same time. She keeps laying.
