    Duckling imprinting behaviour

    Just wondering if my female ducks (hand reared) are showing submissive behaviour or imprinting behaviour towards me? When I go outside they come over to me - 2 will immediately lower their head and necks and slightly spread their wings and then I pet them for a wile. The 3rd will always be...

    Are my ducklings dying in their shell?

    I peeled the shell from the 32 day duckling but it died during the process.

I don't know whether to go ahead and do the...

    Are my ducklings dying in their shell?

    Thanks for your replies. I am new to this and haven't calibrated the thermometer so not sure if that could be the problem. I e-mailed the guy who sold me the incubator who has been really helpful. He's advised me to crack the overdue eggs to see if there are any live ducklings and to help...
