Durvet Vitamins and Electrolyte Solution Recipe?
Hi there!!! We are incubating 3 duck eggs and they are due in a week! Yay! It's been a few years since we've incubated/raised ducklings. At one time, someone posted a recipe for a Durvet Vitamins and Electrolyte concentrate out of an 8 oz package. Does anyone happen to have that? Or how do... -

One single duckling :( Recommendations for hatcheries?

A good starter incubator?
Hi there! I would like to try to incubate a few of duck eggs - I am a beginner. I'd like to start out just a few at a time. Do you have suggestions on a good incubator? It doesn't have to be super fancy - just something that a beginner like me with a few eggs until I get it figured out :)... -

Free Range Ducks - Eggs/Fertile/Not Fertile
Hello! This may seem like a silly question. We have 8 ducks that free range on our acre pond/floating duck house. They are about a year old. I usually find one or two eggs per day. How can I tell if they are fertilized? They don't seem to be broody and I pick up a few eggs daily. Would I... -
