    Welsh harlequin duck? Help me understand!!

    Well that makes sense. They weren't from a hatchery but a well known breeder in our country! We were told the left duck was a gold phase and right a silver phase. The drake was from the same hatchery but he's not ours. If I remember correctly maybe his colours weren't as striking as the photos...

    Welsh harlequin duck? Help me understand!!

    We have 2 females WH, lovely little things and lay brilliant sized eggs. We borrowed a WH drake and incubated the egg. The baby is now 8 months but doesn't look like a WH...any ideas why not? The 'duckling' is in the middle. Thanks.

    I was sure they were girls but this is my first time with WH and doubting myself now. I also have this photo at 8 days old.

    I thought we had 3 ladies...1 silver phase and 2 golden phase. They are now 4 weeks and I'm not so sure. What do you think? Thanks.

    HELP PLEASE!!! Brinsea Octagon 20 Advance EX (w/Auto Humidity Pump)

    I know this is an old thread but I think you have just sorted my Brinsea. Had 2 very poor hatches, hope this works now. Thermometer temp has raised to a perfect 37.5 now. Thanks.

    Welsh harlequin duckling with twisted foot...what can I do to help him? Pics included.

    Thank you very much for your reply. The foot is unable to go flat, I'm just able to make straight but not that extra 90 degrees to make the foot flat. I hope I'm explaining myself properly here. I'm just going to have a good look at that site now. I've just been reading about niacin, will...

    Anyone? Worried the longer I leave it, the harder it might be to correct it.

    First time hatching ducks and for some reason they were very late hatching...5 days late! All four are ok but one has a twisted foot, what can I do to help him? Hate seeing him like this. We will be keeping him but would also like to help him as much as possible too. Any advice would be...

    Please help me choose what incubator to buy? Budget of £130...max £150!

    Very true ^^^ I think I've decided on a brinsea 20 octagon advance automatic. It is over my ideal budget but hey I think it will do the job and what I need. What put me off the smaller brinsea is you can put goose eggs in there and I would love to give geese a go later in the year.

    Please help me choose what incubator to buy? Budget of £130...max £150!

    Thanks for your reply. Maybe I should bite the bullet and go for a brinsea. Which brinsea would you all recommend? I'm slightly tempted to get 2 smaller ones rather than one that holds 20, as we would be able to incubate ducks and hen eggs the same time then. What do you all think? :)

    Please help me choose what incubator to buy? Budget of £130...max £150!

    I'm looking to buy an incubator next week, but I'm really not sure what to buy within budget. I want it to hold about 20+ eggs and it must be an automatic. I'm within the UK and will be hatching welsh harlequins and RIR to start with. (Not the same time) What do you recommend and where should...

    Can't get rid of sour crop...any ideas?
