    First time hatching using a incubator (Duck eggs)

    Just a little update on the babies, they imprinted on our sweet old lady dog who is dying of cancer. She never had puppies but you could say she finally became a mother before the end.

    Are my hens actually drakes?!

    Those are not even welsh harlequins. Are the pics just of your magpie and saxony? As I see the magpie in both photos and the grey headed male in both photos is not a welsh harlequin either.

    Is this normal for shipped eggs?

    The other egg that pipped hatched after I went to sleep so had two ducklings this morning.
