Hi! That’s okay, I was busy the last few days as well! It’s good to hear from you! I’m glad all is well and you’re getting ready to move your ducklings with the adults next week! Really?! So you’re hoping for baby ducklings from your sitting duck?!
I have mine on duck starter- since it’s duck...
Aww!! I love the name! 😂 Ruling the kingdom!!! Yes! Everyone is very happy! To the point where I did all the work, research, incubating, turning, misting, etc., I’m out cutting the lawn- for 3 weeks waiting for these little babies to hatch- i get a call- “the duck is hatching (the first one of...
Aww- that’s so sweet! I bet they love playing with the baby ducks!!
Yes, I want it to look cute because we’re in a really nice development. If we had a large multiple acre lot like you, I’d make it a little more rustic! Wow, New Zealand!! That’s awesome! I bet it’s gorgeous there! I’m from the...
@FunnyfarmMidwest thank you for your continued support with #10. Unfortunately, as much as I don’t want to believe it, I don’t think she made it. I ended up unplugging the bator an hour ago and decided I would bury her in my garden where Mama Duck’s nest is/was when they were first laid...
I’m glad to hear everyone is settling and happy!!! Yeah- mine don’t even flinch when I pull out the cookie sheets, pots and pans, etc.. They’re in the kitchen, across from the eating area, in front of the sliding glass doors, in a clear see through tote so they can see the “outside” world. I had...
Thank you for the warm welcome 💜 Omgosh- when you went back to the store to ask the questions about the balut eggs and tried to get it on video.. hilarious! Even prior when you said you could possibly use the translator!!! :gigI had no idea what a balut egg was and that it even existed, let...
Hi Kiki, my name is Jacquelyn- I found this site because I rescued 10 eggs when their mother was abducted by a fox- anyhow, your balut egg forum was one of the firsts I came across with over 6K and read over 200 pages of it, before I had to stop because I had to gear up for my own hatch and had...
Everyone (ALL 9) have safely made it to the brooder and are enjoying each other's company in the new space they have! THEY ARE LOVING THE WATERER!!! All 9 are equally active/healthy and happy doing duckling things and when they snuggle together and lay with their feet stretched behind them- it’s...
I posted everyone’s internal pips, external pips and hatch date and times so hopefully this information can be useful to someone in the future. They can read the dates and times of each duckling and see every variation between the internal pips, external pips and hatch times for each individual...

I have 9/10 hatched! Birthdays are listed in the order of hatch and their “current names” are in the...
@JaeG I will send a picture in the morning when I add my youngest 3 to the brooder with my older 3 at 9am, so you can see everyone together!!! Feel free to send more cute pictures from your end as well!
Luckily- I find the adult mallard’s and other ducks just as adorable as the babies, so I...
