My chocolate hen hatched out seven eggs. Been three weeks now. Waiting to see what color and sex I have. Eat like crazy. Fingers crossed for some females.
I don't know about the twisted posts but was excited this morning so had to share. Sunday my buff hatched 9 cute ducklings and this morning I went to check on my ducks and out from under my mallard I saw a little head :-) So waiting (wish I could say with lots of patience) to see how many she has.
CyndiD has been 90 here for the last 3 days. Aircondition/ heat pump is not working. Coming tomorrow to look at it. Needless to say I no longer have heat on baby duck. Pretty sure his dad is my runner. His head almost touches aquarium top. He's less than 2weeks old. My chocolate I got last...
CyndiD didn't make swap. Went Thursday to pick up a year old chocolate female runner. Got home that afternoon and refrigerator had played out. Went picked one out Friday and they delivered it Saturday so stuck home. Did go yesterday and picked up another chocolate runner female. This one is...
CyndiD eggs are laid hatched and supposedly raised by mama duck. They are outside but have a small house to go into. I close the door every night. Plenty warm as long as mama duck keeps them close. Problem was see started back laying and didn't watch over the babies. The one that made it was...
CyndiD forgot where you are from but here it's in the upper 80's suppose to be low 90's tomorrow. Only 3:30 could get hotter. Gonna take a while to cool off today lol if I had more than one I could have them outside today. Night gets to cool. Think that's what happened to the other two. Mom...
CyndiD thanks. It would be bad loosening them but with a little 8 year old girl that hurts the most. Sat some rubber ducks beside the aquarium she investigated them and has got a little less vocal. Laying next to them.
CyndiD been awful weekend. My duck sitting on the mixed eggs only hatched three. She has already let two die. I have the third in house now and her back with drake because she decided to start laying eggs two days after the hatching. Seems she was carring for the eggs and not the ducklings...
CyndiD l see there is gonna be a swap met the 16th at Noah's Pet Shop on 460 in Prospect, Va. Saw on Craig's list. Not to far for me to go. Near Farmville. Maybe I'll find something there. Hope some of the Richmond people may come. Wish me luck lol
CyndiD have fb page hardly ever get on it. A lady that lives near me had told me there were farm sites last year. Never found them. Maybe look again. Got on Craig's list on several different cities close to me and nothing . Lynchburg Danville Roanoke Richmond. Have on Richmond because that's...
CyndiD I can't even find runner eggs. Have three little mixed maybe full breed hatched this morning. Mom has some more eggs waiting to see if anymore hatch. Didn't get all seperated before they started laying. Had a pair of buff and a pair of khaki campbell along with a male runner. No...
I went to a swap meet there last year. Got a name and number from someone who was gonna have runners this spring. Sent text never heard back. Got a couple of emails on my Craig's list adds. One decided she was 4 hrs from me and the other haven't heard back. Been several days. It's so...
CyndiD my post to you turned up somewhere else. Don't know why. But only have the one runner. He's white with some I guess fawn big spots. Have some other breeding pairs of buff, campbell, muscovy, and mallard. Don't have an incubator but know someone who does. He takes my guineas eggs and...
CyndiD I have other breeds of ducks but only one runner. My ducks sit their own eggs. I don't have an incubator but I do know someone that does. He takes my guinea eggs and hatches them and we split 50/50. It's just so unbelievable that no one close to me raises runners. I'm not trying to be a...
Some people. Went to a swap today and tractor supply had more ducks and chickens than the two sellers in the parking lot. Asked one lady with chickens if she knew of or if she sold runners. She told me I wasn't gonna find any around here. Told me pick up a phone and call a hatchery. Pretty...
