Here are my Ancona Ducklings I just hatched yesterday. Happy easter!!

Looks like they are pecking at the tape because its shiny?

Happy Easter. . Ok so my hatch is over and I got three, yes three... out of my three duck eggs. 100% Hatch

Wow i just read your signature....thats alot of animals!!! I have 24 chickens, 2 dogs and now 3 ducks. I want turkeys but i just don't have the room.

one duckling out and two pips in my other two eggs...got three in the mail all made it to lockdown and all three have activity.

Thank you for the reply. That makes me feel much better. Good luck with the rest of your hatch!!!

I'm curious do you know when the ducking first piped? I have never hatched ducks before and I know they say it can take a long time from pip to zip. I had one pip last night and wondering when I should expect to see more progress??

Last night I noticed one had piped and I can hear chirping. The other two have nothing so far but hatch day isn't until Sunday so here's to hoping I get more than just one! They are Anacona Duck eggs.

Well I could not wait any longer so I candled my Duck eggs (day 5) and YAY!!! all three are growing perfectly. I was worried as I got them from ebay...you know how shipped eggs can be, plus you never know what you get from ebay.

I honestly don't know. I just thought they were pretty.

Here is a picture after I placed the three anacona duck eggs in the bator this afternoon

Take a picture of the eggs?

i have three anacona duck eggs that i was going to put in today. Ill wait until noon. Id love to join!

I'm putting a few Anacona Duck eggs in the bator this morning. I have never incubated Duck eggs before, lots of chicken eggs but no ducks. I am told they take about 28 days which is awesome as I just realized that brings to me right about Easter!! What could be a better time to hatch. I would...

I won't let them out during the storm either... i agree, I just tried to cover the run as much as I could so when the storm in over there won't be two feet of snow in their run. I'll do alot for them but I won't shovel 2 feet of snow for them...lol. Wish I thought of the flock block too late...

My husband was just saying the same thing. I think we will only put the tarp over half of it and I'll have to keep checking on it. Thanks!!!

I'm in MA as well and I plan to cover their run with a tarp and wrap the sides in contractor plastic so the snow doesn't get into the run and they can still get out and have more space. I gave them a big bowl of BOSS and I plan to give them a bunch of dried mealworms tonight when I lock them...

If you want a brrody get a silkie, My silkie is always broody she even is now and it's 10 degrees outside. I have let her hatch two sets of large fowl chicks and she is a very good mom as well. I like to hatch chicks and I have been giving her eggs too as she is always broody. A Silkie is a...

I'm not sure if i'll get any more this spring as I have 25 already but if I were I would want some differently colored eggs, I'm thinking some kind of olive egger, BCM. I have a blue splash marans but she is laying brown speckled egg not very dark at all. I have 3 easter eggers that lay a...

9 from 24 sounds bad i know but it's actually the best I've gotten in a couple months. Girls were moulting so it's a positive sign that they are starting back up again!
