Question, i just had 6 ducklings hatch a few days ago. We had a storm come through as #6 was working its way out and our power went out. I had to make the decision to plug up the heat lamp instead of the incubator. I assisted in its hatching but i noticed that he is blid in his left eye. Other...
Ok so i have finally managed to incubate ducklings! Out of the 8 eggs 6 made it, 1 was too late and 1 wasnt any good. But i have 6 fuzzy little bundles of cuteness overload! I am curious though, we had a big storm come through and the last duckling i had to help because we lost power and i could...
These are my babies! There are 2 chocolate runners, 1 pekin and the other 3 are runners also! I had some rivalry with them and the guineas at first, but they are all getting along now!
These are the babies that i bought! I am almost certain that most if not all are Runners! Or a mix of them. They are so cute! Had to share with everyone since the incubator eggs i don't think are any good... They have quite the personalities!
