    I don't remember if I mentioned it, but both my girls are sitting on nests now! Haha. They did all come out today at least. And I see who is queen of the eggs in there lol! Lulu only leaves nibbles with about 6 eggs and she hogs all the rest! And babies are doing great so far. Growing so fast...

    Everyone gets along pretty well actually :) it's the fresh new ones that need time to wait before they can hang with the big kids haha. Usually id wait about a day before letting new ones in. Need to get them used to water and food on their own without getting trampled by the others eager for...

    I'll take a picture of them when I put them all in the bathtub while I'm cleaning out their box. sometimes I like to let them run around in the tub for a bit to get a little bit more exercise and I put a small pan of water in there to swim and clean themselves (I dont fill it of course, or the...

    Well, its funny that I posted recently on the matter, because this morning I walked out and BOTH girls are laying on eggs. So now there's 2 nests. They split the eggs too haha! Doesn't look like there was a fight over it, but I'm glad to see my girls are taking some kinda responsibility. ^_^ its...

    Lulu, my girl that sits on the nest, has accidentally broken about 3 of her eggs, eh heh... but there's 21 in there now. When I come to let them out and refill food and water, she's the last one out the pen. She quacks funny and has her head scrunched down and feathers ruffled. It's like she's...

    Its doing great now! Nice and fluffy and active. The others huddle up together to keep warm and he picks a cozy spot with them. Its so cute! Now we have 3 left. But it appears that only one is moving :/ we've lost a total of 6 so far, if we lose the 3 that's left, it would be a 50% hatch :/ I...

    The other came out not long after I got home today. It seems weak though. Its breathing, but doesn't peep too much or flail around like the others after being outta the shell. Hopefully its ok... giving it time to relax in the bator, and I peep at it a bit to kinda stimulate it to do the same...

    Another is pipping, since yesterday. There's a hole this morning. Taking it's time. My sisters' friends' mother has a little farm that some will go to if they don't find homes. It's not exactly easy rehoming ducks like it is cats and dogs.... ducks need love too! ^_^

    Haha yea ours is a block of ice almost every day. But now I try emptying it out if I can and don't fill it til morning. But I take a cooler back and forth getting water from my sanitary sink with hot water. By the time I get to the pool, the water is nice and warm. They run for that thing...

    I think she's being broody today lol. I opened the pen to fill food and water and the other two went nuts, while she stayed on the nest. Usually when I open it up, they ALL go nuts. There's 21 in there right now. And they're definitely fertile. I've checked since the last time I went out to...

    As they were laid, I'd wait a few days, put them in, wait a few more days, put more in, and so on... I kept them at room temp before adding to the bator. Maybe next time I bate eggs, I'll try to be more careful with filling it and keeping temp and humidity just right.
