I went out to the chickens and ducks today lunch time and my lil baby fuzzy who's 7 weeks old WAS FLOATING ON TOP OF THE DUCK POND!
I ran in rushed her back to the house, she was freezing cold, no life in her what so ever. Her eyes were open and I thought I'd lost her. Just: she was dead...

Here's my duck Dave.
He hatched out the 15th of April. Now look at him all big (he's only 4 weeks old!)
He's the cutest duck ever and runs up to me and like hugs me when ever i go out. Unlike the others He still loves his mommy (the others seem to hate me and run away).
He's an Aylesbury duck...
Their 6 weeks old tomorrow and still tiny compared to the big hens.
How long should I wait, and when introducing them should I separate them for a while, but so they can still see each other but can't touch (slowly introduce them)

Ok Well I jus checked the bator and I got a duck that pipped yesterday been about about 30 hours.

Does it start absorbin the yolk then the veins, then finish off together. other yolk first the veins.
I've wondered becuase I've had some...
