    Care for duckies

    Anyone have a good site on taking care of baby ducks? My duckies are 5 days old and so far I've been caring for them like I did my chicks, except unmedicated food. Now I'm wondering when they can go swimming.

    Thanks all!

    I just hatched 7 duckies using the info from all the posters here. I followed your good advice and my 1st hatch went great. I really appreciate those who take the time to answer questions from newbies like me.

    hatching duckies.....help!

    I would like to try hatching in an egg carton this time. I have a LG still air bator. With the eggs in the carton to hatch, does that put the top of the egg too close to the heating element? I know the LG doesn't have as much 'head' room as other models.

    What day can you expect to see movement inside the egg when candling?

    hatchability of porous eggs

    School teacher here....I will admit that I am a novice but when I candled my eggs most of them are speckled, which I have been told means they are porous. I've also been told that porous eggs usually will not hatch. I got my eggs from a large hatchery through a school program they offer rather...
