Thank you everyone. I found non-medicated game bird starter. They seem to really like it. I was worried at first because they refused to eat. But now they are litttle pigs. The soda bottle is a great idea will have to get the hubby on that one. Right now they are using my sons Gerber graduate...

My silkies just hatched 2 pekin duck eggs(experiment) and now I have no idea how to care for them. Is it the same as chicks? What do I feed them, do I let them swim, and if not now when? I actually have a small dish in with them and they splash in it. I read on here about angel wing(?) if given...

Thanks for the info. I actually have been looking for an incubator, but the feed stores around here are not getting them anymore. I have to build one or order an inexpensive one off line. I wasn't going to allow them to sit this year being that I just got them and love the eggs, but the thought...
