Just a little update, From the 5 eggs I had one stopped developing, 3 hatched and 1 died after pipping :( I now have 3 healthy happy ducks. This time they came out the eggs and they weren't as weak from the start. I can see a huge difference in them, they are growing much much faster and their...

They're due to hatch 6th July, all 5 are developing as I can see veins today. I will follow the advice and not let them go swimming so early on this time :( Thanks xx

I had been following the advice from http://www.carolinecrockeroriginals.co.uk/sheldon_pages/handy_hints_for_raising_duckling.htm I didn't add marbles to their water though, it did seem deep enough their whole beak did get wet from it (like I say mine is slightly bigger than that one it was...

Thanks everyone, you are all so kind. I know I'll get over this it's just been a really bad day with this happening. Even though their lives were short I feel they were happy, well cared for and loved and I will just have to try to keep thinking like that. They were so beautiful and always so...

I had them in a vivarium, which has 3 vents in it. The temperature felt fine, I did keep a thermometer under the Ecoglow at first but took it out when they were pooping it was about 32celcius under there. I also dried them with a towel after they had bathed before putting them back. I really...

Water was fine, nothing in when they bathed. I live in the UK so getting eggs to me is a bit far :P Thanks though xx

I already have 5 eggs in the incubator again as only 2 hatched and my plan was to keep 2 ducks and a drake. They were on normal chick feed as I knew about the medicated one being bad, vitamins in their water. I've been using...

I had to clean them daily, I never knew 2 little ducklings could be so messy. I'd do anything to get them back. I really don't get this. I am so gutted, I miss them :( I feel like I'd have been able to understand more if it was one but it's both of them, I feel it must be my fault but nothing...

I have just woke up to find both my 1 week old ducklings dead :( :( :( Can someone please explain how this can happen? They get cleaned daily, nothing had got to them, temperatures have been right, they were talking back to me only last night. I just don't get this. They were running around...

Yeah you're right :)

Introducing Puddle and River. Puddle's is the smaller slightly wetter one and River is the bigger one, that's if you can spot the difference from these pics

Both babies are doing well now, the older one had some sugary water and they've both eaten a bit of boiled egg yolk. I think I worried too much with these being my first babies, the smaller one; which was born first, is called Puddle and the bigger one is called River

One was born 6 hours ago and the other 5 hours ago. I am concerned about the one born first though, the second one is up and walking around whereas the first one is just lying there listless. I have tried giving it some sugary water but it doesn't seem to want to know and the unhatched eggs...

Are you sure they've seen the note? My daughter likes to put my phone under my pillow (she's 5) and I've slept on it and not noticed, it's only been the next day when I ask her where my phone is and she shows it me and tells me I slept on it!

Those 2 babies are almost out now nothing from the other eggs though

Awww they're lovely Well after I slept I woke up to find two of my eggs have very tiny cracks what a busy night they've had! Ha ha
