Aww! You have one cute little baby there! I'm hearing peeps and seeing rocking eggs but no external pips yet! Congrats, and sorry for your loss at the same time! As for what color your baby will be, no idea! You may end up with a white duck! Keep us posted with pics!
I have 8 call eggs under a first time mom, we are at day 24. 2 years ago, my other call pair were first time parents and the mom trampled the eggs when they started moving. I only saved 2 of the 11, and it was so hard... I can't stress hard enough, don't intervene unless you absolutely have...
All I can tell you is that I handled mine from the day I got them and they follow me everywhere! It's a good and bad thing, lol. If I go in the house they make a racket until I come back out or they will just go back into their coop. It's actually pretty funny. They aren't as loud as my pekins...
You are doing an amazing job! I can't imagine the frustration of not knowing how far apart they were laid! Keep us posted, praying for a great outcome for you!

Hi everyone! I am in a bind with my 3 Pekins. I have 2 drakes and a female that are not getting along with the rest of my flock. I would like to re-home them to a larger farm where they would have more room. They are friendly and have been handled since they hatched. I am in Summit county, if...
Hello there! I am fairly new as well but just from my experience so far, yes they can drown in the kiddie pool, as far as getting along with the chickens, my 3 pekins still don't get along with the other 2 ducklings I have, so that will be a kind of wait and see I think. My ducks can dirty a...
Does he ever stop and settle down? Were the two raised together? The only reason I ask about them being together is because my 2 (unknown breeds, thought they were rouins)flap and puff up to look bigger when they are around my pekins who are 2 weeks older (and about 5x bigger, lol). The second...
