    Experience with Runner Ducks

    I lied, my old man said we are not rich enough for organic feed. (Whoops) lol My ducks are so laid back. My male is almost shy. I just love them to death!

    I had separated my maybe from my viable. One exploded in the bator. I have one more duck egg to go and I'm done. Ready to clean that sucker out. Have one vent hole open and want to puke every time I walk past it. I feel bad for the duck in there

    They are adorable! I can't get a good pic of mine unless I take them out of their brooder. The head lamp makes them look Orange.

    How is your chick doing? One of mine died the other is thriving and with the other chicks now. Didn't have any corn starch when I looked so used baking powder. Worked like a charm.

    Muscovy hatching help

    I don't have muscovys, but did just hatch 7 of 9 the other two are pipped. In my honest opinion I would not stagger hatch unless you have 2 bators. I have done it. The humidity for the last 3 days needs to be between 65 and 70. In the beginning it needs to be lower than 60. Everyone varies on...

    Experience with Runner Ducks

    I am wanting to exclusively have runner ducks and hatch their eggs. I am about a year in with ducks in general but still consider myself a newbie. I currently have a pair of American fawn and whites. I originally got them because they were just too good of a deal to pass up, but now that I have...

    Good morning! I had 7 chicks hatch over night. I am a little nervous about the eggs rolling around they were. I still have 2 duck babies that have yet to hatch they are both moving just taking their sweet time. One of the babies that still had the yolk must have been picked on, or his little...

    Thank you. I will just join the waiting game now. I'm hoping this is a fluke and I don't have this happen again. It's been nerve wracking. The last 2 are cuddled up and sleeping. It just shocks me how strong they are even with everything going on. I'll have to give the corn starch a go, then I'm...

    Mine looks similar with the butt part. How long did it take it to absorb the yolk or did it fall off? They still have red blood vessels everywhere on it.

    Do you have an air hole or 2 open? I had to do that for mine when the humidity climbed. We also had 2 ducks that shrink wrapped and had to assist. They had the same type of air hole for 34 hrs and we could tell they were shrink wrapped and the membrane was too dry and starting to stick to them...

    My humidity was fine the entire time, but we had to help 2 of the ducks because they shrink wrapped. That was nerve wracking. We unzipped for them then pulled the inner men brain a little off from them and put a little warm water on the membrane and popped them back in the bator. They both...
