    Broody hen pecked pipping duck egg.

    They are progressing almost identicle. They are now about an hour further than in this pic. The yellow on the towel is not near that color live. Its actually from the brownish part of the membrane and the color is picked up by the red heat lamp.

    Broody hen pecked pipping duck egg.

    Oh and in all my reading and learning over night, I learned something I wish I had known 3 weeks ago. That if a broody hen is sitting on duck eggs, prepare to add humidity by spraying or spritzing them with water. The eggs I have come across so far have had the dried, crumpled paper look. That...

    Broody hen pecked pipping duck egg.

    Hey Caesargirl! Thanks for checking back. Unfortunately the baby didnt make it. Even worse I'm pretty sure its something I did.

The little thing seems to have gained some strength again and...

    Broody hen pecked pipping duck egg.

However, we didnt note the date (im still learning all this stuff) and have estimated the low end 28th day to yesterday. These are khaki Campbells.1 of...
