It's been awhile since I've posted here....
Update. Was hoping 'donut' was a boy, but now I'm not so sure
Seriously been blessed with an almost all white duck tho!
@Miss Lydia new homes! it was so sad to have them all go, but my house is way too small to accommodate 13 ducks lol.
Mama duck is laying again tho!
I have a question tho, is there a possibility that a duck just can't hatch her eggs? I mean this is only the second time, but my other female...
Guess who's duck eggs finally hatched
The first little one out of 13!
I've got a ton of questions......
What do they eat? Aren't they cold or will mama duck keep them warm?
Help!! Lol
Question! It's almost time for the eggs to hatch..... Anything I should do to prepare? Is the mom going to be the one giving them food? Are they just going to be walking right away....or staying in the cage to dry up? (Sorry I don't know)
@Miss Lydia
Your poor drake! I bet! thank goodness he didn't! Such a good thing you found him and came to his rescue. My Walshi thinks he's so fearless.... I find him flying on top of high place and hissing like he's king of the world he's just lonely now that my girls are dedicated mama's...
I just saw the saddest thing ever..... So as I was walking to fill up my ducks water bowl, there was an egg on the floor. (Mind you, this is far from the nest) as I walked closer, I saw it in a puddle of yolk, and a little red looking duckling (fetus?)
What's getting me is how did it stray so...
I'm so worried about candling!! It's like my ducks never leave to get food/water.... They're both already traumatized I moved the nest and handled their eggs (I didn't want them to get wet anymore from the harsh weather we've been having lately )
They really hate me now. lol
I have to get my drakes wings clipped....he's having too much fun exploring by himself, while the two girls are nesting. Who knows what he'll get himself into next
And no, I only have ducks in my yard. It's day day 13!
