We have eight new little ducklings!!!

That's adorable! How many days old are they?

I usually take them out the day after they hatch, but only for a minute. Be very gentle with them, they are quite fragile at that age. If the parents are scared of you it might stress them a little, but no more than if you walked by and they flew off. Handling a baby won't make the parents...

Awwwww! I LOVE those feathers!

We candled our 17 duck eggs in a still air Little Giant incubator, and it looks like some of the eggs are internally pipped already. In a few hours it will be day 24. Is it too early too put them into lockdown if they are already starting to pip? ETA: I was wrong, it's actually a few hours...

Sounds like you have researched a lot and have great plans! Well, if you handle their children you could get some cuddlers! And eventually I'm sure these ones will get used to you.

Aww exciting!!! Hopefully LOTS of ducklings! I'll look forward to seeing them!

Okay, if you spend lots of time in there with them they will tame quickly! They must be eating then! As someone else said though it's best to give them regulated meals. When they are older they will probably use the perches more.

Hi! It might be a good idea to give them some warm-ish water to swim in, but definitely supervise them as you said. And then make sure they get warmed up and dry off. Do you have any Save-a-chick?

Here too!

Sounds good! It is pretty nice, just a little flat. Are the babies settling into their new home well?

Oh sorry, I'll stop posting! Practice makes perfect I guess! Your welcome!

Congratulations!!! Awww! I love their colors! You've done great, I've learned a lot reading through this thread. I hope you will start a "Hatching Duck Eggs... I did great!"

Okay! I suppose eventually you can always add on to fit more pigeons! It sounds like it could probably hold 12! Awesome! I'm in Western Minnesota.

Will it fit that many? It looks very nice! Where are you located?

Congratulations on being a pigeon owner! They are beautiful and look healthy! And it looks like you made them a nice place to live. I hope they turn out to be great breeders and racers!

Wow, they are pretty! I love the one on the right with a bib and black speckles! Awwww! Are some of them blue?

Thank you!

Oh cute! I can't wait to see them!

Okay thanks! I'll look for it.
