    My hatch is underway. 40 eggs in the bator and 9 hatched so far. Many more pipped. I'll be asking for help identifying colors. It promises to be a great hatch if only I could relax! The oldest hatchling hatched 24 hrs ago and they are all still in the bator. I believe I can leave them in...

    Border Collie puppy from working parents. Can't wait! :) I set 41 Indian Runner eggs on 3/28. Looking forward to seeing them hatch towards the end of April.

    My crew has new photos at: www.flickr.com/crawforddogs No close up of their new feathers though. The darker ducklings are coming in white and a dark chocolate color that seems to be mixed with some occasional white? Almost like they may end up mallard and white with runner pattern which is...

    So. . . ducklings are changing colors! The darker ones pictured are coming in with a dark chocolate color. The two paler ones are coming in completely white except for a bit of color (dark chocolate?) on heads. I will post photos but am amazed. What in the world did I produce?

    "Springing in the Chicks" 2016 April Hatch-a-Long Hosted by Mike & Sally

    I'm joining in. Surely my bad hatching Karma won't follow me into April? I'll be setting 41 eggs in just a couple days when I have enough eggs. I'll be heating up the bator and getting it set on the correct temp. tomorrow. I need 9 hen ducklings so I can stop playing with the incubator. ...

    The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

    I had an issue with bacteria and temps were about 1 F to low. In order to join in the Easter hatch-a-long I did a staggered hatch which was a disaster. The 1st set of hatchlings introduced lots of bacteria and eventually killed the other fetuses. Only 5 ducklings survived hatch. 2 died...

    I want to do this contest. However do you just enter a photo when they hatch in April or what? I'm a newbie and confused. .

    Comment by 'Gone-Quackers' in article 'Herding ducks & developing routines'

    I used to herd ducks myself as a kid. Now I have a dog who does it for me. He moves his ducks very quietly and is quite patient with them when needed. Quite honestly he doesn't think I can put the ducks away by myself at night. :)

    I must not have apricot then as she doesn't have eye stripes. She's runner pattern but with a funky color that isn't fawn. I may track her down and take a photo of her. . or not. I think she might be the drakes favorite as she seems very harassed and annoyed lately. Perhaps she'll be getting...

    Not sure which photo you are talking about but yes I do have 1 blue hen, 1 mallard hen, and 1 apricot hen along with various other colors. I rarely photograph the adult ducks as none of them are used to people so it's a bit of a downer to get nice photos. All the ducklings I have do have...

    Thanks for the info. Just have to wait a few weeks and see. What do trout ducklings look like? Blue ducklings? Apricots?

    My first batch of runners hatched and I'm debating on color. Two of them are obviously fawn/white. The other 3 are definintely not. One of them has a pink beak. Not slightly pink either, it's really pink with no orange/yellow at all! The drakes are fawn/white, hens are: fawn/white...

    Late Feburary-Early March 2016 Hatch-A-Long!

    5 Indian runner ducklings have hatched! They appear to be fawn/white, blue trout, and apricot trout. Of course, I could be wrong. Photos up at: http://www.flickr.com/crawforddogs And. . 4 eggs left that may or may not hatch. I think they may have all died when my incubator's...

    Pricing Hatching Eggs

    I've been selling Indian runner hatching eggs locally for $10/dozen. They are selling like hot cakes. Am I pricing them too low? What pricing is common? I live in Iowa.
