    TSC Duckling Identification

    Duckling #1 looks a lot like a khaki/pekin hybrid. Hubby hatched out some last December and 2 looked just like that.

    Duck lessons

    I learned that there's a major difference between collecting chicken eggs and duck eggs. Chickens will lay in the same place. Ducks? Seek and find! I am convinced they plan on who will lay where overnight. Then laugh while I go to every corner and pile of leaves knowing they will hear me say...

    :ya:celebrate:wee WOO-HOO 🙌 The girls are open for business! We've had our 4 khaki hens for 3 years and this was the first time everyone stopped production for almost 3 months.:barnieDid not expect this in central Florida. (In the meantime, our Pekin hen never stopped.) Incubator is keyed in and...

    They were fully developed. It wasn't a total loss. Two hatched before sunrise yesterday. :jumpy:jumpy

    Not that I'm aware of. There was an unexpected rise in humidity.:th

    That makes complete sense with the float test. Considering these eggs had a rough journey via USPS, I suspect they may not have made it. :idunno

    Pictures of the eggs. None have externally pipped.

    Just not sure what to do . . .

    I used 3 thermometers and a hydrometer. All were calibrated. None have externally pipped. After much thought and my husband's input we decided not to float. I will be candling later this evening and will post pictures. I've been thinking about making an air hole just in case, but I'll wait...

    How long can i leave my eggs

    I'm more anxious and concerned than in a hurry. Thank you so much for responding. Is it possible that they are still ok even though they are not moving?

    How long can i leave my eggs

    Really? What if there is no movement? I have 8 remaining out of 10 khaki campbell eggs. Two hatched over 24 hours ago. I candled them and 1 appears to still have red blood vessels but the others have dark vessels. Air sacks are saddled due to them being shipped eggs. I have them on their sides...

    Ducks

    If eggs are what you need I recommend khaki campbells or golden 300's.

    I need silkies in my life! :bow

    Just not sure what to do . . .

    I'm pretty sure they have pipped internally. I will not float. There is no movement and the blood vessels I could see are no longer red.

    Chick stuck in egg

    It takes a couple of days for them to get their legs under them. Wait until day 3. I leave them in the incubator for 2 days. (Most people leave them in for 3 days.) By then, they're fluffy and walking better.

    Just not sure what to do . . .

    Of the 2 that hatched, one was sticky. The yellow color. So, I suspect she was an older egg. She is also definitely NOT a khaki. Reached out to the seller and she's sending more eggs-no charge. She believes the baby may be a Golden 300. So, of the 12 we ordered we received 18. After resting them...

    Just not sure what to do . . .

    Started incubating shipped khaki eggs 30 days ago. Two hatched yesterday. There are 8 left. First time incubating shipped eggs and poured over all the info I could find within this amazing forum. Followed instructions from letting them rest to marking the air pockets. Yep. Pretty serious saddled...

    Can an owl carry off a grown duck?

    We lost one of our khaki campbell hens last summer to a flying predator just before sunrise. We searched for her and only found one feather. Recently, my husband went out in the evening to check on our flock and spotted an owl sitting on top of their pen! :barnie:eek: Everyone wasn't safe...
