    My eggs both still have visible veins and movement when I candle them. No internal pips yet but I think they will soon. Also, the egg on the bottom has a tiny brown spot on it. I think the egg is still fine because I see veins and movement, but should I be worried? I’m almost completely sure...

    Mallards would also be a good option. They are super friendly.

    I want to raise ducks. How much space do I need to raise a flock of 10 and what do they require?

    I want to raise ducks. How much space do I need to raise a flock of 10 and what do they require?

    You’ll need a lot of space for them. About ten years ago I had 12 ducklings, and I started them off inside a big tote. Once they got bigger I made them a fenced in area for them in my yard. They are really messy, but having them in the yard eliminated some of the mess.

    I use a heat lamp that has a big clip on it. I clip it onto my ladder in our garage, and can adjust it closer or further away from the ducks in order to get the temperature right.

    Duck eggs not pipped yet- day 29

    I think your eggs will still most likely hatch. When I hatched a couple duck eggs it took over 24 hours to go from internal to external pip. Mine also did not move very much during the internal pip. I think that they get very tired and rest in between making very much movement. Hang in there, I...
