    Mama tossing eggs

    They are doing ok. Had a total of four ducklings hatch but unfortunately my drake killed one so now he is in a separate run from mamas and babies.

    I absorbed yolk?

    This egg was probably 2 days earlier than the others. It is hard to tell because I had two mamas and they laid a week apart. They also switched eggs between their nests. He is in an incubator with a wet cloth now. Thank you so much!

    Help with duckling

    As soon as I opened the door the mama quacked like she always does and the duckling peeped over and over so I think she recognized her mama. I went over and set the duckling down by mama and she took it under her wing. Yay!! I’ve been keeping an eye on them just to be sure.

    Two mama ducks

    I don’t but will locate one. She is just sitting on the nest with the other mama. I thought about taking the eggs and putting them in the one nest that they are both sitting on. Would that work?
