    Call Ducklings

    I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I appreciate your interest, but i don't ship. I'm sorry. I've just heard about too many post office accidents that result in dead birds. It scares me.

    Muscovy hatching duck *and* chicken eggs

    I once had a duck hatch chicken eggs! It doesn't work quit as well as a chicken hatching duck eggs. But a few chicken eggs did hatch. They attempted to follow the mom and the other ducklings around and within minutes got stuck in the mud! I had to rescue them and give them a bath. After...

    questions so many questions

    Sometimes ducks are wonderful pets and sometimes they aren't. If you want a really devoted pet duck, i'd try raising one at a time. That way it will imprint on you. But this is a big responsibility because they get upset every time you go away. They are social creatures. But in terms of...

    Duckling out of the brooder/ add to flock?

    I would wait until she gets some adult feathers, or until she is at least close in size to the other birds. Hopefully, by that point, she won't get picked on.

    Day 21 no chicks yet

    A period of lower temperature may have delayed them. Late hatches are often due to a low incubation temperature. Don't give up hope yet! Good luck!

    What will my duckling look like?

    That's a picture of your duckling? It's hard to believe that's a Pekin/Campbell cross. It's too dark. It looks more like a Rouen or a mallard. That color is called Gray. Regardless of what it's parents were, a duckling that color will most likely have Gray markings, like a Rouen or a...

    Hand-turning vs. auto-turning

    I've never had a problem with hand turning. Turn 3xs a day. But auto-turners certainly save time!

    Can you hatch duck & chicken eggs together under a broody chicken?

    I've done it before. Just make sure and take away the first babies that hatch right away so that the hen will continue incubating the eggs that are still developing (the chicks would hatch first if you put the eggs under the hen at the same time). After a couple days with babies under her...

    Why is there Air Space?

    The air cell in duck eggs gets larger as the incubation progresses. By the last couple days of incubation, the air cell is much larger then an air cell of a fresh egg. About 2 days before a duck eggs is due to hatch, the duckling will puncture the air cell membrane and start pecking at the...

    Keeping 2 drakelets and 1 duck together?

    I would say that is not the ideal ratio of males to females. Try to get more females. Whether or not this ratio causes severe problems depends on the individual birds. I would say not to worry about until the ducks start breeding. Depending on how old they are now, this might not happen...
