Newest duckling. also had another pekin hatch but not looking good. Its the first pipper, finally hatched dry gunk and sticky gunk all over it, I also see intestines poking out

I have a fresh duckling. It looks dark and has a yellow bill so that would be one of the Pekin/khaki mixes. so far one of each and a mix

They are so cute! I love naked necks. I have a little cross breed bantam NN cockerel, I can't wait for him to mature so I can make more

little duckies have been named Choccy and Milk by the kids. I'm hoping we get more but really thankful we got at least 2. I think incubating and hatching upright worked a lot better, last time I tried shipped eggs with such bad air cells we got 0

Two ducks have hatched!! a Pekin and a Khaki Campbell. One duck has pipped and started making a whole but is struggling, looking dry despite the other two hatching without issues

200 for this dozen plus 35 postage. First time seeing Sultan for sale so jumped for it, fingers crossed for pullets or at least one pullet (bet both will be cockerels)

Took the two chicks out and candled the other 4. Not looking good. 3 quitters and one questionable. Most expensive chicks ever, works out $100 per chick (plus postage) 😖 One ducklings working on its way out and 3 others are pipped

sometimes I can hear them but if I use an incubator with clear plastic sides or top I can use my strong little flashlight and point it at an egg from outside and light up the air cell, I saw two with their little bills in the air cell. I just went to check again and no external pips on the...

2 of my ducks have internally pipped :celebrate

eggs are going into lockdown tonight. sadly two Sultan have recently quit so 6 eggs left. the duck eggs are still going well, I will be hatching them upright

Here is a link to a survey done. https://rarebreedstrust.com.au/public/pages/poultry We dont have large scale hatcheries so if you want anything other than production hybrids you need to find breeders. The numbers are what was recorded so could be higher but it shows what breeds are less...

Candled my Sultan eggs 6 or 7 out of the dozen look good. Ducks still all look OK.

Just candled my ducks eggs, all remaining eggs are developing! I still don't like their air cells so it looks like I'll be hatching those upright

My Sultan eggs arrived today. They were packaged really well and all came intact, only a few have wobbly air cells. Peeked at the duck eggs and happy to report some are showing signs of development. Air cells are really bad so it's a wait and see if they make it to hatch day.

Turns out 18 eggs were broken. One had to be removed from the incubator after a day due to what looked like leackage coming from the egg

Looks like I'll be lucky to get any ducklings.15 were completely broken and some the yolks were busted everywhere, 1 had a crack that I could possibly repair but not worth the risk since there was egg all over it. air cells are all in really bad shape in the remaining 20.

As always I can't help myself. I had the opportunity to get a dozen Sultan eggs and jumped right on them! here in Australia they are classed as critical, only 55 breeding birds were recorded this year on the rare poultry trust list (total numbers unknown). I think these will be the most...

Anyone else planning on hatching this December? I purchased 3 dozen duck eggs that will arrive in a few days so will hatch the second week of December. They are Pekin, Khaki Campbell and some mixes of the two. Pretty sure thats all I'll be doing since I have a ton of chicks plus new goslings
