Update: Was able to grab a few different eggs from the nest and none are showing development, so glad there won’t be winter babies. She came back and I’ll take them if she leaves again
So when my husband say “oh great, maybe now we’ll get some ducks” he clearly means I need to hatch at least some… Now where to set up the incubator and figure out if we can find a place for the brooder again
I’m not sure how viable they are, they feel a bit cool to the touch. We have nowhere to put them either! Posting in a local group to see if anyone would want them if I do incubate (successfully obvs). She’s easily bribed by the mere crinkle of the feed bag still
Our neighbours duck is sitting on her FOURTH batch of eggs this year, night by our doorstep again… None of her babies have survived to adulthood and quickly get killed. My first incubator just arrived and I’m exerting my utmost will not to go snatch some eggs from Madame Hissy 😂
