Gosh Josh...glad its your duck not me with that many babies to look after. ( I mena Human babies for me) She does look to be an alert and protective mother. Hope she cares for her brood well.

OH...You will also find they have a full page table- just on Runners- Very usefull when you have a mixed colour flock-

I have the Astons book on colour genetics- and it is just wonderful. Understanding it all was very difficult until I got this book. Its written in a way- that if you are a begginer - or long time breeder- you will gain lots of knowlegde- Tables that are clearly marked as well as as plenty of...

That first pipc is so cute..I ahcthed out quail in between my duck eggs- I thought they would be too small to brood together... That little one on his back- legs in the air in the first pic is gorgeous.

There has been a few... But surprisingly there isnt anything up the top in the stickies. Maybe doing a search for topics might be best.

They are just gorgeous... Well done. It was a little funny seeing them...I am so used to seeing my own incubator foam type...Seeing them in yours make them even cuter... It must be wonderful to be able to watch all the action through the clear sides...I only get the top view from mine.

Well done....What a great hatch you have had...Seeing pics of your babies will sure help cheer me up ( I know I have my own- and I can cuddle them - all night now- But I would still love to see your pics....) Little Jayden is home now- It was sad to do- but I kissed him when I took him out of...

Fantastic news...I am so happy for you..... When can we se some pics???? On a not so nice note...I just had the third phone call from the vet ...About Jayden..Sadly he passed away when she tried to wake him after have an anesthetic. Poor little guy... I was also told the joint was...

OMG...they are just so adorable....you waited this long to add those absolutely wonderful pics to this thread... What a wonderful selection of photos... Makes me want to try to grab them out from the computer screen and cuddle them...

How cute Josh - But sad about the one who didnt make it.. I sold some of my older ducklings today as well as two adults. One of them was one of the egg layers- and mother to the babies. I had to take them to work with me- She got to spend the day with them - and was very interested in...

Its incredible how fast they can upzip when they are desperate to get out of the egg... Come on number three.... I just got home from leaving Jayden at the vet...It will be such a long wait until I get a phone call about him tomorrow after she has seen him. I took the ostrich in for him as...

Some of them must be closer to hatching now quail kid 1 .... How are they going?????

Sorry to hear of the hatch Annarie. Its horrible to get them that far along and then loose them. I have had issues when I stagger hatches..A take the eggs out at day 25 to put into a seperate hatcher- and then think..OMG...these eggs are dry- so I up the humidity in the main incubator- then...

OH...and something else about Runners...I have noticed they are just a little different in the eggs than my pekins. The longer neck is the reason. They are still curled up the smae way- I have just noticed that they hatch a little differently. It can take them a little longer to start to work...

Yep...The last one just finally got away from the egg at about 4am this morning. It can take them a bit longer- but no reason why they cant still hatch. I usually do try and help them if they need it- but make sure they still have some work to do- as I believe that the hatching process is...

Have you been opening the bator at all???? I always give my eggs a mist with warm water before I close the lid if I absolutely must open it... I love seeing the beak and also when the yawn...its so adorable.

All 5 of mine are doing well after their first night all together. The last little one scared me for a while when it wouldnt open one of its eyes..But this morning its fine. I will be ringing my vet today to see what can be done for jayden. I want to do whatever I can for him. He is very...

They really test your patients....but it is SO worth it in the end. I am still waiting for the last one to completely leave the egg. At least tonight I wont have to get up at 3am to check on them.
