should have added: she won't eat much the first day if at all but if you've made the mash and shown her where it is she'll get the idea. Ducks are very smart :-) Michelle

I always mix the feed with warm water the first few days, I also smear a bit on the side of the brooder. Nibbling on you is one of the precious things they do, they do it to mamma duck as well :-) Mine are 12 weeks old and all still nibble on me, I love it LOL Once you mix warm water in her...

Oh Miss Lydia that's wonderful news!!!!!!!!! I'm tickled to bits for you Hon! Now get some photos up so we can all adore the little one with you :-) Michelle

Oh Miss Lydia, you can do it!! Give the baby a little mirror if you have one, he/she will use it as a friend when he/she can't be in your hands or by your side. Was the other egg supposed to hatch the same time as this one that has already hatched? The baby might be trying to hatch but...

Hmmm I honestly don't know. I've had a Jumbo Pekin Hen do that but Pekins aren't famous for hatching out babies anyway. I'd just keep an eye on her in case you have to run that last egg to your Chicken as well. My Buff Orpington chickens are like that too, they'll accept any babies anytime...

Congratulations Teri!!! Can't wait to hear all about the hatch and see your new babies. Michelle

Thank you Ladies, Ya'll have been so sweet holding my hand through this...nobody else understands. Woohooooooooo Miss Lydia, congratulations on the new babies ...can't wait to see photos of them. Yes Ma'am, I agree, Scovies are the sweetest ducks ever!! Michelle

thanks Hon, it's the hardest part of loving ducks. Michelle

I'm afraid not :-( She's been gone since Jan.21st so I'm feeling that I will never see my girl again. I think she went off looking for a fella and either found a new home or something got her *shudder* She used to flirt with my Mallard Drake like crazy but he would never top her, in fact he...

Well Suzie, I'll get the guestroom ready for you :-) I still have hope ( and a head of 3/4 gray hairs now LOL) that she'll still come home. I wish I had a mate for her here, she may not have ever flown off if I did. dkvart1...that's what I'm counting on..that she'll just show up like...

She's been gone for 55 days now :-(

Still no Scooter My Husband is sure something got her but like I keep telling him she was with the other ducks in the yard, fifteen minutes later she was gone and the other ducks were still in the same spot, I figure if a predator had come up the other ducks would have been hiding. Not to...

Birdcrazy, I'm so glad they found her!! A friend of our's that lives 5 miles away said she saw a white duck out on her pond with her Geese so we drove over there with binoculars, peas and a travel crate. When we first pulled up and I saw a white bird out there my heart just started pounding...

You're right, everytime I step outside I can't help but look around and holler her name...the Mother in me just can't give up LOL I hope she brings a boatload of babies home, as far as I'm concerned there's no such thing as too many Scovies ;-) My Husband might "think" differently but my...

Still no Scooter girl I still go out looking for her, calling her but nothing...I tell myself to stop looking and she'll probably show up and surprise me but with so much time passing:idunno I have some Muscovy eggs coming from Bleenie this week so thankfully I'll have more scovies..I won't...

LOL I'm turning grey right along with you Gals ;-) Michelle

She's been gone 38 days as of 2 hours ago...I just got in from wandering through the woods and the pasture calling her name and nothing today Michelle

Thank you for sharing your story Cocoa and Welcome to BYC!! I'm holding onto hope for Scooter, I incubated her egg in the house until she pipped, then slipped her under my broody Pekin and laid in the duck house with her most of that day...I feel like she's my baby girl, ya know? As a...

Aww that is so sweet of you Hon, thank you, I still choke up when I think I might never see her again..you folks are the only ones that understand. Michelle

I'm hoping too...still no sign of my girl. I've been spending a lot of time outside lately (pretty much from sunup to sundown) with hopes of seeing her come home. c'mon Scooter, Mamma misses you so much!!!!!!!!!!!! Michelle
