The Broody Duck Thread for 2014
Thank you. I was surprised at the variety as my ducks are mostly blues and splashes, but my first two Runners were a Saxony colored pair from Holderreads, a color which they were not longer planning to breed for. Every now and then a slight 'wild' duck eye marking shows through. Both the... -

The Broody Duck Thread for 2014
My husband was mugged and robbed in South Africa this morning and he is in the hospital there, very badly beaten up and confused. I've been on the phone all day trying to help from far away. Thank goodness he has two very good friends there helping him get good medical care and negotiating the... -
The Broody Duck Thread for 2014
Took a quick peek at the eggs tonight. There are three where the pips have turned to holes and I hear peeping. I don't see any zipping yet. I didn't touch or move any of the eggs at this point so there is likely more going on than I could see. I scurried away to leave 'mom' in peace. Will... -

Thanks. Maybe I'll spray it one more time before we all turn in for the night and then hope for the best in the morning. Won't get my hopes up, but felt I could maybe give the duckling a little bit of a chance. -
The Broody Duck Thread for 2014
Hey Miss Lydia -- any chance that you are out there? Your recent suggestions were very helpful, but now I need a little more support. I had decided I was wrong about the pipped egg as I really didn't think they were due to hatch until next week. And it wasn't typical looking. It turns out I... -
The Broody Duck Thread for 2014
Haven't been here for quite awhile, but thought I would jump on this thread as we may have runner ducklings hatching in a few days. Have avoided hatching for a few years because too much else was going on, but lost my favorite ducks over the past year (I hope from old age as both appeared to...
