Hi! Would you recommend adding anything to the duck starter at any point? And how long do you recommend they stay on that until regular layer?

I see! Someone’s says- that was 60+ days ago- WASH YOUR HANDS! (@Kiki’s to be exact). && A few others sounded cute/custom as well. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was thinking why the heck does it say in the brooder? My ducks haven’t hatched yet? :gig

Yes! I thought so after I stated reading a few others and they were the same as mine- however I are there some that are custom because they are premium member?

Would you happen to know why under my avatar it says, “in the brooder” and how I can fix that/maybe say something else? I am super tech savvy and feel like a moron trying to figure out how this site works!!! :he :gig

I posted pictures! But I have to get “replying” to the right post down, so it alerts the person I’m trying to post to! Lol.

So the air sacs should get even larger and the duck will fill the egg completely up to the air sac so when candling, I will only see air sac and black and that will be my key to going on lockdown- stop turning, damp humidity, etc., correct? I think I’m ready, I’m just scared that maybe I didn’t...

I was thinking between 18&22!! So I’m good with 19!! Thank you!

I posted pictures of them being candled. I will try and get better ones. Thank you for taking time out of your day to respond to me :yesss:

I believe I got some good ones between (2) different eggs out of the 10 I have. I took some for air sac size and some for the actual candling inside the egg, so hopefully this helps!

I will post pictures of candling at noon- from my perspective, when I candle (aside from the space taken up from the air sac) there is only about 1/4” worth of space that is veins/membrane/fluid, etc., below the air sac at its highest point, at the lowest point, it’s probably about 1/2”. I can...

I will post photos at noon- when I have access to another phone to use cameraflashlight for pictures/candling. Is this correct for the first few weeks of their lives? Pictured is Duck Starter Grower, Chick Grit, 1qt. Water bowl, 1qt. Food bowl, and aspen pet bedding. Do I need anything more...

Okay great!! I will post around noon! My phone flashlight works better than the others I have, but I need the phone to take the pictures, so I will have access to a second phone about noon! In the meantime, is there anything I should/could be doing differently? Thank you for getting back to me!

I noticed a mallard duck in my front yard garden over a period of almost a week and found her nest. About 2:30 AM on 04-06-2020, Mama Duck was taken by a fox- it was COLD & raining, so I scooped up the eggs, googled how to hatch without a “broody duck”, made a cardboard box bator (tin foiled...
