Nothing keeps tiny call ducks in but hardware cloth.

I Will tomorrow. This mama duck does not like me. She's mean!

It's nope complicated than this for me because mine can fly.

I had some hatch today too!

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/calls-and-cayugas-2020.1344080/post-22605361 I am apparently going to have to be a better duck parent somehow.

No.. Not really. Not without blocking access to food and water for one or the other. And I don't wanna put food and water in the house. They will just have to work it out.

There was no hatched egg shell around anywhere. They must have eaten it. They do that sometimes. Ivy continues to knock Maizee off of her nest and sits on her eggs with the ducklings. I found her sitting with Remi on her nest today. when I open the door Ivy got up and left with the ducklings...

Well... I have good news and bad news. Good news is I haven't lost my mind yet. Apparently that egg did hatch under Remi and I did not catch it in time. It must have ventured out on its own and got bullied. I found a dead duckling at the bottom of the tank. 🙄😢 The original 5 are all still...

Broody dust is in the air now! There's no stopping them! Never heard a duck hiss? :eek: Normally mine hiss and huff. Not cry like Pinball did.

Yeah... Maybe a more responsible duck parent would do that. :oops: But I have also found in the past that messing with their nest too much can also cause problems. Especially with the ones that are new to sitting. I just have too much to do keeping it clean and keeping everyone fed and watered...

One of the non broody ducks trying to stay out of all the broody business 🤣

I must be losing it. I would have sworn on a stack of Bibles I saw an egg last night under Remi that had two external pips in it! I went out to check on the situation today and there are actually more eggs under her then I counted last night. . No sign of a hatching egg.. empty shell.. duckling...

I have so much broody drama going on. Ivy, the duck that just hatched ducklings obviously wants more. She keeps kicking poor Maizee off of her nest and trying to sit on her eggs with the ducklings. :he Remi started sitting around the same time ivy did So I thought she would have some ling's...

I can't see the pictures 😔

I was getting texts right and left from people wanting call ducks last summer and fall I could not hatch enough! If I wind up with a bunch of extra Drakes I will process and eat those. :oops:

Btw I have never heard a duck cry quite like that. I'd have given in too. But... I'm easy💁😂😂😂

You think you got broody business goin on...holy smokes the broody dust hit hard at my place. 7 on nests now and one clutch is hatching right now that I didn't expect for a few more days yet 🤦 Just a sample..
