➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Don't think their fertile? Didn't they just start laying? Have you jumped the gun, kiks?

Some that I have cracked open have been fertile.
I could swear I am seeing a bullseye in some.
Looks like I have 3 brand new layers.
I am getting a whole 2 eggs everyday and 3 eggs on only two days.

I just checked two eggs in the bator and nada...I am not seeing anything.
I'm still going to leave them in though...just in case but I really really don't think any are developing.

Hmmm, well. I still think it's super crazy that they lay 8 WEEKS after they hatch. Blows my mind.

It’s really hard to tell when they are all quacking and excited! Lol

Can you pick them up? Sometimes it’s a little more evident when you hold them, especially the girls will quack wanting down. Hold them out away from your body, if you can.

That's what I tried doing when they were younger. I will try again tomorrow or over the weekend. See if I can get more definitive results. I have been gone for most of the evening and just got in. Thx so much.

I think you've got three drakes and three hens. Noah, Gomer and Forrest are your drakes. Forrest did a little male action zoomey and head fluff around the pool at the beginning of your cute video. I've only seen drakes do this... usually after getting a little action. Plus, the three boys all lined up at the end chattering over each other. Typical males
I think Goober is a hen. Least I hope she is!

Thx. I will try to do the pick them up so they will quack to want down thing, either tomorrow or some time over the weekend, to see if I can possibly get a more definitive indication of who is male and who is female. See if that can help me. Thx for your opinion!

I just opened a few eggs in my bator.
They weren't even fertile!

Maybe that male you have is a lemon. You only have the one male left?

That'll definitely help determine their voices
Which boy is your favorite?
