My phone is dead. Once I get it charged ill take pictures of the little guys in their calcium prisons.

I realized yesterday (Tuesday 10/06) that the ducklings have hatched on 09/08 not on 09/01 - i had planned to order from the 9/1 hatch but missed the deadline…
Anyways they were exactly four weeks old yesterday! One Month and they almost look like Ducks! Just the wings are a little too short and (@Mimi13) as far as i can hear they are all quaxing.
Here they are on their pasture:

Those babies are precious. And those WV mountains are gorgeous. Some of the prettiest land I’ve seen.

What are you gonna do with all those eggs?

I candled this morning and they are all full. So no pictures. The bator says 10 days left but I think these might come early. Since its fall ive had better luck controlling the humidity. developing nice air sacks.

I have secured a huge duck-egg sink: The Asian Supermarket in South Charleston which is permanently asking for more eggs.

How did you secure it. By Christmas I will have 10 laying ducks.

Just drive to an Asian Market and speak to the owner. Ask if they are interested in selling your duck's eggs and negotiate a price. - Just looked at Google Maps, you're actually somewhat far away from all the Asian stores, i remember the Thang Hung Market on Gears Road was selling Duck Eggs as well as balut when we lived in that area. They were selling ½ dozen eggs for $8. (!!!) I had asked there, because my wife wanted duck eggs…
