10 Calls hatched, they are done...

6 Ohiki so far, they will get another day due to low temp in their bator...

So happy for you!

That is awesome and he is pretty!!!

Sounds like runners to me... @TJChickens has runners, I think... might be able to show you a pic to compare?

Research ducks before you decide to get them... it's best to get ones that suit you well... I adore Calls, but they are a bantam duck, fly extremely well and are a much easier target for predators than the larger ducks... plus hatching those is harder too, lol...

A bit behind the curve here, but here's pictures of my Runners.....

My final chick made it out after getting assistance. Looks weak - but I guess that's to be expected with the required assistance.

I chatted with my husband - and he too missed the ventilator plug for ventilation! We read/studied a bunch and missed it completely - I hope to do another hatch when my dark-egg laying hens stop molting. Hopeful for better success next time!

I knew it was you that had Runners! Are they fliers or no? I haven't looked into those, lol... @Pensmaster do those ducks look kinda like these?

Fantastic!! What are you going to do with all those ducks?

If my OH has his way, keep them all! lol... We'll grow them out then evaluate them and sell some... got many around us that want Calls...

I have leave both plugs in my incubator, often- for the entire hatch, and have still had good hatch rates. I sometimes have to leave them in to keep the humidity in check, especially this time of the year. We heat with a wood stove, and its very dry in my house right now. I left both plugs in this entire hatch. 15 made it lockdown and 14 hatched. I do have my incubator I use for hatching elevated though (its got a milk cap under each corner) so the bottom vent holes aren't obstructed...
