Ana and Elsa are getting so big!

Some pond pictures

Very sweet! How do your babies get into their pond? We have one of these tubs and we used it for our chocolate lab who passed away and she used people stairs. Now the tub is full of tadpoles so we're not going to do anything with it right now until they turn into frogs. I'd love to see a photo of how they get in.

They jump in by themselves. I use to lift them in, now they get in ad out by themself. I can't have the pond out Monday-Friday because I have a daycare ad would have to build a five foot fence around it, have a certain size of wire, alarms on my windows and then pray to god we built it to licensings standerds. It's insane. But the last two weekends they have been jumping in and out with no help

At some point when we have some money and time we will build an enclosure for it with a ramp so it's a little easier. It's the same regulations for foster care, so when were all ready to do foster care it will have to be gated in and I'll post pictures

This is my first time hatching ancona ducks and I am so confused about what the humidity should be during lockdown. I didn't have time to do a lot of research before hand as I am just hatching them as a rescue. I'm not even positive about the lock down date, but I feel it is pretty close. I feel bad about the way I'm doing this, but my Daisi finally sat on them for so long it hated to see them just die in their shells. Any help with other experiences would be appreciated!
