I have been looking in every day hoping to see photos... In the mean time...my next hatch have started. I am hoping to wake in the morning to see the first of them hatched and wobbling about the incubator.

Glad you are getting more babies to hatch Ducky. MY runners as best i can tell are on strike and not laying right now so I will be waiting a while for more babies.

Thought I might ask something... it's not about ducks. Sorry!

Do sex-link chickens go broody?

Hi there Geese11

Hope the weather over there is better than here in Victoria. It must have been snowing in the mountains today it was so cold here.

Satay- they are gorgeous!!! A few of mine are out- 2 so far. And I have a little dark one. I was surprised to see it hatched from my girls as I thought only 3 three older drakes were the ones likely to be daddies here for a while longer. I will have to get to work finishing of the breeder pens so i can keep track of who is with who.
Lovely colours in those babies. And the proud mom looks lovely too.

From my experience no . I have never had one go broody. I have many other breeds that are way over broody if anything so mine even themselves out.

Looks like the hatching bug has hit me again lol. I have found a lady out at Grantham that has beautiful Australorps and RIRS so I am going out to get a dozen of each for the bator on Saturday ...as you do lol.
