My calls are hatching!! Boy they are a lot of work!! But soooo freakin' cute. I posted pics on the March Hatchalong thread.

I know exactly how you feel! We've had terrible luck with shipping this Spring. Our first chick order arrived all dead. It was awful. The hatchery shippped again and we lost half of them on the way. I was horrified.

I tried a different hatchery for our turkeys and had the same nasty experience. 15 shipped and one alive.

I'm wishing I had ordered eggs BUT I haven't had very good luck hatching in the incubator either. I'm waiting on a broody hen in my flock!
 
Here are my latest 6 call babies. Its weird as I know they came from the same mom and dad, and none look the same... Ive got a huge variety of colors. Kinda good and bad for me.. Im gonna keep them all to see what they turn out looking like.. Then hopefully I can find good homes for the ones im not gonna keep..
I stuck them in the tub while I cleaned their pens..They had a blast.

The one in the middle.. any idea on color??

How do you guys get your Call ducks to start laying eggs? Mine laid 9 eggs and then stopped. I have had a heat lamp on them and they also have plenty of swimming water. Any suggestions??
