Blue Swidish Clutch close to hatching

[robbyvg]

Out of 9 eggs I lost 2 within the first 2 weeks but the remaining 7 are beautiful and upon candling are active and growing. Day 20.

I ordered 8 eggs from Metzer Farms - they gave me 10. 1 broke in transit. The rest were very viable and continue to be. Out of 8 ordered (and 10 delivered) I have 7 beautiful and viable ducklings. As I approach lockdown with these babies I will take all the advice I can get.

The best advise, just be patient! I think a lot of people get impatient because ducks take FOREVER to hatch so they assist hatching when it isn’t necessary. Let them do their thing!

I'm so excited for you! I have a blue swedish and love her. Her name is Anka (duck in swedish) and she guards her littler blue Runner sister from the mean chickens.

Sound advice. Patience will win the day! Thank you.

That's what I love about ducks. They can be so very protective of their flock mates and show amazing intelligence at times. And of course, I love them because they are hilarious and cute! Also, eggs and bug control are great too

They are incredibly hilarious. My first duck has a very strong personality and she makes my dog run away when she is on a mission.
