Hello, I currently have a black Sussex sitting on 8 duck eggs which are three breeds: calls, east Indies & miniature silver appleyards. I just wondered if anyone had alot of luck hatching out these breeds? I'm only asking just to reasure myself as I really wanted these breeds for ages.
I had a bantam that hatched out 2 ducks. when the ducks grew up they alway acknowledged the hen with respect.
You have me the idea to get a hen to brood my duck eggs instead of a Muscovy! they take up les space and are cleaner. lol is this common to have a hen brood ducklings?
Hello, We had muscovies and they hatched 2 out of four eggs and did make quite good mums however many people I know prefer hatching ducklings under a broody chicken and say they're more reliable than ducks with sitting
