I have tons of babies pippin' and zippin' over here!
Most were in my brinsea for 18 days, now they're all in the Genesis and doing great!
It's like popcorn poppin'

. well maybe that isn't the best emoticon to use for chicks popping like popcorn lol!

Woo Hoo!!!

flattery will get you everywhere!!! 
But duck expert, I'm not so sure about. They did turn out very nice for a first time hatching them.
I need more pics 

I have a few, but they went today to live with a woman building  up a scovy flock. She  is getting  other females, so she has room for the possible 3 drakes in there ( it was 2/2 and who knows on the third)  Since she was keeping them ALL and had a huge pond and a  safe duck run, I let her have them.  My girls almost started sitting, but then  Pumpkins ran them off the nest. Im going to bait their coop with eggs and see what happens.

mario has a picture of me carrying them outside Saturday for the last sunshine bathing in the yard!

Sounds like a nice home! I was thinking about donating my scovy ducklings to FFA. I'm not positive, but I think 7 of 9 are male, lol.

Are you going to do more marans or should I try and torture you again with more ducks and seremas?

Oh no more ducks for me. they were torture, haha! Upside down and turned around they were. But it was probably my  methods that messed all that up.

I have coming from Ron some eggs: penedesenca , U of A's and some crosses

Then I have from Papa brooder: Jubilee Orp and CL eggs.

So I'll be full for a while, but when space opens up I can do some seramas.  Just no ducks. Ever. Again…..Of course next season I may change my mind   

My Muscovy hatching was the same... All malpositioned, shrink wrapped, etc. , makes hatching peafowl look easy!

Does anyone close to me have a duck (a girl one), that I could come play with? I'm trying to make Chiqita some duck saddles, and so the pattern is a little different than for a chicken. It would be easier if I could actually look at a real one. (I know, It's weird that I've never been close to a real duck, I've seen them at the park, but never close up).

Ducks really need something that protects their head and neck.
