Call Ducks Finally Hatched

Pics
Date sort Score sort
Mary and Margaret have spent the last two days outside. I have been bringing them in at night. They are still wary of the rest of the flock. Since one is a duck and the other a chicken,( they are always together) They don't fit in with either group. I put water in a grain bowl for Mary, but the other ducks get it all dirty after a few minutes, so she needs a bath when she comes in for the night.

Hey maybe I should section off a place just for the young ones until they get adjusted. Yea! that's it.

Sometimes the eggs I collect are a little dirty. Might be duck poo I think. They don't develop if I set them like that, or even if I rinse them a bit. Should I throw those away? What about that egg wash you can get?

Liquid of any kind can push the bacteria into the shell. Eggs should never be washed. I haven't had a problem with mine developing even if they are dirty. The only ones that I've had issues with are the ones that 1 of my buff hen lays in the middle of the run, in direct sunlight, where it gets trampled by the others at times... crazy girl.

Really? I set dirty eggs all the time. They still develop.

Yup. I'm pretty sure they are from the Myakka City farm that closed down. I've tried getting eggs from that person, plus babies, lol. I jumped on that!!!

I was wanting to get some eggs from her. Saw that you might be going up that way and was thinking that it might be better hatching if they were picked up instead of being shipped and wondering if you would mind.
 
Does any one know where I can get CHEAP call eggs or ducklings? I have tried to hatch a about 30 eggs at like three diff times.
Any tips?

There are 3 of us here that sell call eggs for around $20 for 6+ eggs (myself, peachncrm37 and lacrystol). They can be difficult to hatch but it depends on where in the incubation process that you're running into difficulty. Would need more info in order to assist
