Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[clousert]

I'm going crazy. The 3 that are due to hatch Saturday keep rocking every once in a while. These are my first ducks. Is that normal I'm guessing?

Yes, that's normal. The babies are getting themselves into position to come out

That's soooooo good, they are wiggling because they are getting antsy and want out, now don't be surprise if tomorrow there's absolutely no movements what so ever... That will be there day of rest lol..

Sounds like your little babies are getting into to position to break out of jail....

Very excited! Day 28 is Saturday. I'm just so glad that my little white out duck is alive, ha!! They were rocking yesterday too. It's increased a bit today. I think I set them at night but not positive. Either way I'll post pictures!!

What kind of ducks

That's going to be tough because without actually knowing what kind of duck, how can you determine the due date?? some ducks take 26. some take 28. some 30, some 33. All depend on the breed in order to determine the number of days and from what I'm reading those ducks that you listed, all have different amount of days to hatch. Well there is only one way you can do this in order to be safe.. Apparently, that's where I come in. LOL

I was in this situation once, the neighbor kids brought me some mallard eggs, they had no clue how old they were but apparently the mother got killed by a preditor. Well needless to say I didn't have a lockdown date so I had to wing it.

Results, they hatched, it was done by candling and guessing on the due date.

They are all rocking so they will hatch soon according to everyone else in this thread.

OK, if they are rocking that means they are still alive, good sign, now once they stop rocking, get ready!!
