Hi Peach
All last year I tried shipped eggs. I only came close to hatching them. I have 50 eggs in my incubators right now. Next Wed. I should have 10 hatching, then 20 a week after that. My ducks went crazy. I also have one duck sitting on about 20 eggs.
I don't know what colors you are looking for, but with my new drakes I should have lots of colors. If the weather is right, I think ducklings can be sent safely about 2 weeks old. I will post pictures and you can pick some out.
My spotted duck, is still spotted. She is real cute. I named her Mary. I will post a recent picture of her. The others were just dead the next morning. I don't know why. How is your spotted duck doing. If you get the colors you want, you won't have to hatch shipped eggs!
So stop buying eggs Ha ha
My spotted baby is doing wonderful!!! I play with him/her a little everyday!!! He/she follows me around, I LOVE it.
