So sorry your eggs didn't hatch, but very happy you were able to get some little ones for your hen elsewhere.

Sorry they didn't hatch But very glad you were able to help other little ones.

Thanks everyone for your help and encouragement. Since we were so excited to have ducks we went ahead and adopted two blue swede boys from a local rescue. They are awesome little fellas!

Sorry they didn't hatch. But I'm glad you helped her out with the... d'uccle's? Sorry, but what is a d'uccle? Lol

Thanks, they are a type of chicken so everyone is happy! Momma hen got her chicks and human mom got her ducks lol. I'm not sure how to add a photo but if you google mottled d'uccle chicken you will see what they look like.

Maybe you will have better luck having her hatch ducks next time believe me it's hilarious watching a little hen with babies that are the same size as her in a couple of weeks following her around and coming when she calls. I just had a black tailed buff Japanese hatch 7 ducklings and a few weeks ago my white Japanese hatched 3 and I gave her about 6 more .....
