We finally have 2 baby ducklings!

Out of 13 that i set on 4/4, 8 developed, but only the 2 made it out of their shells. I was hoping for better, but this hatching thing is much harder than it looks. Last week, nothing hatched at all.

I wish my ducks would go broody, but so far only our silkie duck is willing to set. The others need to take lessons from my Seramas who are PRO-MOMMAS. ha-ha! I still have more in the bator, with some due each week this month, so we'll see if i can get better results.

Just my Seramas go broody...and hatch wonderful babies! Fortunately, i adore them!

I don't know what they would do with a duck egg or two---probably feel like they had a mountain under them! LOL One of my Seramas has more than a dozen eggs (serama eggs), she can't quite cover them all, but i noticed that tonight she has her sister, the roo, plus the 3 six-week-old chicks her sister is raising all crammed in the nest box with her! Too funny!
If my ducks did go broody, i realize it means they'll stop giving me eggs to hatch. Then again, they'd probably give me live ducklings faster than the darned incubator is.

edited for spelling, i'm too tired, lol.
