Today my baby, Palmer, turned 4! I can't believe it! Where has the time gone? It feels like only yesterday she was being born!

May 12, 2011 my two other babies, her momma Kissy and her daddy Beau, become proud parents to the most beautiful little girl God could ever grace us with

I am forever grateful for my lifelong companion, best friend, and daughter. She is my whole entire world. Thank you for blessing my life and making me eternally happy. Happy Birthday, my baby. I love you more than anything. Always and forever, Amen.

so guys i should have some babies hatching Monday(my first duck hatch) and i am wondering how i can tell the quality from a duckling,obviously i know small beak...ect but i wouldn't know the difference to how small a sq is and so on.

so i was wondering if you guys could post pics of a sq duckling vs pq.

thanks in advance

Also, do better quality hens lay smaller eggs? I have one quite large egg and another quite small one. Will the duckling from the smaller egg be smaller than the duckling from the larger one. Presumably they will differ in size at hatchng but as adults will the smaller egg duck be smaller? Sorry for the weirdly worded question hope you guys understand!

I don't think so, personally. It may impact the size of the duckling itself, since it'll fill any space there is to fill in that egg, but genes are genes and they will grow to whatever size they are meant to be. As for the layers themselves, it's just dependent on the duck, really. Wobbles' egg was relatively big, especially for a call duck! But Milkshake's egg was positively tiny.

Thank you for replying, I am hoping they will be good quality! I will post a pic of one of the possible parents, hoping it was her!
