@18angovem Well, happy that one little one made it! I'm so sorry the two siblings didn't though ): What color Call duckling?

The one looked like a blue, PRETTY.. I can tell you that.

I'm gonna have to upload a few pics of the surviving duckling. Might as well saying he keeps me up with all the peeping. Curse you tsc for being closed on Easter and not allowing me to buy my duckling some buddies! He is almost copper in color with a dark silver head. I got some new ducks (spent a small fortune) and got some super rare colors mixed in so we will have to see how he turns out!

Honestly though, 2 of my 4 are twice the size of my other 2 and they were all hatched the same day. Each eat, drink, and poop all the same. Could it mean 2 are more than likely pet quality and 2 are more than likely show quality?

Yes, and no, if I recall the malpositioned had a nice blob of gooy stuff, I think what went wrong is we were to late at helping him.  For him to be fully form and ABSOLUTELY no Blood, I think he ran out of air, I think if we got some of the blobby mess out sooner, he may have had a better chance but dang it if we were to late.  You just can't tell until you open them and even then it's a Scary thing because you have NO clue what your going to find.  Sooo sad, I was really hoping he would last long enough for us to get to him.  he seemed to have some pretty little baby fluff too.

As much as i hate to say this, NO thanking here.  Only if we are successful..  

Hope fully next time! I have my next batch due in either a week, or two. I put the number 8 on all the eggs, but now I can't remember if that is the date they are due or the date I put them in.

Does anyone remember the links to the call duckling identification chart that was on here a while ago and the link to the website that has a call duck color breeding guide

Bath time. I had to bring the duckies in for a bath because the pool installment won't be done till this summer so they needed a good cleaning .

I didn't get any pictures of my greys though. Also I noticed that pebbles and bam bam were looking a lot thinner . They have been getting the same amount of food and it's open to them all day, maybe it's because they are getting more exercise ? I don't know whats really going on ( i think if they don't improve ill bring it up at the vet when they go for their check up in may.), I just put some more corn in their diet with some broccoli and some meal worms to see if that might help .


Also I REALLY had to scrub that tub after they got out of there they had not had a bath in a week so now I'm just gonna start giving baths every other day that way they wont destroy the tub and they will just stay cleaner overall.

Ohh my last point of news, tickey is improving greatly the wound has scabbed over and he has stayed away from pebbles which really helped the situation.

THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, and yes I guess they were a bit dirty. WOW LOOK at how fast that tub got dirty. LOL.....

 

[buff goose guy]

Thankyou ( btw I'm still taking pre order on those babies for this summer

.) and Yes literally 2 mins in the tub and the bottom of the tub was filthy, For isis i actually had to turn on the shower and let it clean the floor of the tub while cleaning her because it was just so muddy
