Duck Eggs Due the 25th

[neferset]

2 Ducks! Khaki Campbells. One arrived early this morning, the other around 5 pm or so. I tucked them both in with my chicks just a bit ago and now everyone is fast asleep. (Though there was a tense moment when the Buff OrpingtonX chicks gathered together for a conference regarding what to do about the alien threat.)

Edit: Oh, my crested Khaki Campbells actually seem to not have crests. (I remember you were interested in the Crested Rouens.) That's a relief really. I was concerned about the lethal gene issue, tied to the crests. So I'm getting some non-crested chicks at least.

I had two baby duck hatch out the 24th, they are just too cute, one is doubled is size than the other one, and the littler one, it bill is bent right at the end, its eat ok, and doing good, hopefully it will thrive,

the double yolker, didnt make and 2 others, the 2 looked like they stop on day 20 or so, what bummer not sure what happed,

but my 13 chicks are doing great they are growing so fast.

went to take pics and my camera wont even come on, so i thought it was the batters, went to get more and still wont come one

so i have to go buy and new one, since i need for work, and i have 7 jobs i have to this week and i have to take pics of the jobs when i'm done.

I cant wait to see what the little guys grow up to look like, they are Rouen x magpies,

Congrats on your 2 babies. When you get your camera fixed and I get my USB card reader fixed, we need to exchange pictures.

I saw my goose egg rolling last night but nothing is happening yet. No pip or anything. I am beginning to get worried. Also, the two ducks I got are the only ones to hatch. I am going to wait a little longer before I go discarding anyone, then I will concentrate on my chicks for the 29th.

Is it just me or are babies we hatch ourselves much calmer? My EEs from Ideal are totally insane whenever I go to care for them and play with them. My little ones in the other brooder are some of the calmest, sweetest chicks.

I think all I'm getting from those duck eggs were the two babies, but that's ok. They are great baby ducks.

Today's picture, now that I have my card reader back and am free to post pics again. They have definite personalities. One is very outgoing. The other, less so, but they seem to get along well.

I finally got my camera still trying to figure out how to use it, so the pics are not the best

this is Nibbles and Peanut, Nibbles just wants to nibble on every one and everything and Peanut, well just a little peanut

they will be 2 weeks on saturday

Awww! I haven't named mine yet. My guy has names that depend on me knowing the gender. With as noisy as they are, I suspect both girls, so Donald might be out.
