Duck Hatch-A-Long ~ Wanna Join?

[Chikn-Chik]

I wanna join please! One of my friends is dropping off some Pekin duck eggs at the post office this evening for me. I can't wait to go get them already! I lost my last Muscovy hen a few weeks ago (had her for 6 years) and figured it was time to rebuild my flock. I've hatched lots of chickens and just tried geese, but lost all the babies. I had always let my Muscovy hen set and hatch her own eggs, so this is my first time actually incubating them myself. I'm super excited!

DutchChick ~ That is so sad about your little Call egg! Ugh!! I hope you get some to hatch under your broodies! ~ Aspen

I have 9 out of the 2nd batch growing in the bator, and just added 18 more last night. I only have one little broodie right now and she can only sit 5. Surely I will get babies out of all this!

Hello! Welcome! Sorry to hear about your Muscovy hen,

Do you mean you lost your geese during incubation? Hopefully the Pekins will do better for you.

I am officially in lockdown with 5 eggs out of my original 9! I have one that is already rocking too! I can't wait to see what colors hatch, it's a surprise!

Yes, I had 34 eggs from my own flock, only 7 developed, and then none hatched. I hope they do also!

Oh wow....were the others clear, like they weren't fertile? I let my Sebs hatch their own...they do better than I do, as I hate having to turn them all the time.
