im not sure if its fertile or not as i have not candeled it yet but
i have a call duck egg as well as about 6-8 guinea eggs under my broody guinea in my coop
im pretty sure they r all due 2 hatch around the same time
im thinking i got my ducks around the 5th or so and the duck laid an egg around the 9th
the 5th was a wednesday and the 9th was a sunday and im pretty sure the guinea went broody that weekend
so therefore they should be hatching around the same time maybe just 1-3 days off
i was away that weekend so thats why im not foresure the day the guinea went broody
well heres my question
im just going to let the guinea hen raise the call duckling by herself with the keets
if i see a problem in how its getting raised ill take it and raise it my self
well i know guinea keets will be able to fly alot sooner then the duckling at least i think
so im wondering how long does it take for a duck to get its flight feathers and be able to fly
i know it wont be able to perch as it is not a perching duck but i want it to be able to fly if it needs to to keep up with the rest the gang
if anyone has had a hard time reading this let me know and ill try to answer your question as best as i can
thank you
