Duckling Thread!

Mine have gotten so big they’re feathering out!
Silly duckling fell over. Wasn’t even struggling to get up. Maybe she planned it...

Oh, it is! My property is low, so it’s perfect for waterfowl

For anyone not following the other thread, here is our unplanned brood at the moment. @Raenh rescued them from a storm drain.

Welp, I don’t really want to do this, but it’s all I’ve got to work with, so I’m going for it.

Last year I had 1 drake and 3 hens. I hatched out 7 Ducklings, kept 2, both were drakes. Since then, I only have 2 hens and the 2 drakes. I’m currently trying to get rid of the drakes, but I thought I would try and hatch out Ducklings anyway.

Even though it’s a good possibility they’re very closely related, as far as I have read, it shouldn’t cause any issues.

How many eggs should I set? I think there are some in the fridge plus another 7, and I could save eggs for a couple more days.
