That must have been sooo sweet, did they all hatch?
I've never used an incubator yet, but I will in the spring!! I found a used Hovabator on Craig's List!
I''ll probably be a nervous wreck.
Sometimes I stay awake just thinking about what ducklings I want to hatch out!!

Thanks Chickenmom!! Adore is the right word, I do the morning duck chores and then I just stand there and take it all in.
They are such adorable beings, I feel lucky to be able to have them!! I'm sure you will too.

But just in case you didn't see this there is another side to ducks:

All but one of them made it. For some reason the one who didn't just couldn't get turned around in his shell. These were super tiny duck eggs they hatched out of. I'm half expecting my three runners to be bantam. The eggs I'm hatching out now are twice the size and the same breed.​

Tiny eggs runner eggs and tiny runner ducklings?!! Someone was looking for bantam runners (Rainplace I think) - where did you get the eggs? Do you have a drake and a hen? This could get interesting!
