Ducklings!

[Ilovemychicks08]

I found a lady with Anconas in Illinois. She will have them hatched by end of next week or early the week after. Would these do good with the Welsh Harlequins? I may get 2 Anconas and 2 harlequins!

I love your excitement! I have welshies (Pickles & Tofu), silver appleyards (Flora & Ducky), a black runner (Vignette), a blue swedish (Mizu), a cayuga (Druzy), pekins (Poppy & Petal), a mallard (Tiny), a golden 300 (Tater Tot), and my drakes are black/blue swedish cross (George & Tilly). In my experience, all breeds get along just fine!

Below is a photo of Poppy & Petal at 1 week old. They were hatched 2.22 this year.

Congrats on your coming babies! That's so exciting! Towels also work if you don't want to buy puppy pads. I keep my little ones on towels until they go outside to the run. I've had 3 welshies and they are super calm and sweet ducks. Post pictures when you get them!

I have babies shipping the last week of March and have gathered all my supplies and can't stop thinking about it - they're so fun!

I already have puppy pads. But will keep the towels in mind if i run out. I will post pictures. I have a countdown on my fridge and my phone has a reminder telling me how many days till they arrive. I was so impatient to wait till tomorrow now its moved to April and im even more impatient.

I have some very eggciting news! I got 2 ducks today! And will be getting 2 next week! Im just hoping 2 are girls! I think the ones i got today were a Ancona and a Swedish Blue! They were in a hatchery choice bin! This is after they had been in here for 1 hour. The Ancona has what looks like a toxic symbol on her head!

Just a question, when do you let them swim? They are trying to get into the containers!

Some people say three weeks and others say six weeks. I let them swim after a week. You should be okay as long as you quickly get them dry and warm.

They climbed in the water dish a little bit ago, i had to dry them off, now they are trying to go in it again.
