EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

After looking at a few pics I think they look like Swedish Black?

They'd only be Swedes if they just have a bib, if they've got spots or patches they're either mixes or Magpies or Anconas.

They have a bib and some yellow on the face. The rest of the body is black.

They might be mixes then, or poor quality Swedes.

Yes, they might be mixes. The teacher does not know what breed they are. They are super cute and friendly though! They are making me start to want ducks....

It's possible. Nice, all ducks are cute!

Be careful, once you get a few you can't stop. I started with ten, now I've got 35 and 21 eggs due to hatch anytime now.

I don't have a problem with stopping. I did really like my Mallards though. I know they are happy with their lake down by you though.

So, I WAS going to go to sleep early. But I browsed a little on BYC first. And found this thread - OMG, it's completely riveting!!!! I know Liz and Kathy were over there, but has anyone followed this? Esp. @BantyChooks

I have no idea what I am doing

I was almost in tears by the end. That wonderful, wonderful man...

I'll check it out, thanks.

Edit: Just finished reading. What a beautiful story.

One of the teachers at my kids' school hatched these ducks. Any idea what breed they might be?

I'd imagine they are.
