Finally! Call duck babies hatching!

[bossynbella]

We have had call ducks for 5 years now. Last year we bought an inubator put 40 call duck eggs in and got.... 4 ducklings.
This year I bought muscovys for hatching the eggs and low and behold, my call duck hens both go broody! They had 18 eggs under the two of them. They are sisters they made there nests together they sat on the eggs together, and they are raising the ducklings together! Yesterday I went to get some straw and there were two little yellow ducklings sitting in between the two moms. Later we saw a brown one and this morning I saw a diff yellow one (it looks like it doesn't have down on its neck?) and two brown ones peeking out! I am so excitted!
We will be keeping two or three and the rest I hope to sell next weekend at the chicken sale in Maquoketa IA. Does everyone have a hard time hatching these? I really want to put $15 each for week old call ducklings, I would pay that because I know how hard it is for me to hatch them. And you cant find them in a hatchery around here.
What do you think, is $15 to much?

I will post pictures later, all i have is my phone I forgot my camera at my moms last time I was down there.


Thanks
Melissa

I think that 15 should be fine. But, I would also check the market around where you live. I would like to see pictures also.
