well outta 2 broody blue swedish ducks we weren't sure when they started sitting had 10 hatch so far and 4 more eggs under them still we had 5 rebels that didn't wanna be in the nest with momma and the other babies, we lost 3 of those they actually made it into the kiddie pool while we were gone and drowned as moms wouldn't get off the eggs to save them, they are first time hatching had to help 1 out last night that pipped enough to let us know it was a mal positioned, had a navel bleed, used flour as that's what we had on hand and glad to report he is tired but doing well 24 hours later

Wow, sorry about the little rebels, but congrats on the save and sounds like the mommas had a good hatch!

Hehee. They had just started to wake up when I took the photos.

Dawww they are so cute!

yeah was weird, but we got the females already laying and when they decided to brood they did it together and kicked the crap outta the poor drake, we intrioduced the 2 young hens and the drake, he got his seat end handed to him just for good measure then they let them all talk to the babies. They are super protective but let us watch them now as long as no touching, took 3 of us to get the baby that was having trouble lol

12 out and 2 left, but I am only counting on one more to hatch. The other is still alive, but not doing anything.

So it's almost over! Great job on them! What kind are they again?

My silkies are hatching e So far one lavender and two blacks, and they look very nice. All three have vaulted skulls and well feathered legs, and also good toe spacing.
