Yes I’ve heard they have great personalities! Anyone have any pics of runners they have?

Vveeerryyy sooon! The eager first guy is doing his best to zip, so I’m thinking I may have a hatch tonight!!!! If he doesn’t hatch before bed (highly doubt he will) I’m going to get up in the middle of the night and check on him.

Hey guys things are going well, albeit a little slow but I think that’s just how it goes with ducks. One question; how do you know if the membrane is too dry? Humidity has been around 70-80% for the last 5 days so all should be well. Just wondering how you know.

Yayyyy!!!! He’s wobbling around and screaming his little lungs out. I watched him hatch at 3:45 am; I got up to check on him at the exact right time! What a cutie

Here is Little Man! The other five eggs are coming along at different speeds; although one of them has pipped at the wrong end. Is this going to be a problem? He’s vocal (although it’s not a high pitched peep) and he has only externally pipped in the last 24 hrs. Is this ok?
