Thanks Kathy, it really is hard not to go Almira (from Tiny Toons) on them. I just wanna love them and hug them and squeeze them!

ikr! I have a bigger tub, but I'm short so it would have been hard to sit there and keep a close eye on them. I will for sure get them in their bigger tub for their next swim. Yea I can already imagine them at 3 weeks!!

It was hard to get information out of them, I guess they don't want us to know about there "hatching Methods". LOL any ways, I told them what I have been doing and what is successful and what is not and the response I got was, first: if it works then continue". but they do have a second bator or commercial incubator in which the eggs are laying down for hatching. I couldn't get any information as to what day or when they place the eggs in this second bator. But it does appear that when they move the eggs into this bator they are laid down.. I couldn't get any information such as what is the temp and humidity etc. ALL's I got was a link referring me back to there website on how to hatch duck eggs. SO, with that in mind..

After opening up my one egg that died, I noticed his yolk was broken.

They said that all commercial duck hatcheries incubate stood up.
