HELP PROBLEM WITH MY DUCK HEN!

[Duckbreeder2020]

Well than see if someone else would-be willing to incubate for you. Those eggs won't hatch without one

Ok! My friend may be able to hatch. She doesn’t hatch ducks but she hatched chickens and turkeys. Maybe I could ask for help

 

[Duckbreeder2020]

Definitely ask for help. I don't know where you are but I would hatch for you. It would be helpful if you would add your location to your profile.

I’m in NJ

I would put him back. But just him

 

[Duckbreeder2020]

Only if you allow her to hatch eggs she lays. I collect my eggs daily. If I want ducklings I put the eggs in the incubator. Don’t leave the eggs and you won’t have ducklings.

Makes sense, but I need ducklings. All my hens that were old enough got killed by a fox last night

 

[Isaac 0]

Ducklings then I guess?

That's up to you to decide.

 

[FunQuail]

She isn’t. But they breed! It’s so confusing

My ducks were breeding way before the girls were laying. She most likely will not lay until next spring again. She’s taking winter off which is good for her body.

 

[FunQuail]

So if you want to incubate eggs you’ll have to wait until next spring anyway. Your drakes will be of age at least.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Come again? I don’t understand

Your pekin is unlikely to hatch the eggs for you. They're bred to be eaten, not live long enough to have a nest, plus they're usually too heavy for a nest. If you want to have ducklings, you'll need to wither buy or borrow an incubator for them

 

[Duckbreeder2020]

That’s my hen and drake! Help please what should I do! She only eats with him

 

[Duckbreeder2020]

I would put him back. But just him

Ok, he keeps trying to breed with her... I guess I’m just gonna have some ducklings then right?
