Hi! I'm the proud new mom of 4 baby pekin ducks, thanks to all of you!

[chemwhizzz47]

Been lurking on this site for a little over a month and a half now, ever since my shipped eggs arrived and I began incubating them. Thank you all so much for the wealth of knowledge that you've accumulated here! It has allowed me as a first-timer to raise eggs over the summer break and have a decent (~36%, 4 hatched/11 fertile) hatch rate, and even know what a decent hatch rate was, and how to assist the eggs that were having problems (I saved two babies! Yay!) Anyway, we're getting ready to build their house and pen and any advice you lovely people might have about this next step of our journey is incredibly welcome <3 <3 <3

Ducks grow very fast - looks like they are ready to move on to bigger digs. They are adorable. Welcome to the flock.

@drumstick diva I agree! They've already almost doubled in size in less than a week! They're in a 30 gal Rubbermaid right now, but I think I might have to go get a bigger one from Walmart tomorrow just to finish out their time with the heater!
