That a lot of ducks!I donated eggs to a couple of teachers, and this weekend one is bringing back 11 healthy ducklings.
The down side to that is I already hatched 6, and then bought 10 other ducklings... This is gonna drive me quackers!
These are the ones hatched from our eggs, and what is coming back this weekend. Runners, Anconas, and then crosses of the 2.

My ducks love to poop on eggs....Three viable eggs, someone took a big load on two other eggs
I had 21 adults, then went to 12. Now I'll be at 39! Holy molly, that number snuck up on me! There is still 1 teacher who might be bringing ducklings back too. She also had 12 eggs.

That sounds like high gear to meI had 21 adults, then went to 12. Now I'll be at 39! Holy molly, that number snuck up on me! There is still 1 teacher who might be bringing ducklings back too. She also had 12 eggs.
Actually, the plan has always been to sell the Ancona and crosses. My main interest are the Runners. Although, I do have one cross that has a Runner body/stance but Ancona colors/feet/bill. That one is staying here, it's pretty neat looking.
(I've also got around 40+ chicks, 30 quail egg, and ~2 dozen chicken eggs incubating. I'm not planning on going in to high gear till next year... I might be ahead of plans
. Around here ducks and chickens are selling like hot cakes so now is a good time to sell.
Got my two eggs and might have a home for six ducklings
