50 ducklings at once is MADNESS! You have to send some of them to me, to lighten the poo load...

Nice ducklings!!
Good luck with them!!
I dont know how you can do it with so many lol I thought five ducklings were hard

.... and I thought taking care of nine duck was a chore.

I would love to have all those fluffy butts

but at the same time i wouldnt enjoy it as much as if I had had only a few ducklings. WIth small numbers you can figure out their little personalities and give them more attention and snuggles!!

50 ducklings look just sssooooo cute...

OMG I would be loving that.. .but would have to take a few weeks off work to stay home just to be with them all. Those photos are so wonderful.... I would love to have so many at once - But having to sell most of them when grown would be too sad for me.

Not to hijack the thread, but what breeds are you getting from Sandhill? All of my Dark Campbells, Runners, and Hookbills are from them (although I'm adding some more Hookbills from Holderreads this spring). They're really great people to deal with! Don't be so sure about the April 8th date though - I had my order in the fall before, and requested a hatch date anytime between April and June. My ducklings arrived at the end of July, after I had given up all hope and was expecting a refund! I'm so glad I was surprised with a box of fuzzy-butts instead!

You're nuts.

I'm designing my own incubator right now (which is going to be AWESOME, I can't wait until it's done and I can unveil it here on BYC), and I decided to limit myself to a maximum capacity of 50 duck eggs, so that I don't end up with 350 ducklings at a time! It's just too much poo!
