Okay... so I'm getting the eggs (hopefully on Friday). I'm so excited! Do they need higher temps than chickens? jw. Thanks

All's the same as chickens, but be sure to keep the humidity higher through the incubation, and then jack it up really high during hatch.

Ducks are WATERfowl don'tchaknow?

So... I'm going tomorrow to get a dozen+ eggs and... a new welsh harlequin drake. I'm so excited! This will be my first of this breed so I'm excited to see how his personality is. So far, my girls have been great with any new ducks. The drake that I currently have should be good being as he's not sexually mature yet. I'll make sure to post some pictures of the new boy tomorrow.

Tweak is in heavy molt right now (my WH drake). He looks goofy, but they change so quickly and it is very impressive seeing them go from scruffy teenager to handsome young man

I'm excited. I really love the looks of the WH hens though. They're beautiful. Do you think that a WH male is big enough to mate Pekin hen?
