How long does it take for them to hatch?

28 days.

Is it usually that long for all breeds

We’re super new to ducks (less than 2 weeks ). We also have 2 goats and 4 pullets.

This pic is from a few days ago when I took them out for just a few minutes to experience the great outdoors.

Names (not in order-bc I’d have to look too closely at the pic to differentiate them) Daisy, Nibbles, Emerald, Cutie, Diamond, and Mocha

So far I can say they are way cuter/more fun than chicks but also def def way messier! (Which I did read but still was shocked at just how much). And they grow sooo much faster.

Hubby is hoping they’re all girls bc he is attached already and doesn’t want to part with any of them.

The two in front are the mom and dad to 6 behind them except for three Ancona hens I added from a couple friends of mine.

This is Baby, my special needs duck who insists he's not a duck.

Hey city, I'm also newer to having ducks. They are super cute and wow yes do they grow a lot faster. Also very messy but in my opinion cuter than chicks. I got 5 myself that are 3 weeks old. I've been thinking about goats but not sure what care goes with them

Hey Itty. Your ducks are absolutely adorable. I love them and the landscape you have it is beautiful

Hi there! Once the weather warms up and the leaves reappear I'll take some more pictures of them all out in the yard!

I'd love to see those. You got lots of color in those photos they must be pretty happy out there

hello! I have 5 ducks, 7 hens, 1 rooster, and 3 chicks who haven’t left their brooder yet. (not to mention all our other animals but that would take too long lol)
these are our 3 buff orpingtons, maisie, mae, and molly! (in that order)

and these are our blue runners Bean and Bunny.

we got our first egg from one of them a couple weeks ago, and can’t wait for more!
we are hoping to get welsh harlequins in the future
