I have never had ducks, and I don't think I ever want any .... cuz everyone says they are so messy. BUT, tell me .... do you brood them just like chicks in a heated brooder? I know nothing at all about ducks, as you can see.

It's so cold today, my broody gave up he ducks eggs she was sitting on. Now they are inside, because I am crazy! I have no idea how to incubate duck eggs. UGH! time to do some research.

Yes in the just like chicks, only they grow faster. Once they are outside i don't think they are any worse than the chickens. I LOVE my runners. Comic relief. But they are messy to brood.

Debi, your ducks are very cute!

off to bed.

Good luck you late hatchers... my work here today is done.

Unless someone comes forward with a hatch rate of 100% who hatched more than 5 eggs,
then Sumatra503 wins a 6 mo GFM for the BEST HATCH RATE. He hatched 5 of 5 100%

CONGRATULATIONS!!

For the Easter Hatch we'll have a minimum of 20 or 25 eggs set in order to be eligible.
