Mamma Goose hatches duck eggs

[Miss Lydia]

I’m sorry you’ve lost some hope the others hatch. How long as she been sitting? Have you candled the remaining eggs?

I will probably do that today. It's been over 3 weeks. I did, however put a chicken egg under her not sure if it's fertile. I'll candle that one too.

We have two babies!!

That is so sweet, geese are the best parents!

 

[Atschiele]

She's very protective!

Congratulations they all are beautiful!

 

[Miss Lydia]

Aww so nice there are 2. Mama looks very protective. Any chance on the others?

Yes it is not uncommon to see this! Very sweet! Just make sure like everyone has said keep the other ducks away because they may kill the baby ducklings. Good luck! Also I gave my duckling this nutrient feed for chicks, it seemed to work well, as well as flies and sweet corn.

Thank you! I have been adding the electrolyte powder to their water and have specific duckling food for them. Flies? Wow! I'll look to see if our feed store has them! How about crushed up dried mealworms?
