Bellatrix is protective of the nest but is off the nest more then anything. I may take the rest of the eggs from her when I give her ducklings, or do you think she wont be a very good mo m

Its alive but barely, I think one is dead in shelll as it smells, but if I candle it and it not move, this one didnt move either. Should I throw the one away?

Does the live one look ready to hatch?

Whohooo! Letting me load pictures!

Miss Lydia I'm doing my best working with ducks.

No matter what in going to wait until I'm sure of sex to decide anything and I'll let everyone know when I know for sure. This is one confusing duck!

I also got two pictures from behind. Gives you a better leg/feet view. Not sure if that's helpful or not

So is everybody confident Pip is a drakelet?
He was 9 weeks old yesterday when I took these pics and if definitely a drakelet I will have to sell him today

He's very cute, sorry probably not what you wanted to hear.

Still looks like a duck to me!

Here an old pic of a drake i had he was only a few months in this pic.. drakes are big, this also sounds silly but they don't look girly in the head/face... your bird reminds me of my girls not any of my drakes..

Waa waa waa I know
Every morning when I go open up thier pens he comes and sits on my lap and peeps away telling me all about his adventures for the night.
I've never had a duckling imprint on me and the bond we have is beautiful. Love him to bits.

Yay I really hope so! I wasn't worried until so many started to say some of the pictures looked drakeish. That drake in your picture is absolutely stunning!

I agree. Looks very feminine to me.
