. Store the eggs in an egg tray pointed side down at room temperature and try ur best to at least make a home made incubator as quickly as possible. There are some videos on youtube u can look at for a simple incubator.

thank you so much! xxx

thank you so much! xxx

one more thing put something like a price of 2by2 under one side of the tray so the eggs have at least a 30° angle and interchange sides about 5 times per day so the eggs change position so the developing embroyo will not stick to the egg

Lovely ducks! Are they all muscovys?

How exciting. Keep us posted. If you happen to get a couple girls for the two boys and I don't think the pairings can be forced, will Lewis be the more aggressive pursuer?

I think the drakes will forcefully mate with them like chickens the hens never really want to mate but they get chased down and so I get fertile eggs the same should happen with the ducks and Lewis will be more aggressive then Clark cuz he is that way with my geese

they sure are.

duckman how much molasses do you use to the water you give them?

that's true. My extremely tiny male finch always chases down his cage mate hen who is normally never receptive to his advances even though they aren't bonded as a pair, per se. Long story but very interesting with these two. So does Lewis attempt to mate with the geese then? The size difference is substantial. What do they do? Can he tell a male goose from a female?

See that is where I'm super stuck Assyra my "gander" acts completely male the stances he/she does and the fact Assyra is so mean but Assyra is always being mated with from my scovies but Damascus the "goose" never has a problem with them but he/she runs from anything scary and is always got her head low so I'm like :/ choose a gender already!

poult, that is hilarious. You made me laugh. These webbed footed birds are so funny. I hope the gender thing gets worked out soon.
