My Official Duck Hatching Thread (Update:More Pics!)

[1lpoock]

Another one is out, and that makes 5...i just hope the others (there is maybe 7) pip or something...i know its two days early, but why wouldnt they all hatch at the same time...i just hope this isnt the last duckling to hatch...

good job! They are cute!

I wonder why none are crested? i thought crested was dominant?? maybe not though...

yeah..my 2 drakes are crested...but all my females are non crested..
i did that on purpose so i didnt ever have to worry about 2 crested mating and it being fatal..

i bet more will hatch..give them time..it can take up to 3 days after hatch date sometimes..so dont toss any eggs yet.

Maybe the later hatchers are crested? i heard they have a harder time to hatch...

I started a thread asking about the crested gene...hopefully we can get some answers..
