I can't wait to get ducks.

How did you build your bator, Dan? Maybe if I made one, I could hatch ducklings and chicks. Then I don't have to wait!

I made it out of a cooler and some lights. There's a lot more ways than that though. Try asking around here, there's a lot of people and they know what they're talking about. You could also ask Sally Sunshine, she helped me with mine.

Thanks. I will look into some of them. I do need a breed that doesn't fly though. They would need to be in a fence as I have some dogs around here that wouldn't hesitate to eat a duck or chicken.

No problem. Neither my pekins nor the swedes fly, I don't think runners do either.

Ok. I'll look into those breeds. I know someone with runners so they might be an option.

I liked my Cayuga too, I get more if I could find some.

Ok. There aren't a ton of different duck breeds that are easy to find around here although one of my friends has a bator and hatches eggs so if I get eggs she would hatch them for me, I just need to find eggs.

Nice! There's not much around here, I was hoping people would be interested in duck eggs but they're not :/ I do believe though that ducklings will do better. Plus I can charge almost as much for one duckling as a dozen eggs.
