I gave up on the ten duck eggs I was incubating, and opened them. As I suspected, not one was fertile. Meanwhile, yesterday's egg was almost added to the incubator, but I didn't want to add another infertile egg. On the other hand, after watching them mate the other day, and giving it a few days,I suspected it was worth checking. Except that I forgot to check it.
This morning as I was doing chores I had the quackers out of their pen. The dog was watching them, so I was free to get things done. I looked at the time, and realized it was too early to call the hatchery to place an order. At this point, I thought I had already checked yesterday's egg. Well, guess who found the egg unchecked? And guess what I found when I checked that egg?

:celebrate :weee :woot :cd :yesss:

Hello, my name is Heather. Ive been dying to get a duck and im about to purchase two baby pekin ducks in a day or so. I need all of the information i can get please. This is my first actual pet besides a gold fish and i want to be the best momma duck ever. I live in a condo that is decent sized. I just bought diapers, food, bedding, matts, and a heat lamp. BUT no bulb. Im not sure what kind of bulb to get. Also, i am a senior in highschool that works at Best Buy where i work usually 4-5 days a week. I was scared that i wouldnt have time to love my babies but im hoping that this two week winter break starting on december 19th will help. I work 5-9:30 on week days and 10-5 on weekends. Do you think that is too much time away from my babies? Also, what sex should i get? Im thinking two of the same sex.

Im not trying to be mean but this is a bad idea. when u decide u cant do it, u cant just release them, to a park, pond, or farm or they will for sure die. they are cute ducklings but are full grown in about a month or so. Even if they are house ducks they still need at the least a baby pool to swim in which cant be inside and still need outside time. My two ducks require just as much care as my baby daughter and my son is due next month so i had to give my ducks up to a wonderful woman and her daughter bc they could not get the approriate care and attention from me. between work and school you already dont have enough time for them. Even if they wear diapers, their diapers need changed every 2-3 hrs minimum or you will have poo everywhere and your parents will hate this and so will you! they are very messy. and very loud. i know you want pets but going from a fish to ducks is to big of a jump and you are setting them up for failure and death, sorry to say. plz dont take this meanly, im just trying to talk you out of it bc in my opinion its a bad choice for a pet! i love ducks i miss them dearly. in my personal opinion they are not a pet for a younging unless the parent is actually taking responsibility and caring for them.

You know what? That's why it's my favorite. I think I might make a puzzle out of it. In fact, you might have time to copy/save the photo. Then go to Walmart's website. In the "departments " click photo department... Okay this is too detailed. Sorry.
Walmart can make you a puzzle for Ry for Christmas.
