Pekins and woodys.

[pekinsnwoodys86]

I have two pekin ducks. Felix and Lucie. They are growing wonderfully. Today my fiancé came home from work (tree removal) and he had a brood of wood duck eggs. There are about 8 of them. I was wondering if Lucie would sit on them and incubate them or should I get the items needed to incubate?

I doubt that Lucie would sit on them unless she is already acting broody. I would fire up an incubator as soon as possible.

Ok, I don't think she's acting broody at all so I will jut get an incubator going. I am excited and I hope I do well in incubating them and then succeed in hatching and keeping them alive. I have seen pictures of wood ducks and they are adorable. I would love to have some. How old do they have to be to be outside in a pen?
