Good luck. I had 1 set hatch, another due the 24th and 1 more due the 1st . The 1st was 7/8. Losing the drake last month had me really worried about the hatch. W/O the hatch we were left with 1 lone duck

I was opposite but still worried. Now I may have extras to sell. LOL And the wife bought me 3 for blood to mix with mine since they were full sibling mates. Either way unless I end up with 10 females, from what is hatched and bought I will be ok.... I think. Currently cooking I have 16, 3 might be quitters but waiting them out. And if any fertility still existed she has layed straight since I collected last bator load. Somehow amazingly my 3 y/o hasn't grabbed em up on me. He's an egg hound. 2 y/o right behind him.
She might be getting close to sit she has ben hissing at me at night when she's on nest, but she lays at like 11 pm everyday. Will have to seriously watch the kids if she sits there.

Is this part of your bibbed Rouen program? part of your MS because you will soon be starting your PhD as you said on the peafowl forum?

My 9 week old pair of Rouens. Love my babies!

I have 3 adult rouens and they just hatched 6 ducklings 1 week ago. They are all doing well but 2 are all yellow down. Any idea what that means? Are there recessive light colored rouens. The adults are a year old and in a pen, so no outside breeding.https://www.backyardchickens.com/content/type/61/id/6349189/width/350/height/700/flags/LL this is all the ducks. If the yellows are special I might keep one.
