That's probly about right then I've had them about a month

CyndiD eggs are laid hatched and supposedly raised by mama duck. They are outside but have a small house to go into. I close the door every night. Plenty warm as long as mama duck keeps them close. Problem was see started back laying and didn't watch over the babies. The one that made it was under mom sitting on eggs. Born on Friday. Found one dead on Saturday and the second on Monday. The one I bought inside seems to be doing good. She raised eleven ducklings last year. Very good mother last year. I'll take your 70's. Suppose to be low 90's today. After today upper 70's low 80's rest of week. Not cut on aircondition. Holding off on that light bill as long as I can lol wouldn't be so bad if every other night I didn't get woke up to skunk smell and have to cut window fans off. Oh the joys of country living lol

Hi unlucky picker, sorry i haven't responded sooner, we have been busy with home improvements in our home/money pit. What kind of duck is mamma duck? I have read that runners r not good sitters. Mine do not sit on their eggs. I read that if u leave the eghs in their nest & when they build up to 7 or 10 eggs then they may start to sit on them. I bought a male blu runner, so when he is old enough to be a daddy/mate, i will see if my runners decide to sit on their eggs?
So, tell me, how was the swap on Sat? Did u buy any babies? Did u find a runner, or what else u were interested in?

CyndiD didn't make swap. Went Thursday to pick up a year old chocolate female runner. Got home that afternoon and refrigerator had played out. Went picked one out Friday and they delivered it Saturday so stuck home. Did go yesterday and picked up another chocolate runner female. This one is not laying age. On Sunday my buff hatched her eggs. Have nine babies. Look so cute following mom. She is a great mom. Have my khaki campbells on Craig's list for sale. Trying to just get runners. We'll see how that goes.

Well, at least u got a new fridge, that is a necessity. I have 3 chocolate runners, they r so pretty. I have 4 buff ducklings too, they r dtarting to get their buff colored feathers on their sides, i can hardly wait to see them fully feathered, they will be pretty too. One of the buffs is so skittish, when she gets startled she takes off quick & runs back n forth & in circles, it cute even though i know she is scared. I just talk to her & try to calm her down. I hope my buffs r good sitters like yours, if not i have an incubator. I was going to buy khaki's also, but i decided on the buffs instead.
TTYL,

It should be just fine for your ducks. That looks like a really good deal and you will probably never have to buy any more for life! Do you have a chest freezer to store it in so that it doesn't go bad?

Great price but brewer's yeast generally is given to ducklings their first 10 to 12 weeks at most, though if the ducks are entirely indoors it may be a useful supplement - but it would take quite a while to go through that - how long is it good for? Seems like a helpful item for a buying club, though.

CyndiD has been 90 here for the last 3 days. Aircondition/ heat pump is not working. Coming tomorrow to look at it. Needless to say I no longer have heat on baby duck. Pretty sure his dad is my runner. His head almost touches aquarium top. He's less than 2weeks old. My chocolate I got last week has been laying. I to have heard they are not good setters. If anybody on here has had good luck or bad luck I'd love to know. Also my male is real protective of my female. Is that normal? My other males are protective but not to the extent my runner is. I believe he would attack me if I tried to pick up the female. Was never like that before.

Hi, found another site w/a good price! Non-debittered is less expensive.

Oooh, that looks like a more reasonable amount, and at a good price too. And if you're just giving it to the ducks, it shouldn't matter that it's still bitter.
