There adorable! Ive just given mine there first dip in water and they loved it :lol: keep us posted with your last 3 eggs..
 
Hmmm was just looking at some other hatching video of Rouens because I was thinking the color is wrong. And well all the rouen ducklings are born dark with a little yellow and a black bill and feet. My baby has bright orange feet, a smudge of black on the bill and is mostly yellow with a little dark coloring on the soon to be fluff. Could this be a different duck?
Have you got another photo of her? You can usually tell better when there all fluffed up :)
 
I was wathcing the duckling thru the window and noticed it was leaving alittle blood behnid when it was walking around to I took it out to check it out. It has a fleshy thing hanging from it, is it the umbilical cord or worse? The duckling is very active and moving all around and chirping alot so seams strong. Heres a pic. Whats the bad news? And what do I do ?

 
That'll close up within a few hours usually. Just make sure you have something soft on the incubator bottom so it doesn't catch on anything. Very cute duckling.

Ok so the thingy I asked about earlier is barely there now. Baby is mostly fluffy and I moved it to the brooder quickly. Today is day 29 (or 28 if you dont count the day I put them in) I have 1 duck egg left and the 2 guinea eggs. I bought the duck eggs to be specifically Rouens BUT lol this duckling is deffinitly not. I'm thinking Silver Appleyard duckling? What do you guy think?

ETA: I heard back from the lady I bought the eggs from. (off ebay) and she says she has Rouens and Pekins only. So looks like baby is a mix.

I dont what she is but i bet she turns out to be the best looking! I have a cross marans that was supposed to be a Wheaton but shes crossed with a cuckoo marans and shes so pretty! Hows the guinea eggs? :)
