OOOOOOhhh. I'm so sorry - what a disappointment.

I, too, have read they are tricky to incubate.

My favorite little tiny ducks are the east indies. I think they are just gorgeous.

ooh picture???

I don't have any, I just think they are nice. We had a tiny EI duclking for a while that just terrorized Bill, our dog. Here is a pic I found on feathersite:

My JG eggs look good, I'll candle them Friday.

My bator is steady-I set it at 100.2 and my spot check thermometer reads 99.9-99.8. Humidity 35%. All good. My silkie is sitting on 4 of them, temp ?, humidity?

I have 2 d'uccles. One was doing that wheeze this morning. I put them on LS-50, and they have been drinking like crazy. I would hate to lose the little girl. They are both so cute. I also bleached everything and changed the shavings. I also ordered Tylan just in case, but LS-50 is good for respiratory.

That sounds great. I hope it works out. Being closer to work is great-I live a mile from mine. Hopefully it's closer to Duke (hospital) for you?

Brindle -are these big ducks??? Im trying to stick to SMALL ducks because DH likes small animals and such so I dont "think" he'll bark too much when he sees that the ducks dont grow much

 

[Brindlebtch]

No, these are really small ducks. Maybe not as small as call ducks but dang small. You must be thinking of cayugas - they are big ducks but not as pretty, IMO, as east indies.

Here is a link from a breeder that does both calls and black East Indies.

FINALLY found a pic of an east indie next to a call!

No, about 35 mins farther. We thought about that, but if we ever get back to normal we only go there about every other month for a visit. It's just during surgeries/extended stays it makes a difference. But to get closer to there, we'd have to get farther from hubby's work. And we are already 40 mins from there.
