Finally, she did it. She laid an egg. I didn't think I would get any eggs until spring but my little duck is laying an egg everyday. I'm waiting for the other little girl to start laying eggs. I am so thrilled.
I have 5 Indian Runner Ducks...... sadly I lost one somewhere in the woods. The ducks found the water and I couldn't get them out for days. Then one morning I come out to feed and only 5 ducks come running towards me. They haven't gone back into the woods since. I guess that's a good thing.
Anyway, I'm wondering if I should start saving some eggs and hatching them. I've done some chicken eggs but never duck eggs. What do you think? I wouldn't be able to do it till after Thanksgiving. Is there any differences between the chicken and duck egg hatching method??? I mean, temperature wise, humidity timing and length of time. I really need some female ducks since I have 3 males.
