Any bird does have a drowning risk...
All of these game-y types can imprint and that makes them more difficult in the long run. I love my ducks, ive considered calls though because of space conservation

Yea id rather go thru w the process myself . Friend, ur basically payin em to take em!

Saw something several years ago that I'd never have believed had I not witnessed it:
I used to own a mowing service. I'd finished the mowing at this customer's place, & was working my way around the yard fence with the string trimmer when I came upon a piece of plywood leaning against it. I moved it, and behind it sat momma duck on a nest of eggs. Less than a foot from her lay a rat snake about 5'-6' long, working on getting a 2nd duck egg down, the bulge in the middle indicating that it had already gotten one of the other eggs. Strangest thing of all was seeing momma sit right there, doing nothing.

Lol, I want to hatch some of these but the little boogers have hidden their nest so well I can't find any of their eggs. I've looked and looked all over and can't find it anyehere. You're close though, 4 more days? What kind of bantams are you hatching? I hope you have a great hatch! Post lots pics of all the teeny tiny babies!!

Lol, I wish they were Orpington sized. They are like a third the size of Orps.

Well maybe you will find them when they start chirping!
Started with 32 eggs, 6 clear, 2 quit... so far, what I have left is 13 golden sebrights, 6 black tail buff Japanese, 4 silver duckwing OEGBs and 1 silver sebright.

And don't worry, I have been known to blow the thread up with pic every now and then...
