Thanks. We will just have to leave it up to the mom.

Is it okay that the broody hen is a Muscovie? I never really had ducks this is my first time.

I was so tempted to get your boys but then I would be overloded with runners!

As long as she is a good broody everything should be fine. I've used chickens to hatch duck eggs before. Everything worked out just fine. Good luck!

Thanks. But don't ducks require more humidity?

Oh I'm so glad to hear!! I could tell they were going to a loving home, but man was it hard to sell my very first baby!!

I'm glad to have a name to go along with the face.

I will look forward to pics!! Tell the babies I miss them!

I candled my Serama eggs today, and I saw 5 wiggling embryos!!

Fingers crossed that I don't screw something up before hatch time!

i just saw the pics of of the parents of the pullet i bought from sunvalley they are just beautiful i can't wait to see how she grows i love captain jacks color oh thanks sunnycalifornia i love the color of the oegb chicks dad he was beautiful can't until he grows up i'll send u pics when he grows up more i'll bring him to the next meetup what bread is the other chick is it a cochin as i like her she is so sweat she is the first to greet me when i go feed them in the morning to see what i have for them.

The little black and white chick is a banty cochin mix. I only had one egg hatch from that batch, so Jake gave me a "buddy" out of his brooder to take home so my little OEGB chick wouldn't be lonely. The two chicks have been BFF's since day one, and I didn't want to see them separated. I think it might be a girl. She is very sweet, and always would jump out of the brooder to see me. And yes, I can't wait to see pics! I'll send you some baby pics of my roos, so you can see the transformation.
