Congrats Isa on the babies, they're freaking adorable! Runners are so cool honestly

Thank you! I love them so much. They're such a great breed.

Thank you! I love them so much. They're such a great breed.

They are! With their erect stance, such cute long bois. Didn't you have the momma runner last year flying to your face?

Those are really pretty, especially the second one

For some reason out of my 5 Swedish 4 of them have a buff colour within the feathers and one is full buff
My silver girl is the only one without
Somebody was carrying a buff gene but none if the parents showed it on themselves
My friend owns the parents and was not happy She paid good money for purebred
I myself don’t mind as I don’t show my birds or run purebred

 

[Luv Ducks]

Me too
I have no idea who are the moms or dads. I have a mix flock
Pekin
Khaki
Pekin x khaki
Blue Swedish
Silver Swedish
Blue/ silver Swedish
Buff Swedish
So I have no idea what they will look like

I will be watching for them on the Jerry Springer show, lol. Who's your Daddy???

Just got back from the vets with dasher. She got her second hormone shot
Her vet thinks her vent area is starting to show slight improvement
Please let this continue so my girl can fully heal
I got back and ran up to check on baby 3 that needed assistance but still had just a few tiny veins I could see while candling before I left
Baby was pushing out with the help of his siblings
I didn’t have to finish helping
I did pick him up to make sure his belly was good and it was
We now have 3
The other two are full of energy and running around the bator
I’ll wait a few hours till this last guy is up and going then move all 3 to the brooder and wait for the final 7

We have a second baby
He actually was 3/4 zipped not sure how as his foot was over his head but when I picked the egg up the cap pretty much crumbled and he slipped right out
Baby 3 still has a little bit of veins
The other 7 are all working hard
We should have more hatches tonight and into tomorrow
@Isadora we are both very lucky
My babies won’t be staying though they have a new home once they all hatch so I can’t get to attached

But wont that be hard not to get attached? Congratulations though!

Wanted to share some of my bigger clan from yesterday

They are gorgeous!

Very hard. I may or may not have been caught cuddling the one that hatched first
I find buyers before I hatch so I know before I start these are not my babies
Otherwise I would have 100 ducks
I have been sending candling videos and updated pics to the lady. She is so excited and great full i have included her in the process
