The Duck Thread

Sorry for the photobomb, but I gotta share our new flock of beautiful Calls! Am loving the variety of colors and they are sooo sweet too!

@Julie Bird fair warning, there is lots of cute roundness and webs to follow!

I still want that first one! And the last one would be an awesome pic for the photo caption thread!

Thanks, Kathy! We're loving these guys! :D Dang, hon... am so sorry... I'd look for the cleanest, most even shaped, freshest ones and set those... does your bator have a fan? Sounds like you might have hot and cool spots maybe? Very welcome, Julie Bird... I couldn't post that much cute without tagging you, you know that... :D Me too... I love how happy she gets seeing adorable duck pics... :)
I have a still air so no fan. Maybe only set in the middle or the outside edges? Maybe have more luck with 12 rather than 30+
Love that! Thanks for the link! Here's a pic, if anyone can't click the link. http://www.backyardchickens.c

I'm sorry you lost those. :hugs And I agree with Ravyn's response... clean, even shaped, and fresh. Might even candle and look at porosity before setting them. I wouldn't say not to set porous eggs, just if some are good and solid, and some are very porous, I might leave those really porous ones out..... if you are trying to eliminate some.
will try
 
I have two drakes that imprinted, and they are still close to me and my daughter. They follow us around, sometimes right under my feet, and walk up to us to get picked up. My 6 other ducks merely tolerate our existence, so it doesn't seem to be contagious. We moved ours outside around 4 weeks too, but I still spent as time as I could with them. I would go to their pen and sit and read after the kids went to bed. I bring them inside sometimes, but not very often. I will watch a movie with them and rub their heads. It's more for me than them :) I'm sure everyone else has seen these pictures - but here are my guys - all grown up and still our buddies.
Awww! That is soooo sweet!
