Once you see her in the nest a full day then day 1 starts the next day then 35 days till hatch. I set eggs under my Cochin bantam yesterday Morning today is day 1. It may take till day 37 for all to hatch.

Aww! Please post pictures! Make sure you have a heat lamp and that is is around 95 degrees the first 2 weeks then take away 5 degrees each week afterwards. If you only have one then make sure you spend a TON of time with it. Most if the time it will follow you around and such cause it has bonded with you. It believes it's a human, not a duck lol

Quote: She might need a friend. Ducks are very social, so if you are not around all the time, she will get lonely
What are you feeding her? Chick starter? Just make sure it is NOT MEDICATED. Ducks can be poisoned by that...
Also, heres a link you might find useful https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/750869/raising-and-caring-for-ducklings#post_10611711

And if on chick starter I would do some brewer's yeast or nutritional yeast for extra niacin.
