Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

Ok, I will talk to you all after dinner. Gotta feed the baby ducks. Give them a bath. Feed the little bro. Do dishes. Ect.

Later!
 
Hi everyone! I am new to the ducks section of BYC. Just ordered my first 12 duck eggs (Silver Appleyards) to come Monday. :celebrate  Yay!!!



I've never hatched duck eggs before so I am very nervous; I've done a ton of chicken eggs though... I'm hoping it's similar. :fl




Slightly, yes :D

Hope you like it here! We are a bit chatty :P
 
Marty.. We eat duck eggs all of the time, and have 3 customers who buy a doz each every other week. Our teenage son bakes cookies with them too about every week.

CG, what type of ducks do you want? Are you on a timeline? Do you want hatching eggs? I can't set another duck egg right now and get 4 khaki eggs daily. Pay the shipping and I will fill the box. Let me know more than happy to share them.

QJ, this is the long slow part, they will rest often until the start zipping.

When vent sexing, be sure you are pushing in, it's more of a pulling out to the sides away from the vent area. Slow and steady as not to injure them.

Oh and Marty, little man is doing much better. No fever, mild diarrhea but eatting like a champ again. He is an infertility baby, every shot was well worth it to have him.

QJ, sorry the chicks are giving you a hard time hatching. Are they in with the geese?

Jaz, too funny about the escape, maybe create a most wanted poster (all old west style) and post it.
 
Celtic thanks for the offer but i need ones the same age as the geese. Ill find sumthin


An dj 10 chicks $5 for all
 
Hey WMR! I was setting your box on the counter this evening. Have three boxes going out to three of you who al chat here. Welcome to the most talkative group in the duck area.

We have a few set to hatch tonight into tomorrow. khaki, silver Appleyard, buff, maybe a Rouen I think there are 6 total. I can box and ship them out Monday to arrive Tues/Wed to you of you don't find anything. It would put them just a couple days younger.
 
WMR- Welcome! You'll love ducks, if you can get over the mess part.
CG- Yay, glad you found someone to buy them so quick. As far as ducklings, you'll have some of your own in a few weeks you'll want to keep. Be patient grasshopper.
