Thanks Celtic! I was struggling to explain egg anatomy to someone the other day! Great teaching tool!

Maybe you can put him in an aquarium with them, so he can see them and hear them both, but no danger of damage to his young duckhood. Soooo cute. He looks white or silver to me.

call duck. =)

i feel bad i dont have anyone small enough for him and no more babies hatching out until the 21st ish.
so if his dose doesnt hatch he is gona be lonely.

right now he is in a box in the rugrats brooder so i only have 1 light goin and he wont be totaly lonely.

Hi GC, hi Julie, hi SM!

good evening everybody. Took down the plywood housing around the ducks area and put up the short wire fence that i use for the summer. Cleaned the inside of the duck kennel alittle today too. Tried to get a bunch done today since I go to the hospital tomorrow. I have to be there at 1:30 tomorrow. Not sure how long it will take. In the morning I have a bunch more to get done before heading down to the hospital so I probably won't be in much tomorrow. I will try to update tomorrow night. I have my Crelo chickens on lockdown tonight. They are due on Tuesday and I saw alot of dips in the eggs. Then as soon as they are hatched, I have a BUNCH of Pekins due. It is going to be non stop hatching for the next 3 weeks or so. Busy Busy. Told Hubby I will need his help as much as possible. I am not sure what my down time will be either.

You sure will be super-busy!

for happy, healthy hatchlings!

ok guys here he iss .
he is less than 6 hours old (not by much). at 4 pm he was ext. pipped and peepeing . at 8 pm. he was out and starting to dry. and it is now 10:30 pm and he is dry and fiesty.

i beleive he is going to be snowy. right celtic and julie??



he looks SOOOO tiny after seeing my 2 week old geese and normal sized ducks.

i do beleive this little one may have to stay here forever since he is my first ever hatch of my stock.
im think of calling him uno.

Hello, Uno! Welcome to the world little sweetie!

well with the box he is in the goslings are tall enough to see in it .
so im sure they will keep him company regularly.
and i will not let him be lonely =)
i will be his buddy =) haha maybe i will finally have my super friendly baby.


i dont think he will be white.
but silver could be a possibility i guess . lol with the colors i have i can get just about any color out of my eggs.

Will you guys kill me if I post a bunch of candling pics??
