maybe you shouldnt get drake eggs I am new to ducks but I thought a drake was a boy

I think my one little egg that was fertile from Julie's drake is a quitter. It just doesn't look right and I can't see movement. But the veins are still there.... I'm giving it til tonight. I was so excited about that one.

Julie-I'd say day 18ish or so. I'm basically just not admitting what I already know.

Because I'm in denial.

LOL QJ... I know what you mean.

see Im learning I thought only geese had a cross gender problem when we found our white pilgrim gander fred laying eggs "note and there fertile"

Well... That's a good question.

Oh Good Grief Jerry Ford!!!

I was told you ladies woul dbe able to help me. i hope you can!!!! I have two call duck eggs that have been wiggling since saturday in the morning, It has been three days that they have been rocking and I still don't have a pip or anything. Should I tap a hole in it to get then started? I don't want them to suffocate. I don't mean to sound like a spas but I have been hand turning them since I set them and I am kind of attached to them. So I hope someone can help with some advice. thanks Jess

It's not the greatest pic, because I'm too tired to take more than one. But here are the first 7 babies in the brooder. All arms and legs seems to be facing the right way, and they are eating and drinking well.

It looks like a duck sunday Psue said it was a toy not ice cream
