Quote: if they are shipped eggs then that is most likely why! that is the risks.....
I have had whole clutches never start because of the rough handling by the usps
and it isn't always due to packaging...I've had eggs arrive in expensive purchase packing and they still had some broken...

The sad thing is if I want babies they have to be shipped no one here in wisconsin has any eggs right now!

I want to try again but I don't want to spend the money and get nothing!

What about your ducks? won't they be old enough in the spring to lay eggs?

Ya they will be old enough but I only have one little female and three boys so want to get some babies I can raise over winter to have then be able to breed this coming year too!( they r 4 month old)

My ducklings are going to be 3 weeks old this weekend. They are on chick crumble right now. When can I switch them over to the duck grower pellets? I am going to the feed store this Thursday and I cant decide if I should get 50 pounds of chick crumble for the ducklings or 50 pounds of grower.....

I stay on the crumble till atleast two months but that's just wt I did!

Thank you! I guess I will just get both.

No harm in having extra feed around. The quail chicks are hatching next Wednesday so they could use the crumble anyway.
