SM: You really need to start a thread for Pete.  You could be helping a ton of peeps.  

I will do it in the morning. I promise.

Hey DG?

 

[stillmecle]

When do you think you will have eggs for me?

Speaking of ducks, there are several ponds where I work and there are lots of wild ducks. From what I understand, as soon as the baby ducks hatch and go in the ponds, the fish eat them. I never see any baby ducks.

If I were to find some duck eggs and put them in my bator, would the babies be "wild as march hares", or would they be somewhat tame if hand raised? I think most are mallards, although there are some that have more white on them.

My DH says "NO DUCKS", but . . . . . just curious.

They would be tame to you. Nature vs Nurture, and Nurture will win. My mom snagged wild mallerd eggs, and they were fine, except they will fly off!!

Nope, the babies would be as tame as any other duck if hand raised.
