Speaking of cayugas, my favorite duckling from the last hatch is a cayuga.

AND.... I just got an email saying my cayuga eggs from Pidgey are on their way!

Cute pic ! (My daughter has that same stuffy toy!)

The next blue egg turned up its zipping and is beating the white egg now.

And we moved the babies to the brooder tank:

I use it and keep their water at the other end of the brooder. Don't give them a big enough dish to swim in. I put in a bigger bowl for them to swim in once a day or so, and shut the light off for 20 minutes or so and let them splash around. Inside I use a regular bulb or blacklight, but outside I use the 250 watt red bulbs. I didn't like the ceramic ones when I had them for my snakes and lizards because I wouldn't notice right away when they went out.

I have used the ceramic ones alot when I had my plethora of about 20 snakes, & they are okay imo ~ I ended up going back to the red heat lamp. White during the day & red at night. I now only use the red bulb, I started out with the 250 watt red one.... But I switched to the Philips 100w Colortone Outdoor floodlight... Because it can handle weather & are more durable. My 2 cents

Oh and Utah... I might have chuckled at the ducky toys you have in your tank. I did. I chuckled. Laughed really. It was more of a laugh. Kind of a chuckle laugh combination. It was a Luckle.

That's cute.

That Ancona is a cutie but those Cayugas.....!! They look like velvet.
Actually they reminded me of novelty fluffy duck slippers. Don't know why.

That is exactly what they look like, lol!

Sooo cute ! Congrats on hatching! I want to hatch some of my ducks !

At the risk of killing everyone today for so many pictures... this is my 19 day old ancona. Remember how it was solid yellow when it hatched?

Jaz, you will MELT when you see what you hatch from aurora springs' eggs!! The next blue egg is 1/2 way zipped. I'm a touch nervous about one of the white eggs. There is no obvious pip and it is getting a yellow tint to the shell? After this ducky hatches, and the humidity spikes again, I want to give it a quick candle.
