To who ever suggested the feather duster....

[Wifezilla]

You are a genius!!!

My lone duck egg hatched and she snuggles under the feathers. I also put a mirror in there so JJ has a "buddy" until the ducklings come in at the feed store tomorrow.

So is that Janet's baby or ??? It's very cute!

 

[Wifezilla]

Yes

JJ is Janet's baby. It looks a little light-colored because of the flash, but I am 99% sure this is a pure bred khaki.

 

[BeardedChick]

Oh cool! I'm glad it was her egg.

Did you order Khakis to keep JJ company?

 

[chicklady63]

Very cute baby. Congratulations!

BC, I am going to have to take my chances at the feed store. I have been studying duckling photos so I can tell what the different breeds look like. I would like another khaki or even a runner. Basically as long as I don't get a Pekin or a Muscovy, I will be happy.

 

[BeardedChick]

I'm going to order a few from Ideal to brood with the two I hatched...

It will be easier to brood them all at the same time, right?

 

[Wifezilla]

I hope so! LOLOL

 

[Guitartists]

Ooooo.... poor little thing LOL It'll be so happy when those little ducks come in

I'll have to remember the feather duster trick... that is a smart one indeed!

 

[Wifezilla]

I wish I could remember who suggested it. They need a medal or ribbon or something! JJ snuggles up to the feathers and does the "run out and explore for 3 seconds and dive back under the feathers real quick" thing just like a baby duck in the wild would do with mama.

The best part is the darn thing was only 99¢!!!
