Waiting for broody hen to hatch ducklings is KILLING me!

[nayeli]

Well this is my first time with ducks and my 10 month old Welsh Harlequin Hen decided to go broody on us! I don't mind other than not having fresh eggs to eat... but the wait is killing me. There is still at least two more weeks left and with egg collection it has already been 3 weeks! I'm also nervous to see if any will hatch!

Anyone else get antsy waiting for babies?

I just found that my muscovie laid 4 eggs in an old lunch cooler in my car port today. She's an odd duck lol. I am so excited but now I have to wait 35 or so days to see them.

Sort of i have one Muscovy in my banty chicken barn(don't ask- her choice, goodball) i did see a pip on one egg this am will need to check to see if we finally have babies! scovies are the worst though, we have to wait and average of 35 days.

Good luck with your hatch!

I want one to imprint on my since none of the ducks are super friendly... so I'm hoping I can find them and find one before it hatches.
