Hi everyone! Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend.

I had a fairly good weekend, two doelings and 17 (so far) ducklings, I'd call that pretty good.

I would call that good! How is the one that was curled up doing?

Yeah. His feet are still curled and the way he's laying on his back makes it hard for him to lift his head but I have seen him pick it up and hold it almost straight, as soon as this last zip is out I think I'm going to make him boots and see if that helps.

Does this look shrink wrapped? It did all the zipping this morning but isn't getting anywhere with the pushing.

Here's a question. If you collect duck eggs on different days but set them all at the same time do they develop at the same rate ?

yes, as long as they are stored in the same environment, they will incubate equally.

Does this one look like a splash to you guys? It's mostly blueish yellow and yellow but it has some black spots too.

It's called silver in ducks, but no, your duck is blue. Black leaking through is common in blue ducks and is not a fault.

Yes, as long as they staid at the same temp,mor or less, before incubation.
Just remember that every day after laying thst the egg is not incubated will reduce 2% of its hatcability, in average.

agreed.

I would definitely check that one. It does look possibly shrink wrapped.

agreed.

Yeah, I thought it had a different name. Ok.

Alright. It's the last pip or zip so I guess I don't really run the risk of shrink wrapping anyone else. There's just the two unpipped eggs.

with no more pip or zip you are ok opening it at this point.
