Sending Good Hatching Vibes your Way

I'd like to hatch some Call ducks. Don't really know where to begin to find some though. I think it would be great. I've hatched many types of chicken, guinea and quail eggs but have never tried ducks.

You can go to the buy/sell/trade section and post that you want to buy some. You'll find plenty of members willing to send them I'm sure!

Well, ducky that half hatched yesterday still looks good (but so did the one that died, right up until about a half hour before it gave up).

No action at all on the other duck eggs - I think they quit late in the incubation

I hope other duck eggs aren't as hard to hatch as call ducks.

Thanks, I'll have to look. I better free up some space in the incubator first. I have eggs in the hatcher and my incubator is completely full.

Runners seem to be easier than calls. I've put over a dozen call eggs in the bator now and NONE of them developed! I have 14 more that I've collected this week that I'm going to put in on Saturday when I weed out the non-developing geese and other ducks, so

that we get some action.

I did end up putting all those saxony eggs in the bators (the ones that were sent to me by mistake) but I won't know how they are doing until next week. Are they easy - who knows. I can't seem to find much info on them besides Dave Holderread's book.

5 Days until first hatch! I stop turning on Sunday!

The one buff goose and 4 white runners are the first and they are all moving arond like good little birds...then I have two more buffs, an embden, and like 6 more white, black, and blue runners after that.

Plus, next week my holderread's buff geese are coming - so regardless of whether or not my guys hatch, I'll still have reet-reets (as my kids call them) to cuddle!

Are Call ducks super loud? I've been reading that they are and I don't want to get anything terribly loud.

 

[Feathered Wings]

I have heard that the females are very loud.

Hi
Im a neewbie to BYC and to raising chickens and ducks, I have read everything i can get my hands on but have found that the best info is from here. My hubby just picked us up a HOVA BATOR , I have 4 baby Pekin ducks that are growing like weeds. We also have 5 Roan ducks the girls have just started laying eggs over the past few days we have 7 eggs in a nest but I read that they do not tend to sit on there eggs. The eggs look dirty but one duck is moving the eggs to the nest as the others lay them in the yard. So my question is do i leave her eggs and hope she sits on them? Or do we remove them and clean them ? And if so what is the best way to do this? Any info would be great.

Thanks
