Who's Hatching Ducks? Hatch With Us!! *Page 3*

wifezilla, glad they are doing better and their eyes are clearing. To bad you cannot find out what caused the eye issue, it would be a great learning issue.

Wish I knew too. Bacterial contamination may? I just found out my son had been opening the lid on the incubator (he is autistic...and very curious...LOL). I think my next attempt I will use foam blocks OUTSIDE the incubator for turning instead of turning by hand.

We are on the same day!

Some of mine already have internal pips - but no action. I did candle this morning and they were all moving - so now I just need to leave them alone.

I hate waiting!

Are you hatching call ducks too?

Well I'm late to this tread but I have one splash Swedish out of the shell resting and another pipped. Out of the seven I got I'm afraid that's all that are going to make it but at least we got the two of them. I hope at least one is a hen.

Just checked - got one external pip.

Still the other one internal pip - no new action on it.

Would be nice to get more than one duckie out of this batch - since I don't have anymore in the bator right now.

I have a little baby duck, the others didn't make it. I think it has to do with the location of the incubators, though I can't get a straight answer (or any answer) about it. Oh well, at least I have 1. It looks like a rouen/pekin mix. It came from a 'big' egg (not the rouen's), and it looks like a rouen, so it must have a rouen daddy and pekin mama

Plus it has a lot of yellow spots on it, rouens don't normally have this much yellow on them! Not bright yellow anyway! Hmmmm....though I believe it has black feet? Which would say cayuga?? Now I'm confused!

Would be cool if he were spotted.

I've still got the one pip shell - no other action.

I'm not touching it, I'm not touching it .....

Ok, to stop me from touching the hatcher... I took some pics of Squishy and Spiffy.

This is the only one that halfway turned out - I have chicks in there, too. Spiffy is smaller than the chicks he hatched out with - and Squishy is three weeks old (but was still larger at hatch than Spiffy was). Spiffy is probably the tiniest ducky I've ever seen.

 

[shelleyd2008]

OMG!! How cute is that??

You really ought to see Spiffy in person, she is such a tiny sweet thing. When I pick her up she "bills" my hand like she's eating my fingers

(I say she is kissing me

) Then she settles in and just hangs out there.

Squishy, on the other hand, freaks out if ya pick him up
