Congratulations! Where is she now? With the main flock? I would keep her separate if you have deep water bowls out or feed layer pellets to your main flock, because the ducklings will get into trouble with both of those things. Don't move her until the hatch has finished.
No she hasn’t. She is only 8 months. She laid her first egg about a month and a half ago and then went broody so I figured I’d try putting my ducks eggs under her since silkies are suppose to be good at hatching other poultry. My inside coop is pretty large and i’ve locked all the other chickens out (they will be locked in the run which has houses with nesting boxes raised up). I put chick food(non medicated) with a small waterer and took away all other food.
Sounds perfect. Good luck!
Yes! I have the lisa steeles brewers yeast! I used it on my ducks when they were ducklings and even for my chickens during the winter!Sounds perfect. Good luck!
Be aware that ducklings need supplemental niacin if they are fed chick starter rather than all-flock; they may otherwise develop leg problems.

Awesome! I'm glad to hear that.
My ducks are ancona/blue swedish mixes and they are soo pretty so I decided to hatch some of their eggs!What kind of ducks are they? Ducks usually take around 28 days to hatch. Congrats! I agree with the above posts
