This is excellent advice

If your ducklings have crests on the sides of their heads where their ear holes are they may be deaf. They can still live a good life, they just are loud.

Also, I really know nothing about calls so I would ping them.

I give tiny safety holes when they star to shadow. I wouldn't do it unless you can see their little bills pushing. Holes I make are very tiny. If you can afford it, I highly recommend Brinsea they are pricy but I get much higher hatch rates. I call them set and forget it. My nurture right...

Give the a tiny safety hole. I use the egg punch from my egg steamer. You need somebody that knows calls I have hatched domestic ducks. Maybe not quite A 100. But never a call. Wait wait wait and wait some more on the domestics. I'm close to Houston and we've had a lot of electrical...

Way to early to assist in my opinion . duck eggs require lots and lots of patience. Usually if they need help, they will stress peep and you can hear them. You might think about safety holes for those moving around. I usually don't help until day 29 unless I get the stress peeping. That...

Or 10. I candeled this morning. The three that are older and went through lots of power outages I'm not sure of. The two I put in the day after my drake was eaten have little beating hearts :wee

I'm not fan of spraying. But a big fan of ducklings

Ha I post cows cats and dogs. My geese are Toulouse. I wish I had Pilgrims but these were free.

Sorry I know nothing about broodys but these guys are really cute. Its been busy even outside the electricity fun. Buttercup went walkabout in the new subdivision. I don't think the city folks over there appreciated a cow in their yard. Shes pretty but a escape artist so she had to get a new...

Over a million people without power here. I am thankful for the generator. Tornadoes took out the huge electrical lines. They are down over the interstate so that's closed as well.

Oh and I hope that KC is a female. I tried a drake to add some DNA to the flock. Dh named him Rapy Mcrapeface. I had to get rid of him.

Those look like Anconas. Very cute. I'm sad. I'm down to three ducks. All those people that got dogs during the pandemic are dumping them. Poor dogs and poor ducks.

Eggse!ent idea

She can go but just a little bit so she doesn't get too cold. Dry her off afterwards. Just no more than 3 minutes. I made up the time.
