Thank you for your kind words

He is unfortunately a solo duck right now...and clearly in mourning. I have no problem adopting an adult mate for him but want to make sure he is not 'sick' since I don't know what exactly happened to Suzie which is scary. Thank you for reaching out.

My 1 yr old white layered female died suddenly! She was fine yesterday...her & her mate Lenny[ he's the pekin..4 yrs old] do free roam..we have a pond..but at 4pm back in the run they go and then lockdown b4 dark in their hut. At 6am they were in their run..at 730am I opened gate to let them...

I agree with Blue..if they were covered they should not have been taken in..should have been left alone. I would try to return..keep an eye out for Mom...babies much better with her especially if wild

It's REALLY important to keep track of eggs when doing the incubator as far as EXACT DAYS. That is sad about the geese eggs. I'm doing chicks for very first.time[ day 19] and I've kept a diary...candle checked ect...I've seen movement so I am very hopeful in 2 days I will have baby chickies!

I have to agree with "sourland"....I understand that kids are VERY excited BUT they should not be near the incubator where they can touch it.....espeically if they can have access to it while not suprvised. We (2 adutls) are so so careful as all is so fragile! Good luck on the hatching, keep us...

Thank you so much...I am not a FB person...so between this site & reading I am hoping to learn more! RIght now, we purchased an egg incubator....I am HOPING to get some off spring from the ones I lost since it was within the correct time period to do so...keep fingers crossed!
