A little update on our August hatches! we ended up with 1 Welsummer pullet, one gorgeous welsummer/Sussex cockerel, one buff orpington cockerel, and 4 buff orpington pullets. we lost one of our runner ducks at a few days old, but we have two drakes and two hens left. 😊 “nugget” our HUGE buff...

BCM on my list to hatch next year! I haven’t seen anywhere local that does them, and I had 0% hatch on any shipped eggs this time. So really want to be able to get them from a breeder! They lay such beautiful eggs!! Happy hatching! 💕

Here’s the duckling friends for the other two! Splash, Spot, abd Twirl

Found 3 more runner ducklings that hatched yesterday to buy, so picking them up tonight to get to know these two! 😍 truffle And Bigfoot The ducklings already seem so much friendlier than the chicks. They cry when we put them back in the brooder like they want to keep being held. I guess...

Guess you need to get her some eggs! Lol

Only 2 ducklings made it. I think because they hatched so early, they weren’t even in lockdown, and the humidity was low when they pipped which made it hard for them. My parents (bless them for trying) didn’t think they needed help, but i knew straight away when I got here they’d need...

So one of the ducklings started zipping late last night and has not progressed for the past few hours. we are on our way home from our holiday and I’m talking my parents through how to investigate/assist 😳😳😳

First duckling is out! One is starting to zip

One of the ducks is almost out! My parents sent me a video. I’m dying. Can’t believe they’re hatching and I’m not there! how will they know I love them if they don’t sense me checking them every 5 minutes?! 😂 Hopefully they’re all healthy etc, because I would feel awful if my parents had to...

Three of our runner duck eggs have pips and we are away on holiday. 😬 my parents are looking after them and I just had to give instructions for lockdown etc. Day 28 is Tuesday, so they are quite early. I’m hoping they’re actually ready and that the temp hasn’t been too high.

Ok...so I think my second hen is going broody. She’s been spending more time than usual in the coop, and just standing on the ramp. 🤔🤷‍♀️😂I’ve found her a few times sitting in the nest box, and she’s not laying as often. stuck a couple of her eggs in there (I’ve been scrambling them for the...

look at your cute little “helper”

such a handsome little guy! 😍 and yay for hatching! 👏👏👏

X2 @kelseyk 🤞

I had one of these in my July hatch, but it had so many other things wrong with it 😔 if it’s intestines are out, I was advised that you should gently push them in with a q-tip. Hope it pulls through!! 🙏 🤞

We are hoping that it will be sort of self cleaning. The wall at the front has a small dip that overflows into a drain. We get a lot of rain here in the UK, so hoping that it will keep the water flowing through quite reqularly 👍

Still have 7 runner duck eggs going strong on day 10. We are going to have to build a bigger duck house before they hatch as well. We did build a drain/water feature duck pond in the shared chicken/duck run over the last couple days. We built a wall around it, with a gentle slope in, so...

7/8 runner duck eggs developing on day 4. #8 has a rolling air cell even though I picked them up in person, and looks like it’s either infertile or started and quit. also...pretty sure the ducklings we got with the duck house are drakes. So....they probably won’t be with us for too long before...

You are such a bad influence! (And by bad...I mean good. Bc we all want to keep hatching 😂😂)

Hiiiiii.... I’m here. I think I have a problem. :oops: 8 runner duck eggs in my incubator. They’re beautiful big blue eggs and I don’t have any blue egg layers in my flock so here’s hoping we get some girls!! I’ve got to stop after this month because we will be at capacity until the chicks...
