After taking 3 months off, my ducks have started laying again. 4 eggs in the last 2 days.

Some of my ducklings have taken 40 hours plus to hatch. Dont worry yet.

Mine get in the water dish every morning.

My ducks love it outside in thr winter. I open the door and they go in and out as they please.

There is nothing better than fresh homemade duck egg noodles!

That is a fisher. The largest member of the weasel family. Very voracious predator.

I actually lost 5 ducks Wednesday night. I thought it was coyotes, thats usually what it is until we saw a fisher last night about a mile from our place. Now I am a little worried, fishers are fairly big and not necessarily nocturnal. I have not lost another bird since but now I have noticed a...

Coyotes came in last night a killed 4 of my muscovies. My big drake, a 1yr old white hen and 2 dark 4 month old hens. The risks of free ranging. Tonight the rodeo starts. Everyone in at dark. Should be interesting. The ducks love sleeping in the yard

In 20 minutes I doubt if the internal temp of the eggs rose. Maybe a little. Is your thermometer correct? You are a very dedicated person to check every 20 min.

Yes this is possible. I have a pair of bonded Buff Orpington drakes.

Congrats on the duckling! I lock my mama muscovy up with her ducklings. Muscovy ducklings seem very fragile and I am pretty sure my cats have eaten a few. Mom doesnt seem to be able to keep track of too many.

I am not sure on size. I purchased my adult ducks last year and this years ducklings have not started to lay yet.

It will be fine to eat. Yum!

Your drake must be a Cayuga. Your babes look like mine do!

Yes, duck egg take a lot longer to see development. 10 days or so.

I think half is standard for them hatching your eggs. Not sure its fair but standard.

Do you have an incubator or know of someone who does? Sometimes I see ads for people who will hatch your eggs for you.

I love cayugas. I have 3 and just hatched out a couple. 17 is alot of eggs.

Looks like a normal egg to me. If she is not sitting yet she hasnt filled her clutch. If you are wanting to find out if they are fertilized break one open. What kind of duck?
