Thanks. I’ll send some better ones later today. So far nine babies. One all black, feet, bill, and plumage. I’m guessing a mix breed but I also read that welsh harlequins can carry the dusky gene so idk. I removed ten dead in the egg. Air cells were small and three were average size and the ducks had pipped. The others never did pip. Eight remaining eggs in the incubator.Congratulations!
Can’t wait to see all the pictures
It was fun watching them break free. My son was amazed. He stood over the incubator and watched a few hatch. We’ll be doing this again. I just hope next time we have a better hatch rate.Glad they're making their way out safely! I'm always amazed these tiny little guys can manage it. Duck egg shells are so tough lol. I'm sure the egg tooth helps a lot, but still.
More to come….still hatching! Two in the incubator. Two more almost hatched. Three more working on it.Congratulations!

So precious!!More to come….still hatching! Two in the incubator. Two more almost hatched. Three more working on it.
I hope to get some cute pics of them but for now just brooder pics Final count of 15. If the sexing by the beak method holds true with welsh harlequins then I have 7 boys and 7 girls. I have them separated for now so their new owners can differentiate. The dark duckling is an unknown. I set mixed eggs and purebred eggs but it looks like only one mix egg hatched. Assuming that one is a mix which I’m pretty sure it is. I’m going to post a genetics question about my dark duckling separatelySo precious!!
