The Duck Thread

I was going to say they both look like my ancona ducklings did. I had black grey and chocolate. I think magpies look very similar to anconas so could be either or lol.

Lol you never know when they are this little. You can only have wild guesses lol I think a gray Ancona would be pretty

I started with ten, in the last two months I've gone from ten to 39....

Well that definitely makes me feel better lol. Hubby said I can get an incubator so I don't have to rely on ship babies!!

Here they are at 2 weeks. I am shocked at how quickly they grow. The chicks I hatched last year grew much more slowly. Their bodies are already longer than my hand!

Bath time is a favorite but they also enjoy lining up in their bin to watch movies with us and getting out of the bin to cuddle on our laps.

Cute! Is that one of those heat plates?

It is a Brinsea ecoglow. It has worked great and no worries!

I made one of those heatpad caves and I love it but I think I like your set up.

Oooh I like this idea. I need to test this out....

I made a waterer like this for my ducks and it has worked very well, just cut the holes larger as they grow. It is a juice bottle with holes cut in it the size of their heads. I cut mine in corner of the bottle, so the opening is on the front edge of the bottle. They can't climb in and haven't knocked it over yet.

I have been very happy with it and so have the babies. Now they often sit with just their butts underneath it.

Yes thats very true and sometimes longer lol. Our grey is beautiful. Je turned out to be a special needs boy. He has like a cleft pallet bill. He gets along well though. Ill have to take a pic tomorrow. He is the only ancona we ended up keeping. He has a golden 3000 lady duck lol.
