The Duck Thread

Yes we are moving them in evening...the animals are getting their own trip. So will be nothing but them and their things. Do you think if I loaded the duck coop and secured it then put the 6 older ones in it together inside their coop once it's loaded that would be good or no?

So my Hatchabatch app says I'm on day 20 today but when I candled last night (day 19) the eggs look more like days 22-24! These are under my mallard broody, is it possible the heat and humidity is speeding up development some?? I have 5 developing great after an early roll around with a snake disposal! Started with 6 the last one never developed.

It was a rough one but all done but the organizing now...lol. All the birds did great! Thank God. Chickens even laid some eggs, 3 yesterday and 4 so far today.

well just a quick update on my ducks.

they finally are coming around and letting me pet them (a month ago they ran from me) now they just stand still and let me pet them and then they run off and quack and want treats.

@itsasmallfarm How come your only getting 1 Runner duck please try for 2, Runners need another of their breed so they will fit in.

Congrats on getting them to where you can pet them, Treats win every time.
