Some of the babies that I've hatched naturally or by incubating since 2017.

Showgirl hatched black Australorp mixed chick (pullet). She was picking at egg, helping her hatch,11/1/2017. My very first chick to hatch and she was done naturally.

Peek-a-boo, I see you! Khaki Campbell duckling also hatched in the same clutch of eggs by a Showgirl hen, 11/6/17. My first duckling to hatch ever.

I'm almost out!!! But I need to rest first. (Not an entry, just showing duckling hatching)

Welcome to the world, Runner/Khaki Campbell mixed duckling, 7/12/21

First duckling of the year to hatch by incubating. 3/26/22. (5/5 males)

While the above eggs were hatching, I also had an olive egger hatching 2 ducklings (no photos of them hatching), both turned out to be females. Also had a Runner duck with 19 duck and chicken eggs - she took them from other nests. 8 duckling hatched (7m, 1f) and 1 pullet chick that hatched on 5/26/22 (Welsummer/Easter Egger cross). Several eggs were duds, sadly lost 3 chicks and a duckling days before due to hatch. In 2022, I had 15 duckling hatch, 3 females and 12 males plus the pullet Welsummer/Easter Egger cross hatch by the white duck in above photo.
