Aww adorable!I’ve been having lots of difficulties hatching duck eggs but I have managed to hatch 3 Saxony and 4 WH so far. I also have a broody Saxony on a nest. It’s actually her second nest as she let a chicken chase her off the first one just days before hatch. There were only two viable ones but they both hatched in the incubator. Including a dark phase one. I’m excited to learn the trait is not recessive. I tried to get her to adopt them back but long story short it went badly and they are in a brooder.
And even though my ducks are free range they are sticking to breed groups because all the ducklings seem to be pure Saxony or pure WH.

I’m thinking of possibly trying to acquire a couple more Saxony and breed some as their are surprising uncommon & hard to get ahold of where I am located. My mind isn’t totally made up yet and I have ALOT more research to do.
